🚨 Did You Know? 🚨
Contrary to popular belief, defibrillator cabinets do not power or recharge the defibrillator inside! They’re designed to protect the device, not supply it with energy.
Defibrillators rely on lithium batteries that need replacing every few years to stay rescue-ready🪫💓
🔋 Cabinet Power Explained: The cabinet’s power supply is there to heat the cabinet, keeping your defibrillator safe and functioning in cold conditions.

⚡ What to Do if a Defibrillator Says ‘No Shock Advised’? ⚡
If a defibrillator states "no shock advised," it doesn’t mean the person is out of danger. It means their heart rhythm doesn’t need a shock, but CPR is still critical! 💪
🛑 Here’s what you should do next:
1️⃣ Continue CPR to keep the blood flowing.
2️⃣ Look for signs of life like breathing or movement.
3️⃣ Follow the defibrillator's voice prompts—they will guide you through the process.
Every second counts in a cardiac arrest. Even if the defibrillator says no shock is needed, your actions can still save a life!
