Cardiac Science, a provider in automated external defibrillator (AED) and diagnostic cardiac monitoring devices, has been awarded a contract to deploy Powerheart AEDs in all Tyco Flow Control facilities globally, a $3.4bn division of Tyco International.
The first phase of the rollout, planned for the first quarter of 2011, will equip Tyco’s Australian, Pacific, and North and South American facilities.
Tyco Flow Control Environmental Health and Safety director Ralf Schnorringer said they wanted a fully automatic defibrillator that did not require the user to push a button for shock delivery and an AED that customizes the energy level for each patient.
"Cardiac Science‘s ability to deliver a globally standardized product and AED program management throughout the world made them our first choice for the ‘Save a Life’ initiative at Tyco Flow Control," Schnorringer said.
