Its standout feature lies in the SMART electrode pads, versatile for both adult and child casualties with a simple button press – a unique advantage compared to other AEDs that typically require separate electrodes for adults and children.

This recognisable AED is user-friendly and of high quality. Again, this device is the right choice in many situations due to its good resistance to dust and water, as well as its multilingual capability (3 languages). In short: if you are looking for a suitable AED for a sports club, business premises or shop, consider the DefiSign Life AED!
