European Resuscitation Council said a defibrillating shock administered within one minute after cardiac arrest increases the chance of survival to 90 %.
Cardiac Science and MC Infortecnica worked together to win the Girona contract, a decision made with input from the Brugada Foundation, the University of Girona Faculty of Medicine and the Emergency Medical System of Catalonia.
Dipsalut, the Public Health organization of the Girona Council also ordered 500 ‘intelligent’ AED cabinets.
When a cabinet is opened to access an AED, a signal is automatically sent to alert the local emergency medical response team.
Cardiac Science CEO Dave Marver said they are pleased to partner with Dipsalut in providing AEDs that will protect the Girona community.
