"We are confident airlines and flight crews will value our easy-to-use Powerheart AED," Cardiac Science Chief Executive Officer Dave Marver said.

"Our RescueCoach voice prompts and fully automatic operation allow rescuers to respond effectively in even the most stressful situations," Marver added.

Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are medical devices that diagnose life-threatening abnormal heart rhythms, or cardiac arrhythmia, and deliver electrical energy to the heart to restore its normal rhythm.

Commenting on the development Innovint Chief Executive Officer Manfred Groening said: "We wanted a company that provides products that exceed the rigorous standards common in the aerospace industry for emergency equipment."

"Cardiac Science was our first choice because of their extensive self-tests and their ability to deliver a globally standardised product and service in over 100 countries," he added.

According to its latest Global Market Forecast, Airbus foresees that by 2030 some 26,900 passenger aircraft (above 100 seats) would be required to satisfy future market demand.

"Leveraging its presence in the Airbus catalog, Cardiac Science now has an opportunity to outfit each new plane with a Powerheart AED," Opto Circuits said.

Shares of Opto Circuits (India) today closed at Rs 246.75 on the BSE, up 1.84% from the previous close.
