Automated External Defibrillators (AED)

AEDs are essential lifesaving tools for any space. At AED Brands, we pride ourselves on carrying high-quality AED machines designed with the user in mind. Our selection includes options for any setting, any budget and every skill level.

Every second counts

Why AEDs are saving lives

When sudden cardiac arrest strikes, survival drops about 10% with every minute that passes without defibrillation — yet EMS teams take 8 to 12 minutes on average to arrive. An AED on your wall bridges those critical minutes, turning coworkers, staff, or family members into lifesavers on the spot. Early defibrillation is the single biggest factor in surviving cardiac arrest, and it starts with having a device within reach.

No medical training needed

An AED anyone can use

Today's AEDs are built for everyday people, not medics. Clear voice prompts walk you through every step, the device analyzes the heart rhythm on its own, and it will only deliver a shock if one is truly needed — you can't make a mistake. All 50 states have Good Samaritan laws protecting lay rescuers. If you can follow spoken instructions, you can save a life.

Ready when it matters

Protection for your people, wherever they are

Cardiac arrest doesn't wait for a hospital — it happens at work, at school, at the gym, and at home. Installing an AED where your people live and work means help is seconds away, not minutes. And with a managed program, your device stays rescue-ready and compliant: pads and batteries tracked, state requirements covered. AED Brands has helped organizations stay prepared since 2004 — now part of Safe Life.

What is an AED?

An automated external defibrillator analyzes heart rhythm and delivers a shock to restart a heart in sudden cardiac arrest. It only shocks rhythms that need it.

Do you need a prescription to buy an AED?

Most AEDs are prescription devices (Philips Home and HeartSine 350P are OTC). AED Brands includes the physician prescription free with every order, so there is nothing extra for you to arrange.

How much does an AED cost?

New AEDs typically run $1,200 to $2,500, plus pads and a battery. Value packages bundle the accessories and signage you need at a lower total. Refurbished AEDs typically run $695 to $1395 and include new pads and battery, with a 1-year warranty.

Are AEDs required by law?

Requirements vary by state and building type. Most states mandate AEDs in schools, health clubs, or public buildings. Check your state law before purchasing.

How long does an AED last?

Most AEDs carry a 7 to 10 year warranty and serve ~10 years. Pads and batteries expire between 2 and 5 years and need scheduled replacement.

What is the difference between semi-automatic and fully automatic AEDs?

Semi-automatic units prompt the rescuer to press a shock button. Fully automatic units deliver the shock themselves. Both analyze the rhythm the same way.

Can an AED hurt someone who is not in cardiac arrest?

No. An AED analyzes the rhythm first and will not allow a shock unless it detects ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia.

Who can use an AED?

Anyone. AEDs are built for untrained bystanders and give voice prompts at every step. Good Samaritan laws in all 50 states protect lay rescuers.

What else do I need besides the AED?

A wall cabinet, signage, a rescue kit, spare pads, and a documented maintenance program. Most states also require registering the device with local EMS. AED/CPR training is always strongly recommended.
