HeartSine Is Supplier of AEDs to American Airlines

American Airlines

HeartSine is excited to be part of "something special in the air" through its agreement with American Airlines to supply samaritan® PAD 300P Automated External Defibrillators to be installed in all aircraft in the American Airlines and American Eagle fleets, as well as in all ground operations and offices.

HeartSine's Pad-Pak™ electrode and battery cartridge, designed for its samaritan® PAD 300P AEDs, now carries the Federal Aviation Administration's TSO-C142a certification, so it's qualified for use on commercial aircraft. This Technical Standard Order (TSO) applies to non-rechargeable lithium cells and batteries intended for commercial aviation use. The FAA requires all commercial aircraft with more than 19 seats to carry an AED onboard.

American Airlines was attracted to HeartSine's focus on partnership and clinically superior AED. Thomas N. Bettes, M.D., MPH, American Airlines' Corporate Medical Director said, "We were also very attracted to their Pad-Pak design, which integrates the battery and electrodes into a single self-contained cartridge, reducing the number of time-sensitive items my department must procure and inventory, as well as the number of expiration dates we have to manage. We also appreciate the advantages of HeartSine's smaller, lighter-in-weight unit in terms of annual fuel cost savings."

The commercial aviation industry is an important and expanding market for HeartSine. To download marketing literature you can use to promote HeartSine AEDs to the aviation industry, visit our online distributor portal.
