FRED easy, Power for Life!

Posted in SCHILLER International by Mat Packer.

FREDeasyport_Engl.jpgThe clinic for cardiology of the Zurich University Hospital launched the project ‘Power for Life’ in May together with partners. 13 telephone booths on the famous Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich were equipped with SCHILLER FRED easy defibrillators.

In addition to a SCHILLER FRED easy type defibrillator, the resuscitation boxes installed contain an integrated GSM unit. When the first-aid box is removed, the emergency number 144 is dialled automatically, connecting the first aider directly to the Zurich rescue service via a mobile handsfree telephone. In this way, the dispatcher can help the non-professional rescuer on the phone until the paramedics arrive and take over.

More information about the FRED easy defibrillator can be found here.
