Method and article for packaging an automatic external defibrillator for use without a prescription

摘要

A method and article for packaging an automatic external defibrillator for use without a prescription are described. The OTC AED is encased in a rigid polymeric disclosure which is a distinctive color or set of colors to enable the OTC AED to be readily distinguished in the home environment. The defibrillator is packaged in a box with multicolored depictions of the defibrillator on multiple sides of the box, which enable the distinctive coloring of the defibrillator to be readily identified by the exterior of the packaging. The packaging may also include indication of use for the OTC AED and considerations useful to a layperson purchaser when deciding whether to acquire an OTC AED.
