The most recent TechNation Webinar Wednesday presentation provided expert knowledge on Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) from the team at webinar sponsor Fluke Biomedical. The webinar proved popular among HTM professionals setting a new all-time attendance record.
“AEDs: What You Need to Know – FDA updates, Best Practices, and more” was presented by Ashton Solecki, Fluke Biomedical Product Marketing Manager. She said the FDA has increased their scrutiny of AEDs due to increased high failure rate. She shared her insights into one of the most highly regulated medical devices in the industry.
The webinar also stressed the importance of testing AEDs, reviewed global testing standards, and highlighted upcoming FDA changes impacting AEDs. Solecki discussed best practices for testing AEDs to ensure their safety and proper performance.
The webinar concluded with an informative Q&A session with several questions from attendees. Solecki was joined during the Q&A by John Shirlock who told her: “I helped build the first defibrillator tester when I worked for BioTech. It was partially made out of wood.” The duo answered questions live and responded to several more via email.
The presentation was a hit before it even started with a record 1,035 people registered to attend. The record for the number of attendees also fell with 576 people joining the live webinar. Solecki impressed attendees with her knowledge and earned a 4.2 rating on a 5-point scale with 5 being the best possible score.
In post-webinar surveys, attendees applauded the presenter, the sponsor and the webinar series.
