At NKM, we understand the significance of this life-saving tool and offer comprehensive services for the supply and installation of defibrillators in various workplaces and public settings. AEDs work by scanning the heart to determine whether a shock is needed and, if necessary, they deliver a shock automatically to help the heart return to its normal rhythm. In a medical emergency like sudden cardiac arrest, every minute counts, making it imperative for workplaces and public areas to have accessible and well-maintained defibrillators. NKM is committed to ensuring the longevity and reliability of the AEDs we supply. We offer a robust maintenance program that includes regular inspections, review of rescue kit, replacement of consumable parts such as pads and batteries.
