Testimonial | FAQs Testimonials Life-saving Device on the Job at Multi-Tech Systems "As part of our company's safety committee, I was trained as an emergency responder, but I hoped I would never need to use my skills. Then the call came. One of our employees, Paul Corcoran, was unconscious in his office. My only thought was that Paul needed help — and everything I learned in AED training came to me in an instant. I knew Paul was depending on our emergency response team and the AED to save his life. I was the first member of our company's trained emergency response team to respond to the call. I arrived at his office, held him while he experienced small seizures, and watched him dying in my arms. Another safety committee member immediately brought our AED to the scene — I was so relieved, I knew there was hope for Paul. After determining that Paul was unconscious, not breathing and had no pulse, I connected the AED electrodes to him. Our Cardiac Science AED took over from there. It determined Paul was in ventricular fibrillation and prompted me to push the button to deliver a shock. I did, and Paul's heartbeat returned to a normal rhythm. Paul is alive today because our company had an AED. The AED was purchased as a part of our safety program, which is directed by an 18-person volunteer committee dedicated to making our facility as safe as possible for our more than 380 employees. I have been involved with the program from the very start because I know workplace injuries are common and easily preventable. All of us at Multi-Tech are so thankful that we were able to save Paul's life. We also feel comfort knowing that we are prepared if one of our employees needs help again."
