RICHMOND, MA –Zogics, manufacturers of pre-moistened gym wipes and hand sanitizers, now offers Philips automatic external defibrillators (AED) to the health and fitness market. Philips is the worldwide leader in portable defibrillation technology and its HeartStart OnSite AED is regarded as the easiest-to-use and most reliable defibrillator available. “Zogics is widely known as a leading supplier of products that help keep gym members safe” said Zogics owner, Paul LeBlanc. “Adding life saving AEDs from Phillips to our lineup allows us to better serve our customers at a time when AEDs in health clubs are not only expected, but required by law in a growing numbers of states.”
Sudden cardiac arrest claims millions of lives every year. AEDs are portable electronic devices that administer electric shocks to restore normal heart contractions after life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias or ventricle fibrillation. The Philips HeartStart OnSite AED is simple enough to use for people who are non-medically trained. The AED tests the victim to see if defibrillation is necessary, and if so, guides the user through the process with audio and visual prompts. Defibrillation within the first five minutes of cardiac arrest can improve the chance of survival by up to 90 percent.
At least eleven states already have laws requiring health clubs to have an AED. The states are: Arkansas, California, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and Rhode Island.
Zogics is offering the Philips HeartStart OnSite AED, which has a list price of $1,504.00, for just $1,267.99. Additional discounts are available for existing Zogics customers. For more information, please call Zogics at 888-623-0088 or visit www.shop.zogics.com
