AED
Programs & Equipments
AEDs are devices about the size of a laptop that
deliver an electric shock to the heart to restore
a normal heart rhythm. They are small, portable,
battery operated machines and with proper training,
very simple to use. The "smart technology"
makes the AED easy to use for individuals without
any medical training. The device will deliver a
shock only to those victims that will benefit from
this treatment.
According to the American Heart Association, sudden
cardiac arrest (SCA) claims the life of 240,000
Americans each year. Approximately ninety-five percent
of those who suffer this condition outside a hospital
do not survive because AEDs are still not widely
available in many public places. With greater access
to public defibrillation programs, the American
Heart Association estimates that around 50,000 lives
could be saved each year. Lifesavers is a licensed
distributor for several major AED manufacturers.
Our affiliations with various companies gives us
access to the most up-to-date AEDs with the latest

AED consultation
After purchase, we continue to be a valuable resource
for your AED program with our AED consultation.
We assist you in setting up your AED program, so
that you are in accordance with legal guidelines
and laws. We can provide professional guidance as
to the number of AEDs appropriate for your facility,
brands, site placement and capabilities. We also
aid in setting up a maintenance program so that
the AED is always fully operational and ready to
be used in event of emergency. Our AED training
will help your staff know how to operate the AED,
incorporate CPR delivery and the use of the AED
and much more. Candidates practise with AED trainers,
which are safe, training devices that behave just
like an AED but dont actually deliver an electric
shock.
