AltrixMedical SmartAED
An ultra-portable AED for first responders everywhere
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) affects more people than breast cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, AIDS, traffic accidents, house fires and gunshot wounds combined.
Automatic External Defibrillators (or AEDs) are life-saving devices rescuers use to restore the heart to its normal rhythm after a SCA. In the US alone, tens of thousands of additional lives could be saved every year if AEDs were always on hand. Unfortunately, most AEDs aren’t portable, and are therefore out of reach when needed.
AltrixMedical worked with Ideaz to create an industry first: the SmartAED—a fully-functional, pocket-size device designed for first responders on the go. Due to its compact size, untrained civilian users can carry it in a pocket or bag, store it in a car or at home, saving more lives in more places.
