Swift action in the workplace can save a life

The Lifeline Automated External Defibrillator

Why should you buy it? With 13% of all deaths in the workplace attributed to sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), a product that delivers on the spot treatment has to be welcome. The Automated External Defribillator (AED) claims to do just that. A SCA is caused by an electrical fault in the heart and the best way to deal with the condition is to deliver an electric shock to the heart. Chances of survival increase vastly if treatment is administered within three minutes. Estimates indicate that 70% of all deaths could be prevented by this swift treatment. The AED, distributed by Martek Medical, has been designed for use by anyone, with clear visual instructions. It has the added advantage of being compact and easy to store.

What does it cost? £998.00
