RescueReady Technology - Ensuring Reliable AED Operation

One of the most important features of Cardiac Science AEDs is its high degree of reliability. Performing the most comprehensive self-testing in the industry ensures Cardiac Science AEDs are "RescueReady" when you need it. When the green RescueReady indicator is lit, Cardiac Science AEDs can be counted on to perform during a rescue.

Peeling Electrodes
  • Proprietary RescueReady Technology tests battery, system components, and verifies that the pre-connected disposable electrodes can properly deliver a shock.
  • Daily, weekly, monthly testing of battery, electronics, and pre-connected electrodes occurs automatically.
  • Once a month, the AED performs an automatic full charge test of the high voltage circuitry, to confirm the AED's ability to deliver a shock when needed.
  • RescueReady status indicator on the AED handle changes from green/red and emits an audible alert if service is required. (Powerheart AED G3 only)
  • Pre-connected electrodes are always stored inside the device, eliminating confusion and possible errors during a rescue.
  • Patented RescueReady technology confirms the electrodes are in the AED and ready for use.
