BAE Systems Purchases Cardiac Science AEDs and Training for Its
U.S. Facilities
IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cardiac Science, Inc.
(NASDAQ:DFIB), a leading manufacturer of life-saving automatic public-access
defibrillators (AEDs), today announced that Rockville, MD-based BAE Systems,
one of America's foremost national security, aerospace and information systems
companies, has purchased Powerheart(R) G3 AEDs for 37 of its facilities
nationwide. In addition, BAE Systems has procured the associated AED/CPR
training and program management for approximately 500 of its employees.
BAE Systems Technology Solutions, a sector of BAE Systems North America, plans
to outfit administrative, research and industrial locations with the devices,
protecting more than 6,000 employees within their U.S. operations.
Robert Murphy, president, BAE Systems Technology Solutions, said that the
decision to deploy AEDs and train personnel makes perfect sense when you
balance the minimal cost against the protection they provide.
"We recognized the immeasurable value of installing defibrillators first hand
this year when one of our colleagues was saved in a facility that happened to
have an AED available and where coworkers had been trained in its use," said
Murphy. "Our employees are our most valued asset and we intend to do
everything we can to protect them in the workplace. Easily accessible
defibrillators, such as the Powerheart G3, have been shown to dramatically
increase cardiac arrest survival rates and we believe that this fact alone
justifies our investment many times over."
Raymond W. Cohen, Chairman and CEO of Cardiac Science, commented on the
partnership by stating, "Company-wide deployments are becoming more commonplace
as AED protection becomes part of the mindset in corporate settings both in the
U.S. and abroad. It is rewarding to see more and more executives at top
organizations making this commitment to employee safety and corporate risk
management."
