• Status Indicator: A flashing green, amber, or red light allows users to quickly check the device’s readiness and functionality.

• Public Access Ready: Ideal for installation in public spaces, both indoors and outdoors. For outdoor use, we recommend a heated cabinet to protect the unit from environmental factors. The AED is IP55 rated, protecting it from dust and water spray. An optional carry case is also available for extra protection.
