OUR ROOTS
The headlines are breathtaking:
Two quick-thinking teachers save 12-year-old student’s life
Ocer saves life of fellow ocer during anything-but-routine patrol
Fitness center workers save new mother’s life
The common thread in these real-life stories? Rescuers used a
Powerheart® automated external debrillator (AED) with its green
Rescue Ready® indicator that let these customers know that their
device was ready for a cardiac emergency.
Welcome to Cardiac Science, a company founded in 1991 and
recognized globally as a leader in developing AED technology, as
evidenced by more than 100 patents to our name. We are based in
the United States – yet with over 500,000 AEDs deployed globally,
our presence is felt worldwide. Our singular purpose is to be the
company that helps rst responders increase sudden cardiac arrest
(SCA) survival.
Should you ever need to deploy your AED, feel condent knowing that
the technology inside your AED is built on a legacy of industry rsts.
