17 new AEDs for Rotterdam

Recently, one of our technicians went out in Rotterdam. In total, he hung a Mindray C1A AED in a bright green Rotaid 24/7 Cabinet in 17 different places. A great assignment that we carried out on behalf of the Municipality of Rotterdam, in collaboration with the Dutch Heart Foundation.

We placed the AEDs on the outside of public buildings, including various parking garages. All 17 AEDs were also immediately registered with the national call-out system HartslagNu. This strengthens the AED network of the region and allows citizen responders to locate and retrieve the nearest AED more quickly.

Unveiling

On Friday 17 January, one of the AEDs was festively unveiled by alderman Robert Simons and Hans Snijder, the director of the Dutch Heart Foundation. Jan Smale and Rainier Vugts were present on behalf of AED-Partner. After the unveiling, the Hartstichting provided a short resuscitation training, in which alderman Simons also participated. A great day to be present!

Great to see how many regional and national media reported on the new AEDs. This emphasizes the importance of AEDs and the great step that the Municipality of Rotterdam is taking for the heart safety of its residents!
