How old can you be to use an automated external defibrillator?

11: In twenty minutes they taught a sixth grade class to do it. Once you turn it on, it talks to you and tells you what to do next.

Old enough --: The use of AED is always in emergency as a matter of life and death correct? So remember first to call 911, then anybody who is old enough to act responsibly and with basic knowledge on the use of AED (it is self -instructed for the most part after it's turned on) can use AED and probably be a life saver! if you are the only witness to cardiac arrest.
