Defibtech Wins an Award for its Website
Guilford, CT – February 1, 2005 – Defibtech announced today that it has received a Best Design award in the Medicine on the Net Web Excellence Awards for its website www.defibtech.com.
The Medicine on the Net Web Excellence Awards are presented annually to recognize outstanding websites. Defibtech won the Best Design award in the Healthcare Medical Supplier category for 2005. The best design award judges evaluate the overall appearance, audience appropriateness, use of graphics, readability, originality and creativity of the site.
Medicine on the Net is published by COR Health, the leading publisher of high-level, mission-critical newsletters and targeted decision-support resources and publications for healthcare leaders since 1982.
Defibtech set out to create a sophisticated and powerful medical device to be as simple and non-intimidating to use as possible. Having achieved that in the creation of the Lifeline Automated External Defibrillator (AED), Defibtech created a website to reflect the same goals: simple to use, non-intimidating design, real-world functionality.
Founded in 1999, Defibtech manufactures the market's most affordable AED, with a single-unit list price of $1,495 in the United States. Easy to use and portable, the Defibtech AED actually "talks" to the user, giving audible step-by-step instructions on how to give lifesaving defibrillation. The AED's bright coloring and award-winning design make it easy to find and operate quickly. Having the industry's longest operational battery life, the Defibtech AED is built to the durability standards of professional emergency personnel.
AEDs dramatically improve the chances of surviving sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), which causes the heart to become arrhythmic and stop pumping blood effectively. The majority of SCA victims receiving timely defibrillation survive; without it, fewer than 5 percent of SCA victims live. AEDs deliver a defibrillating electrical shock that restores the heart's rhythm to normal. More than 400,000 people die from SCA annually.
