The Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a valuable device in providing first aid to cardiac arrest victims. It is a medical device that can be used by individuals with no prior medical knowledge or experience. Wellbeing provides genuine AED products, ensuring full warranty coverage from the manufacturer and offering first aid training for customers. To choose the right AED model for your business or organization, it’s essential to understand the features of each AED model. Let’s explore the NIHON 3100 AED in this article.

3. Key Features:

3.1. Simple Operation:

The time it takes to provide first aid during sudden cardiac arrest is critical. With every minute that passes, the survival rate of the victim drops by 7% to 10%. Therefore, the sooner the AED is used, the better. The AED NIHON 3100 operates with very simple steps, making it easy for anyone to use:

1. Step 1: Open the lid to power on.

2. Step 2: Unwrap and attach the electrodes to the victim.

3. Step 3: Press the shock button when the device prompts for a shock.

For children aged 1 to 8 years or those weighing under 25 kg, simply switch to the child mode by using the toggle on the device.

3.2. Electrode Pads for Both Adults and Children:

Unlike other AED models that require different electrodes for children and adults, the NIHON 3100 AED uses the same set of electrodes for both groups. Simply toggle the switch to adjust the shock energy to the appropriate level for the victim, saving precious time during resuscitation.

3.3. Optimized Heart Rhythm Analysis to Reduce First Aid Time:

The NIHON 3100 AED features continuous heart rhythm analysis, allowing faster detection of abnormalities. This feature ensures that the victim's heart rhythm is analyzed even during CPR, and the shock is ready before the device prompts for defibrillation. This reduces waiting time and minimizes interruptions during CPR, enhancing the chances of survival.

Unlike other AED models, where you cannot touch the victim while the machine analyzes the rhythm, the NIHON 3100 allows for uninterrupted CPR without affecting the accuracy of the analysis.

3.4. Multilingual Voice Guidance, Including Vietnamese:

A common challenge with imported medical devices is language barriers, which can hinder usage by non-English speakers. The NIHON 3100 AED eliminates this issue by offering multiple language options, including English, Japanese, and Vietnamese. Organizations can set the language according to their primary use.
