Well-prepared crews to manage medical first response
TEMPE, Ariz. – Oct. 28, 2008 – All Cessna Citation owners, crew and passengers will receive access to an upgraded, life-saving MedAire medical kit, due to its recent partnership with MedAire Inc (www.MedAire.com).
Effective Dec. 1, Cessna, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, will offer specialty medical kits from MedAire, the leading U.S. manufacturer of aircraft medical kits for business and general aviation, either as standard equipment or as an option on Citation business jets.
A MedAire-manufactured Aircraft First Aid Kit will be placed on the Cessna XLS+ with the rest of the fleet adding the kit in 2009. When the kit medications expire, MedAire can refurbish each kit with current supplies.
Owners and crew will also have the opportunity to purchase additional medical offerings from MedAire:
“We feel confident that by integrating MedAire kits into its safety offerings, Cessna can rest assured that customers onboard their aircraft will be compliant and can intervene in a potentially life-threatening emergency, such as a heart attack or allergic shock,” said MedAire Founder and Chairman Joan Sullivan Garrett. “To depend only on an airport Emergency Response System to manage your medical event would not be advisable given that many airports do not have access to on-site advanced life support capabilities.”
