Power capacitors gain new opportunities due to the development of automated external defibrillators (AEDs)

In medical electronics, automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are widely used.

AED is an emergency device that can automatically identify abnormal heart rhythms and give electric shocks for defibrillation. The success rate of rescuing cardiac arrest patients is much higher than that of manual CPR. Because of its simple operation and built-in voice prompts, it is convenient for non-professionals to use, and AED is also known as a “life-saving artifact”. The “Healthy China Action (2019-2030)” issued in July last year clearly stated: “Improve the standards for first-aid facilities and equipment in public places, and ensure that in schools, institutions, enterprises and institutions, as well as airports, stations, port passenger terminals, large shopping malls, cinemas Equipped with emergency medicines, equipment and facilities, and automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in crowded places such as the Applet for AED locations. These reflect the enhancement of public first-aid awareness and the improvement of the first-aid system, reflecting the high concern of the whole society for life safety.

There is a real necessity to promote AED. According to the “China Cardiovascular Disease Report 2018” released by the National Cardiovascular Disease Center, it is estimated that 544,000 cases of sudden cardiac death occur in my country every year. At present, the penetration rate of AEDs in my country is still very low. The media survey found that the public’s awareness of AEDs is not high, and the situation that they do not use or dare not use it is common. Insufficient equipment configuration, low popularity of first aid knowledge, and concerns of rescuers are all obstacles to the promotion of AED.

According to reports, the relevant departments are promoting the popularization of AEDs into the law, and various localities are also taking active actions. For example, Shenzhen has issued the “Shenzhen “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” AED Configuration and Use Implementation Plan”, and the relevant person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Health Commission stated that in the future, every subway station in Beijing will be equipped with AEDs.

In response to the successive introduction of relevant laws and regulations, we infer that the automated external defibrillator (AED) market will show explosive growth.

At present, the main defibrillators are divided into automatic external defibrillator (AED) and manual defibrillator, both types of defibrillators can use our products. TDK Electronics’ power capacitors are particularly suitable for use in automated external defibrillators (AEDs) due to their excellent stability and reliability. And many well-known brands have adopted TDK Electronics’ power capacitors in large quantities.
