MedAire is the leading resource for equipping airlines with automated external defibrillators (AEDs).

All statistics show that the more remote the situation, the more critical the need for an AED. The chances of survival for a person suffering ventricular fibrillation are virtually zero, unless they receive a shock from an AED within 10 minutes of fibrillation.

For every minute that goes by after fibrillation, the chances of survival drops by 10 percent. So, if the cardiac event happens onboard an aircraft, a ship or out on a mountaintop, a person’s only chance for survival is an AED, and someone who knows how to use it, being close at hand.

But there’s more to an AED than just the box.

In fact, it is a prescriptive device, requiring a qualified physician’s prescription in order to be purchased. Plus there needs to be medical control over the equipment’s use as well. In working with MedAire, all of these requirements are automatically taken care for customers. And rather than just a product orientation, MedAire provides clients with full AED training and complete quality assurance services.
