Heartstation

HeartStation was the original company established to bring Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) into full public use. Our goal was to introduce a system that transferred units hidden from public view to a location readily available to save a life. Our system accomplishes this goal by providing a secure, easily identifiable cabinet. It has been designed to be an alerting system to summon additional rescuers to the aid of a victim, when the use of the AED is indicated. Its alerting system provides continual monitoring and signals both visually and audibly when the door is opened for a rescue attempt. Additionally, by placing the unit in constant public view, it reminds workers of its availability for rescue when tragedy strikes. Inspection of the AED can be made more frequently because the unit is in plain view at eye level. Also, the AED’s audible warning tone can be clearly heard outside of the case further allowing a quicker recognition for inspection by authorized individuals.
