Whether its victims are young or old, at the office, exercising or just walking down the street, sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) knows no boundaries. But no matter where or when it strikes, early use of a defibrillator can help save lives.

With that in mind, Board24 Coalville have purchased a LIFEPAK CR® Plus Defibrillator, which is simple to use, simple to manage, simple to transfer care to professionals and effective in saving the life of a victim of sudden cardiac arrest.

Featuring the same advanced technology trusted by emergency medical professionals – yet simple to use – the LIFEPAK CR Plus automated external defibrillator (AED) is designed specifically for the first person to respond to a victim of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Unlike AEDs with complex prompts and limited energy for defibrillation, the fully automatic LIFEPAK CR Plus AED combines an easy two-step operation, just the right level of guidance, and the capability to escalate to 360 joules when needed.

The defibrillator is also compatible with all East Midlands Ambulance Service equipment to allow data to be transferred from the device to establish what treatment has been given prior to professional medical assistance.

Board24 Coalville is also a registered site that holds such equipment to enable other local businesses to use the device in time of emergency should there be a delay in the arrival of the emergency services.
