“There’s probably a good five to eight minutes that I was there before the paramedics were. But with the AED, and having that tool that we’ve not had before, it’s more than just the compressions. It’s advising the shock. It’s telling us to continue the compressions, it’s going to let us know so that we’re not just standing there in the unknown.”

“"Because of its intuitive nature, it makes it easy for any and everyone," said Chuck. "It's not intimidating at all. From the size to the instructions, it really walks you through the process - in a time of crisis where many people may become anxious or feel overwhelmed, this allows you to take your time."”

“"Less processes, less money - and we save lives. It's a win-win. It's not only about emergency readiness, it's also about using our resources better. By not doing this manual checking on pads and batteries, we can use our professionals' time to take care of other important things on campus."”

“"And this project will address those issues for the university. The support that we have received from Avive has really reaffirmed what we already felt, that this was the best solution for our university.””

““It gives a sense of security to walk by and see that flashing green button and recognize that I had a report five days ago, but also I have physical documentation that it’s been checked as well.””

““What stuck out to me was the ease of use, the instructions, and the different language. We’re on a college campus where English might not be someone’s first language. Also the fact that one pad will work for either children or adults was a huge pain point for us in making sure that the user could feel more confident.””

““The technology has evolved — Avive has been a huge cost saving to us, it has been a time saving to us. Expectations are on the rise for lifesaving equipment and Avive is meeting the expectations of what we would like to do on our campus.””

““Avive AEDs are, for lack of a better word, dummy proof. You power it on, and you just follow the instructions.””

““The fact that the Avive AEDs have GPS located within them really shined the light on this item. Then when we learned that they are rechargeable, that was another tipping point for us to say, hey, let’s take a closer look at Avive and see if we can make this work.””

“The thing that is most important for what we need out of an AED and what Avive provides is the portability, connectivity, and durability. If it’s misplaced, which can happen, the GPS will allow us to locate it wherever it is.”

“I put our Avive AED right in my backpack, and where I go, it goes.”

“Within the MLS we have to travel to cold weather teams…you never know what we’re going to walk into. We’re traveling, we’re in another country. The Avive AED can go with us very easily and then we don’t have to take an AED away from the facility.”

“It has been so eye-opening to see a new product on the market that is doing things that are on the forefront of cardiac event management.”

“My nurses are excited to have a program that is keeping an eye on their AED at all times. Previous to Avive, they were making manual rounds monthly. Getting real-time alerts with REALConnect has been fantastic so far — and I like it on the administrator side because I can see the whole fleet of AEDs.”

““When we’re looking at our emergency preparedness, our emergency action planning and reaction to an emergency, our goal is to have an AED within 75 seconds of the site. If you can get things done within those early seconds from drop to shock, then you’re in a really good spot. Because of Avive’s size, because of its portability, we can have this in go bags and we can have these all around our academy... so that we’re always within 75 seconds of an AED.””

““With Avive, we don’t have to go down that road of buying new batteries and pads. So it was great for a cost effective side, but also for portability and the ability to make sure that we have them in our go bags, they fit well and still create a really good setup for us.””

“We’ve partnered with the school districts and with the Byron Nelson. This initiative goes beyond just one weekend, it’s about building a response ecosystem that protects lives year-round.”

“As trained as we are being critical care paramedics, in the world of medical cardiac arrest, what happens before we get there really is what determines whether somebody lives or dies. Partnering with Avive, with the technology, and being able to manage them all from one dashboard is super important.”

“Since we are only a week-long event, there’s simple ways for us to be in the community on a year-round basis, and this was an easy one for us to get behind. We’re honored to contribute to this life-saving effort and set a new bar for what cardiac safety at sporting events can look like.”

““You can't put a price on life. It's just a matter of what can you do to sustain it. I think if everybody in McKinney, every department had a AED in their vehicles so they can respond quicker - the stats themselves will speak because they're going to be responding to emergency calls - and be able to do something that they couldn't do before. Instead of waiting for another first responder, they're going to be able to take action themselves.””

““Having an AED in officers' vehicles is not anything new. The bigger aspect of the AED from Avive was that they didn't have to do anything else with it. They don't have to monitor it. We're monitoring that entire AED for them. We can tell you what the condition is, the battery, when you need to replace the pads, all of that. And then we can go ahead and make it as easy as possible for that police officer.””

““It really just makes everything very simple in a chaotic scene. The audible instructions are very loud and clear and as soon as the metrodone kind of clicked in, I started to match the rhythm, which helped a lot. When it's ready to shock, it's very clear to back away.””

“At the end of the day, investing in AEDs is investing in your community’s lives.”

“The GPS technology is wonderful - is the AED where it should be? How are the batteries and pads doing? It will proactively reach out to us with plenty of notice.”

“The design, the feel in the hands, the integration of the pads, the screen — everything is just so much more advanced than anything I’ve seen.”
