Every year in New Zealand over 2,000 people are treated for a cardiac arrest that occurs in the community. Death from cardiac arrest is our 'silent toll'. It can happen to anyone of any age, including children. One of the most effective ways of protecting your guests and staff in such dire situations is equipping them with an automated external defibrillator (AED). An onsite AED can dramatically increase a victim’s chance of survival during a cardiac arrest. For every minute without defibrillation, a patient’s chance of survival falls by 10–15 percent.
However, many cardiac arrests occur at home, so having a home AED can save precious minutes in reviving a person with ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. Our AED devices ensure that every life is saved when seconds count!
