Executive Summary
The US FDA has given Cardiac Science clearance to market what the Irvine, California firm claims is a technologically advanced automated external defibrillator (AED) designed for use by medical and emergency rescue professionals. The Powerheart AED G3 PRO is unique in that it displays the victim's heart rhythm on a built-in high resolution colour electrocardiogram display and gives users the option of delivering defibrillation shocks either semi-automatically or manually during the emergency treatment of victims of sudden cardiac arrest. The device has a suggested list price of $3,995.
