Baseball is one of the sports widely played in Japan and familiar to many people since childhood. However, occasionally the ball hits the chest and can cause dangerous arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation. The only way to treat ventricular fibrillation is defibrillation, and there is a general trend that for every minute that passes after ventricular fibrillation occurs, the life-saving rate decreases by 10%. Therefore, early first aid using an AED is extremely important; AEDs are easy for novice users to understand, and their regular availability at sporting events and other events allows for early response to unforeseen accidents.

We have been providing medical equipment for many years, and we will use our experience to help create a safer environment for everyday life by promoting the use of AEDs and other medical equipment that can be used by the general public.

The main features of the AED (Cardiac Rescue System)

1. easy operation

● Easy-to-understand voice and lamp guidance on how to use the AED and perform CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) (compliant with the latest Guidelines 2020), enabling use outdoors and in dark places.

Easy switching between preschooler mode and elementary school student to adult mode.

● Electrode pads can be used for both preschoolers and elementary school students to adults, and the battery-integrated pad cartridge system makes it easy to check the expiration date. 2.

2. easy inspection
