Device type (GMDN): Rechargeable professional automated external defibrillator

A portable electronic device designed to automatically detect cardiac arrhythmias (ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia) in a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) patient, after which it audibly/visually instructs an operator to enable it to activate defibrillation of the heart through application of electrical shocks to the chest surface. The device is intended to be operated by healthcare professionals (e.g., paramedics, medical staff) in healthcare settings. It consists of an external pulse generator (EPG) and a pair of skin-adhesive electrodes to monitor the rhythm and deliver the shocks; it also includes internal rechargeable batteries that must be charged when not in use.
