Follow on Google News | ![]() AED Manufacturers Featured in Unique Format at Annual HSI ConferenceRepresentatives from five major automated external defibrillator (AED) manufacturers will make the case for their products in a one-of-kind forum at the 2010 HSI International Conference in Phoenix, AZ.
By: Michelle Morrison-Geschke “We are excited to bring our customers and partners together using this fun and informative format,” says Bill Clendenen, CEO of HSI. “Our Instructors ask us for guidance and advice on AEDs, just as their own students and customers ask for recommendations on these life-saving devices. This year, we offer an unprecedented opportunity to hear directly from the majority of major AED manufacturers as they compare product features and benefits in a face-to-face setting.” At the end of the timed presentations, the audience will vote for the AED manufacturer that “cooked” the best demonstration in using the secret ingredients. The Iron Chef AED will be revealed on Tuesday, April 13. “AEDs have proven to significantly increase the survivability following sudden cardiac arrest,” says Dr. Benjamin Abella, Clinical Research Director of the Center for Resuscitation Science at the University of Pennsylvania, who served as Chairman for the Iron Chef AED event. “This represents an innovative, exciting way to inform Instructors and Training Center Directors, who influence others on emergency care training, about the benefits associated with automated external defibrillators.” # # # Eugene, Oregon-based Health & Safety Institute (HSI), the largest privately held emergency care and response training organization in the world, joins together American Safety & Health Institute (ASHI), MEDIC First Aid, 24-7 EMS, 24-7 Fire, EMP Canada, and First Safety Institute. Through more than 16,000 training centers and 200,000 professional emergency care, safety and health educators in the United States, Canada, and many countries around the globe, HSI companies have certified more than 13 million emergency care providers. HSI's vision is to be the preferred training resource for safety and health training centers. End
