SafetyMate
Corp. Launches Premiere Product at 2004 Homeland &
Global Security Summit
SafetyMate® is the First and Only Portable First
Aid Responder Device with American Red Cross and Homeland
Security Protocols
IRVINE, CA (March 26, 2002) - SafetyMate Corporation
announced today that it will be launching its premiere
first aid responder device, SafetyMate®, at the
2004 Homeland & Global Security Summit in Washington,
D.C., beginning on Wednesday, March 31, 2004 at the
Washington Convention Center. To preview the SafetyMate
device first hand at the Homeland Summit, please visit
booth number 612.
Developed with the support of and approval by the
American Red Cross, SafetyMate is a hand held, battery
powered portable interactive device that helps a first
aid responder react confidently to a variety of life
threatening medical emergencies with the push of a
button. The audible instructions/protocols, provided
step-by-step, are the same as those used by 911 operators,
the American Red Cross, and the Department of Homeland
Security.
At the 2004 Homeland & Global Security Summit,
SafetyMate will be able to demonstrate the instructions/protocol
programmed for emergencies of particular concern to
the Department of Homeland Security. SafetyMate can
provide instructions/protocols that enable individuals
to respond to homeland security threats including:
explosions; radiation threats; chemical threats; and
biological threats.
In addition to its Homeland Security applications,
SafetyMate provides instructions/protocols for emergencies
most frequently reported to 911 or responded to by
an Emergency Medical Team including: choking; seizures;
head, spine and neck injuries; burns; electric shock;
CPR; fractures; and unconsciousness.
SafetyMate can be programmed in any language and
is currently offered in an English/Spanish version
in the U.S. and an English/French version in Canada.
The proprietary programmability of SafetyMate allows
the company to provide keypad configurations with
varied protocol requests to meet the needs of any
and all markets.
"In a medical emergency when every second counts,
it's reassuring to know there is a product available
that can be the link between the occurrence of an
emergency situation and the arrival of professional
help to the scene," stated Thomas McEuen, president
of SafetyMate Corporation.
Because the product serves as an excellent skill
refresher and enhances training, the American Red
Cross has integrated it into its curriculum of first
aid and CPR classes offered through chapters of the
American Red Cross. In addition to distribution through
American Red Cross chapters, SafetyMate is being adopted
by a number of school districts as a means of providing
supplementary protection to the students under their
care and supervision. The schools' intent is to install
the device in buses, gymnasiums, classrooms and administration
buildings, thus making SafetyMate an integral component
of safety preparedness and risk management programs.
SafetyMate Corporation was founded with the goal
of providing life saving information, products and
devices that prepare and enable the general public
to render immediate and effective assistance to victims
of accidents, medical or Homeland Security emergencies.
In the summer of 2004, the company will offer SafetyMate
through a network of national distributors to commercial,
institutional and recreational markets. |
