The American Heart Association (AHA) states that 250,000 Americans die each year from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), 7000 are children.

The AHA recommends that defibrillation needs to occur within 3-5 minutes or sooner after Sudden Cardiac Arrest occurs. The EMS teams, on average, can take anywhere from 6-12 minutes to arrive on the scene.

Although the survival rate is only 5-10% studies show that survival rate raises 74% each time defibrillation is given within 3 minutes.

For a cardiac arrest victim early CPR can help but an electric shock is needed to solve the problem. The victim has a greater chance of survival the sooner the shock is administered and their chance of survival reduces by 10 percent each minute defibrillation is delayed.

13% of workplace fatalities are from sudden cardiac arrest.

The American Heart Association estimates that 20,000 to 100,000 Sudden Cardiac Arrest deaths could be prevented if defibrillation was readily available.

34% of the people who have implemented a defibrillation program have used their AED at least one time to save a life
