Text Box: ABCPR & FIRST AID 11865 RAMSDELL COURT SAN DIEGO, CA 92131 EMAIL: admin at abcpr.org Text Box: "The CR+ was found superior in overall intuitiveness and ease of use compared to Philips, Cardiac Science, MRL, Zoll." By Human Factors, Inc. Text Box: What NOT to have in an AED People hesitate to press the "shock" button. Since every second counts in Sudden Cardiac Arrest, we’ve removed it for you. Non medical professionals are intimated by multiple LCD screens and colored lights including EKG/ECG displays. Moreover, they do not know how to use them. Since you want your employees to be able to use an AED when its needed with as little distraction and fear as possible the CR+ does not have an ECG screen or battery LCD display. The AED power source is the most important component because without power there is no therapy. Unfortunately, it’s also the most mismanaged component. Only the CR+ has a dual battery system! Medtronic uses only the highest quality components. When people’s lives are at stake it’s not the time to bargain shop. Text Box: That’s it!

The LIFEPAK CR Plus is fully compatible with the ALS devices used by most major EMS systems. Because it has a much higher water resistance and penetration rating than the Philips OnSite AED, it can be used in more challenging environments. The CR+ also had the fastest time to shock"   By The Wellington School of Medicine.   Text Box: LIFEPAK CRPlus Text Box: Medtronic Emergency Response Systems pioneered defibrillation technology nearly 50 years ago, and is now the field's worldwide leader.
