Call Pat Keller today to ask about ordering an AED and training your staff, family and community in its correct use.
The Powerheart AED G3 Plus is the flagship Cardiac Science AED (automated external defibrillator), complete with RescueCoach and CPR metronome to pace chest compressions.
Features
- Rescue Ready technology to self-check all main AED components (battery, hardware, software, and pads) daily. It completes a partial charge of the high-voltage electronics weekly, and a full charge monthly.
- RescueCoach and CPR metronome to pace chest compressions.
- Calculates electrical impedance and if a second shock is necessary, our proprietary STAR biphasic technology escalates the energy to deliver therapy at an appropriate, higher level.
- Warranty: A 7-year warranty on the AED.
- A 4-year full battery operational replacement guarantee.
Benefits
- Reliability. The AED is Rescue Ready when needed.
- Simplicity. Almost anyone can use the AED.
- Reassuring. The AED knows when to (and when not to) deliver the shock so users don't have to worry about "doing it right".
In a University of Pennsylvania simulated rescue study, the AED G3 Plus helped untrained adults deliver CPR of a quality similar to that of trained professionals.
- Comprehensive. The text screen is helpful in noisy and chaotic environments.

Participants must be at least 11 years of age to participate. The cost for the course is $35.00, which includes the American Red Cross Babysitter's Handbook with the new CD-ROM and Babysitter Portfolio. The revised course provides information and skills necessary to provide safe and responsible care for children in the absence of parents or guardians, using the proven learn and practice method of teaching. The training will help participants develop skills in six critical areas: Infant Child CPR, leadership, marketing, safety, child development from age 0-10 as well as emergency preparedness. Other components of this program include feeding, diapering and responding to choking and breathing emergencies. The new CD that comes with each participant's kit includes a resume builder with business card template; Red Cross trained babysitters have a professional skill to offer and the new course will help to show them how to market that. Also included are tools for babysitters to organize clients, activities and games to play with their children as well as crafts, and skills practice.
Health and Safety training increases volunteer and employment opportunities for all ages. Whether you work with children, want training for a new or existing job, are a professional rescuer or simply want to know how to help someone in an emergency, we can help you build the skills you need.
