Anyone can learn and become confident using a defibrillator (AED)

You may know what a defibrillator is and frequently see them, yet many people aren't confident they could use one. We can change that. CardiAcademy is a free online course that covers everything you need to know about using an AED.

If you're not experienced in using an AED, you'll appreciate the Powerheart G5’s features and options, including voice prompts, that help you perform every step of a rescue.
