Train Your Employees: Why Purchase an AED

When seconds count,
you can save a life

Demonstration of AED use in an office settingSudden cardiac arrest (SCA) can happen anytime, anywhere, to anyone.
  • It claims the lives of 220,000-250,000 people in this country every day.
When SCA strikes, seconds mean the difference between life and death.
  • With each minute of elapsed time, the survival rate diminishes by 10 percent.
Thanks to any easy-to-use, portable device called an automated external defibrillator (AED) and training from your American Red Cross, ordinary people can be lifesavers. By delivering an electric shock to the heart, an AED can restore a heart’s normal rhythm. Immediate use of an AED, in conjunction with CPR, can save a life.
