How Are Defibrillators Calibrated?
When a cardiac emergency occurs, a defibrillator must perform exactly as intended. These life-saving devices are designed to deliver a controlled electrical shock that can help restore a normal heart rhythm. Because patient safety depends on accurate performance, regular calibration and testing are essential parts of maintaining defibrillator reliability.
Healthcare facilities, emergency response organizations, and medical equipment providers rely on routine calibration to verify that their defibrillators continue to operate within manufacturer specifications. At Transcat, our ISO-accredited calibration laboratories provide calibration services for a wide range of medical equipment, including defibrillators, helping ensure these critical devices remain ready for use when needed most.
