To effectively deploy and maintain AEDs across an organization, the choice is a Heart Safe Solution from Physio-Control.
Having AEDs close at hand is only the beginning of a truly effective lifesaving solution for Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). The right AED program for your workplace or community organization helps you ensure that your defibrillators are in the right place, and in operational condition. It helps you ensure your staff knows what to look for in the event of SCA, and how to respond. And it ensures that your organization has an ally as you navigate the regulations that come with a large scale AED deployment. Although not everyone can be saved from SCA, studies show that early defibrillation can dramatically improve survival rates.
With Heart Safe Solutions from Physio-Control, you get a comprehensive outsourced AED implementation and management program, custom-designed for the way your organization works. You also get an advantage you won’t find with any other program: the people of Physio-Control.
