Defibtech was founded by Dr. Laub and a fellow Yale graduate, President Gintaras Vaisnys in 2002 with seed money from private investors. Their corporate structure merges innovation with efficiency.
When Defibtech was introduced it revolutionized the AED marketplace. The device had many features better than other AEDs and sold for half the cost. At that time AEDs were selling for $3,000-$4,000 and Defibtech was selling for $1,500.
They market their product through distribution partners and have reached Number 1 ranking in the Connecticut Technology Fast 50.To become elegible for that honor they had to qualify with an operating revenue of $50,000 in 2002 and $5,000,000 in 2006.Their headquarters had to be located in North America and be a company that owned propietary technology or intellectual property that contributed significantly to the companies’ revenues or spent a large portion of revenues on research and technology.
Their mission is to make the best Automated external defibrillators in the world at affordable prices.
To advance that fast in so little time I’d say they’re amazing.Wouldn’t you?
What does security cost? Do you feel safe knowing your genetic background holds heart problems? Your cholesterol is high,you’re overweight ,have high blood pressure,a smoker,a couch potato,diabetic,or prone to thrombophlebitis(inflammation of veins with clot formation).
You could arrest anywhere, anytime. What can you do? Your life is in your hands. Get that cholesterol,sugar,and blood pressure under control. Exercise a little. Elevate those legs, get help from ypur physician before you start to fall apart. Your family needs you. Prevention is what you owe yourself and them.
A defibrillator costs $2-3,000. It saves lives. It is more important than a car or a house. If you need one and can’t get one you might not need one anymore. Was it worth scimping on your life? Think about it.
Check out Philips Heartstart,Defibtech Lifeline,or ZollPro or Plus defibrillators for price,and suitability for you and your family. You will really feel secure that you are doing everything in your power to protect yourself.Its a wonderful relief to get rid of worry.
Today I want to pay homage to those special rescuers of sudden cardiac arrest(SCA) victims. You came upon frightening situations, pushed past your fear, and aided a stranger,friend or family member with life saving proceedures of cardio-pulmonary resuscitation and/or cardiac defibrillation. Even if your attempt failed it was not your fault. You did what another could not. YOU TRIED! God bless you for that.
Not everyone can be a hero. Some of us become frozen when faced with such a scary situation and regret and guilt will always be with us for what might have been a different conclusion. Were we cowards? Maybe and maybe not. Maybe it was meant to be. Only God knows and only He should judge us.
This is for those who stepped up in time of need. The unsung heroes who tried to make a difference to our fellow man,woman, or child. God Bless you. Your treasure is in heaven and it will be overwhelming.
Referee Harry Voigt said he didn’t feel well after a game of baseball in Maple Grove, Minnesota. He drove off. Parents Tim Kuebelbeck and Brad Frane saw Voigt’s car crash into a median. On reaching the vehicle they found Voigt unresponsive and not breathing. Mr. Kuebelbeck started mouth to mouth.He later said he didn’t know what he was doing, he just did it.
Frane thought the school might have a defibrillator..it did a Defibtech AED, but they didn’t know how to use it. They agreed shocking seemed the thing to try. They laid him on the street and put on the pads. Then they turned on the device and found the device talking them through the proceedure before giving a life-saving shock. It started Voigt’s heart. He survived his ordeal and it is possible that these 2 heroes and the Defibteh Lifeline AED they used gave Mr. Voigt a second chance. The men say it was blind luck but do we really believe that?
The amount of people attending religious services deserve a safe environment and a safe device to protect them from the unexpected. A Mr Keith White attended a celebratory 60th anniversary dinner for his parrish. He was suddenly struct down by a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Fellow guests responded with a Defibtech AED, given to the church by an annonymous donor ten days before. The reversal of the event was indeed a miracle. A blessed donor and a blessed outcome.
Affordability of these expensive devices is closer to the layman’s pocketbook than ever before. Every event with large groups attending should have a defibrillator nearby.
70% of SCA victims defibrillated within a minute or two after an arrest survive. If defibrillated after 10 minutes only 5% survive. Defibrillators give you a second Chance.
