Is my AED safe to touch? What if I accidentally shock someone or myself?

An AED will only deliver a shock if the electrode pads are applied to a patient, and the AED detects a shockable heart rhythm.

AEDSuperstore only sells FDA (Food and Drug Administration) cleared defibrillators. They are designed to avoid accidentally shocking yourself or someone else.
