Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) kills over 30,000 people every year. The only effective immediate treatment is first aid training and access to a semi automated external defibrillator (SAED), pictured right. Australian Red Cross First aid Health & Safety Services (FHS) offers training in both first aid and the use of semi automated defibrillators to the community and corporate clients.

SCA can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime and with the chances of survival decreasing at 7-10% every minute until professional medical help arrives, access to a SAED is imperative.

The Medtronic Lifepak CR Plus is durable, reliable and simple to use device that provides voice prompts to efficiently guide the user throughout the procedure.

These cost efficient devices combined with quality training will increase the chances of survival from SCA to approximately 40% and have become an overall package in the OH&S services of some workplaces.
