Our Defibrillators are fully automatic. They provide audio and visual real time CPR help (by analysing and guiding rate and depth of CPR i.e. if the compressions are good it will say so or advise if you are need to press down harder). It analyses the heart beat and automatically provides a shock if necessary (advising you to not touch the patient at this point).
