You may wonder why when you visit your childs school or college you see a cabinet thats says AED or Defibrillator in the hallways. the answer is Many schools have purchased or had an aed machine or also know as a portable defibrillator installed because sudden cardiac arrest does not just victimize the elderly or the obese, Many thought to be healthy student athletes, students or staff have suffered SCA ( sudden Cardiac Arrest ) and if an aed was present their chance of survival would have been greatly increased. Studies have shown that the average EMS response time 12 minutes which does not sound long but every minute that passes without delivering a shock by a defibrillator your chance of survival decreases by nearly 10% so by putting that in perspective an aed is a simple choice.
one the most popular aeds for a school or business is the philps onsite or the Philips Heartstart FRX, both are great aeds and are very easy to use, Both aeds us the same Heartstart battery M5070A but use different philips AED Pads. the Onsite uses the M5071A and the Frx uses the 989803139261. The battery has a shelf life of years and a typical year installed life and the Philips Aed pads will have an experation date generally of two years.
Aeds are not just for businesses or schools there are many clients that purchase an aed for themselves or a loved one with a heart condition because the small price you pay could be the difference between life and death.
