Cardiac Events Watch

Understanding the guidelines

Public health bodies like the American Heart Association (AHA) and the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) consistently highlight the chain of survival. Early recognition and early CPR are the foundational links.

Operational planning

Facilities should use these guidelines as context for their readiness planning. While immediate CPR can double or triple survival chances according to public data, these statistics reflect the intervention of early CPR generally—not the efficacy of any specific product.

The role of assistance

VitalSigns states CPRAIDR® provides real-time feedback to assist users in performing CPR. As a manufacturer-stated CE-marked (MDR Class I) device for adults 18+, it supports the critical early CPR link in your facility's response chain.
