The Application of Reed Relays in Defibrillators for Cardiac Treatment
Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) are portable medical devices used to diagnose specific cardiac arrhythmias and deliver electric shocks to the heart to restore its normal rhythm. They are intended for use by non-professionals in the event of cardiac arrest. AEDs are typically placed in locations where people gather, such as airports, bus stations, office buildings, and homes. These portable defibrillators are battery-powered, and therefore, the electronic devices used to run the charging circuitry must have low power consumption and be constructed with highly reliable components. MiRelay high-voltage reed relays have been directly applied to the high-voltage charging circuitry of AEDs, as they provide a low-power consumption and high reliability solution.
