Do I need a prescription to purchase an AED?

You will most likely need a prescription to purchase an AED.

All AEDs are regulated by the FDA, and most AEDs require a prescription to purchase. AEDSuperstore provides the prescription at no charge with the purchase of any AED unit that requires a prescription. No action is needed on your part! 

Some AEDs, such as the Philips Heartstart OnSite AED and the HeartSine Samaritan 350P AED are labeled by the FDA as over-the-counter or home-use AEDs, which do not require a prescription. AEDSuperstore offers both of these AEDs for purchase online as well.

If you’re uncertain about the details of an AED prescription, we encourage you to reach out via phone or chat to learn more.
