Layered, easy-to-follow design for the minimally trained first responder!
Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in New Zealand and can happen to anyone, anywhere at anytime. Immediate treatment is vital and for every minute defibrillation is delayed, the patient’s chance of survival reduces by approximately 10%.1 Tragically, currently only 11% of people survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.2
For a minimally trained responder, intervening in an emergency can be intimidating. The LIFEPAK CR2 Automated External Defibrillator (AED) USB Essential is designed for user confidence, enabling even a minimally trained responder to help save a life.
