Health Canada Approved AEDs for Canadian Homes, Condos & Residential Safety

Why is a Personal Philips or ZOLL AED Program a Smart Investment for Canadian Family Safety?

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a tragically common event, with the vast majority of incidents occurring in the home. For Canadians concerned about family history, elderly relatives, or simply maximizing preparedness in areas where EMS response times can be lengthy, a personal, Health Canada Approved Automated External Defibrillator (AED) from Philips or ZOLL is the ultimate life-saving tool. Having an AED immediately accessible eliminates the critical five to ten minutes lost waiting for first responders, drastically increasing the survival rate for a loved one.
