New Defibrillators Make Saving A Life As Simple As 1-2-3

Buffalo Grove, Ill., USA, -- Welch Allyn, a leading global manufacturer of frontline medical products and solutions, now offers a new line of automated external defibrillators (AED), the AED 10 and AED 20, which both feature an intuitive design to guide virtually any rescuer through a cardiac emergency. Using text messages, voice prompts and instructional illustrations, the AED's automatically determine if a lifesaving shock is required, yet protect against inappropriate delivery of electrical current to the patient. Intended for easy operation and quick deployment, the AED 10 and AED 20 use the simple "1-2-3" rescue approach--a proven life-saving protocol used throughout the world.

"We want to make AEDs easy-to-use for ordinary people, reducing the time to deliver a first shock, which may mean the difference in saving a life," said Adrian Alvarez, Welch Allyn's director of marketing for defibrillation

Frequently Asked Questions About Littmann Stethoscopes

Q. I can’t hear anything out of my stethoscope. What is wrong with it?
A. If the acoustic performance seems to be lacking or absent, the following areas should be checked before assuming there is a problem with the stethoscope:

• Proper Headset Alignment - 3M™ Littmann® Stethoscopes have headsets which have been designed to be worn at an anatomically correct angle, oriented towards the user's ear canals. Wearing the stethoscope headset incorrectly can result in poor acoustic seal, and in some cases, complete sound blockage.
• Before placing the eartips in your ears, hold the stethoscope headset in front of you so that the eartubes point away from you. When the eartips are in your ears, the eartips should be pointed forwards.
• Not everyone's ear canals are the same. If after inserting the eartips in a proper manner, the fit does not seem comfortable and acoustic
