We are very excited to be given the opportunity to have the rights to distribute the Mindray Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) as this definitely aligns with our passion around saving lives. All Mindray AED’s conform with the Australian Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2016.
Every year in Australia approximately 30 000 people suffer a sudden cardiac arrest away from a hospital. A sudden cardiac arrest can happen anywhere, anytime; in a hotel, at a sporting event, at the beach, at work, in a shopping centre, at the airport or at home. In Australia, the overall survival rate from a cardiac arrest is 9-10%. The time to defibrillation is a key factor that influences survival. For every minute defibrillation is delayed, there is approximately 10% reduction in survival if the patient is in cardiac arrest due to ‘shockable’ rhythms.
The development of easy to operate AEDs has led to defibrillation being included in basic life support teaching. AEDs can accurately identify the cardiac rhythm as ‘shockable’ or ‘non-shockable’ and provide verbal and visual prompts of the next steps. SOS-Switched Onto Safety believe it is feasible to target a survival rate of 50% or above, which translates into some 12 000 or more Australian lives saved every year with our Heart Safe Environment program. This represents 12 000 devastating personal tragedies we can avoid and significant social and economic savings. See further details below regarding our AED Trade In offer.
We need your help, to help us create more Heart Safe Environments across Australia. For the cost of a ‘coffee a day’ or ‘monthly mobile plan’ your organisation too can be a part of this Heart Safe Environment program. That way AED’s will be in more places allowing anyone and everyone to simply, safely and effectively help someone save a life.
