Automated External Defibrillators Save Lives!
The American Red Cross, a national leader in training responders to use Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), is actively involved in increasing public awareness and helping organizations and individuals implement AED programs.
The Connecticut Chapter of the American Red Cross has agreements with Philips Medical Systems, ZOLL Medical and Cardiac Science which allow us to facilitate the purchase of AEDs. For more information on the Philips Heartstart FRx or On-Site AEDs, ZOLL Medical's AED Plus unit or Cardiac Science's POWERHEART G3 Plus AED or to arrange for a live demonstration of the units, please contact the Chapter's Senior Director, Corporate Programs, Joe Kuzma, at (860) 678-2826 or email him at Joe.Kuzma@CTRedcross.org.

Some Information on AEDs Available Through the Red Cross:
Cardiac Science POWERHEART AED G3 Plus (Click Here for Demo)
Cardiac Science's flagship automated external defibrillator, complete with RescueCoach and CPR metronome to pace chest compressions.
Philips Medical HeartStart OnSite AED (Click Here for Demo)
The Heartstart Defibrillator was designed for the ordinary person in the extraordinary moment. Weighing just 3.3 pounds, this small and lightweight defibrillator can be easily carried to the patient's side. Using clear, natural voice instructions, the Heartstart Defibrillator guides you, the first caregiver on the scene, through each step of defibrillation and CPR.
Philips Medical HeartStart FRx AED (Click Here For Demo)
The HeartStart FRx Defibrillator is designed to be easy to use, rugged and reliable for those who get there first. On the scene with law enforcement, on the field with student athletes, or on the job employees, the FRx Defibrillator treats sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) from ventricular fibrillation in environments and conditions too demanding for many other defibrillators.
ZOLL AED Plus (Click Here for Demo)
ZOLL's AED Plus is the only AED that can see your chest compressions and guide you to the correct rate and depth during CPR. No other AED provides Real CPR Help.
