Launched October 16, 2024, Heartbeat Guardian is AED Team’s initiative giving back to local communities, and celebrating the participants in the chain of survival and survivors of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
Did your community have a SCA save utilizing CPR and the shock of an AED retrieved from an outdoor enclosure purchased from AED Team? If yes, it may qualify for Heartbeat Guardian recognition!
Through Heartbeat Guardian, AED Team will donate an AED enclosure to the community where the AED was deployed, and publicly celebrate the members of the chain of survival – survivor, rescuers, and local emergency teams if they wish to participate. We will also assist the community in procuring a free or subsidized AED for the enclosure.
From October 16, 2024 – December 31, 2024, Heartbeat Guardian is open for any SCA saves that utilized a shock from an AED retrieved from a CE-TEK 4000 enclosure purchased from AED Team. After Jan 1, 2025, saves must be reported within three months of the incident via the below application form.
We are so excited to honor and celebrate our champion communities, survivors, and those who made a difference when it counted! AED Team is a nurse owned company dedicated to the mission of making lifesaving equipment for everyday superheroes readily available in all public spaces.
To qualify for Heartbeat Guardian from AED Team:
- A documented cardiac arrest occurred
- An AED was retrieved from a CE-TEK 4000 enclosure purchased from AED Team
- At least one shock delivered from that AED
- SCA victim had meaningful survival (ability to rejoin their life after hospitalization)
After receipt of application, our team will review and get back to you within 10 business days to discuss qualification and next steps. We are so excited to honor and celebrate our champion communities, survivors, and those who made a difference when it counted!
