AED Defibrillator: What It Is & Why Every Location Should Have One

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) can happen anywhere, anytime—even in seemingly healthy individuals. That’s why having an AED defibrillator nearby can be the difference between life and death. In Malaysia, awareness is growing, but access remains limited in many public and private spaces.

SECOM aims to close this gap by offering life-saving AED solutions suitable for offices, schools, gyms, and even homes—because when every second counts, you need more than just good intentions.

What Is an AED Defibrillator?

An AED defibrillator, or Automated External Defibrillator, is a portable medical device designed to treat sudden cardiac arrest by delivering an electric shock to restore normal heart rhythm. Unlike manual defibrillators used by medical professionals, AEDs are designed for use by laypersons—with audio prompts and visual instructions guiding the user through the process.

In approximately 40 words:
An AED defibrillator is a portable device that delivers an electric shock to restart the heart during sudden cardiac arrest. It’s simple to use, with built-in voice instructions, making it vital for public spaces and workplace safety.

Who Should Have Access to AED Defibrillator?

Cardiac arrest doesn’t discriminate by age, fitness level, or location. That’s why AEDs should be available in:

  • Offices and corporate buildings
  • Educational institutions
  • Shopping malls and hotels
  • Gyms and recreational centres
  • Residential buildings or gated communities

Installing an AED is part of being prepared—not just for compliance, but to potentially save a colleague, customer, or loved one.
