AED Now! Specializing in
Automated External DefibrillatorsAED Now! is dedicated to
saving lives through the use of Automated External Defibrillators, or AEDs. The shock delivered by an AED is the only mechanical
way for a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) victim to survive. And to be effective that first shock should be delivered within the
first 3-5 minutes.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest is a leading cause of death in the United States, claiming an estimated
325,000 lives each year. During a sudden cardiac arrest, heart function ceases -- abruptly and without warning. When this
occurs, the heart is no longer able to pump blood to the rest of the body, and in some 95% of victims, death occurs.
While Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a significant public health crisis, it is often misunderstood. SCA is not a heart attack.
Most deaths from SCA occur with little or no warning. The most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest is a disturbance in the
heart rhythm called ventricular fibrillation.
Once a cardiac arrest occurs, high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR) and defibrillation is required within the first several minutes to restore electrical activity to the heart and revive
the heart's pumping function.
Availability of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) is critical for rapid response
to cardiac arrest.
AEDs are used by first response professionals like Police, Fire and EMS. The AED is standard
equipment for these professionals. For schools, offices, stores, gyms, and public spaces an AED is becoming as vital as the
fire extinguisher.
At AED Now!, we offer 4 of the top brands of AEDs. Once you learn about the challenges of surviving
Sudden Cardiac Arrest and the ultimate need for an AED, we think that by offering you a choice, we can help you select the
AED that best suits your needs.
We are also proud to announce that we are a distributor of OxySure. The
OxySure® Model 615 is a portable emergency oxygen device. Most people equate oxygen with bulky tanks, valves, regulators
and required maintenance and prescriptions. This product, made by OxySure, has none of this. OxySure creates medically pure
oxygen from two dry, inert proprietary powders. With this technology, oxygen is generated on demand. There is no storage of
oxygen. There are no tanks, no valves, no regulatory maintenance, no hydrostatic testing, no batteries, no required training,
and no environmental hazards. The
OxySure® Model 615 is approved by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for over the counter sale, without the need for a prescription. This bridges the gap between the onset of a
medical emergency and the time that the first responders get on the scene. The
OxySure® Model 615 is like the oxygen equivalent of a fire extinguisher - it provides a safety net in the event of a medical
emergency. It can be placed next to AEDs or anywhere safety equipment is kept. Click here for OxySure Video.
