Are AEDs safe to use on anyone?
Yes, AEDs are safe to use on anyone. Children under age 8 and 55 lbs do require special pediatric electrode pads or a special AED accessory to “dial down” the power to levels appropriate to their size. An AED will not shock unless it detects a shockable heart rhythm (Ventricular Fibrillation or Ventricular Tachycardia).
