following cardiac arrest reduces a
person's chance of survival by 14 per
cent hence so many organisations
have invested in Automated External
Defibrillators (AEDs).
However work carried out by
JPen Medical has revealed that even
though many AEDs would pass a
self-test, around 10% of them would
still fail a 'live test' carried out by a
qualified engineer. Medical
professionals get their AEDs live
tested every 12 months, a service,
JPen Medical is now offering to nonmedical
AED operators.
For a charge of £39.95 + VAT, a
JPen Medical's qualified engineers
will carry out an on site detailed live
testing schedule.
