Despite what happens in movies, defibrillators are used to stop arrhythmia and don’t jump start hearts back up. Arhythmia is when the timing/pace is out of sync, which is also known as timing retardation. Although we usually use that term for engines, it’s essentially the exact same thing.

A defib would actually be the Hearty Less Retardy.
Edit: And if that offends you, sorry. But it’s literally accurate.
Instead of pedant maybe we can say (and I don’t actually mean this as an insult)… picky pricky?
bitey taster?
Maybe… Hearty Re-Starty?
Ticker Re-jigger?
Pumper Bumper?
