.. Package # 2▼ Defibtech Lifeline Package For Schools and Universities Defibtech Life-saving reading, writing, and Rhythmetic Schools and Universities Package   Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) claims the lives of over 400,000 Americans every year. Unfortunately, the common belief is that it only strikes the elderly, overweight, and infirm. The reality is that cardiac arrest impacts all age groups, genders, and levels of physical fitness. For many victims of SCA there are no outward signs of a problem until it is too late. SCA can strike at anyone, anytime, anywhere. At school sporting events, field trips, dances, assemblies or just during the course of the school day, the risk of a cardiac arrest is very real. In addition to the students who are at risk, schools and their activities serve as gathering points for parents, faculty, and community members who may also be in danger of suffering from a cardiac emergency.  We offer special discounts on Defibtech AED Defibrillators for schools.

Code Ann 6-10-122 et. seq., these shall be known as the Arkansas Department of Education Rules Governing School-Based Automated External Defibrillator (AED) devices and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) programs. 3.0 DEFINITIONS For the purpose of these rules, the following terms mean: 3.01 Arkansas Public Schools: includes all public and charter schools 3.02 AED: Automated External Defibrillator means a device that: 3.02.1 Is used to administer an electric shock through the chest wall to the heart; 3.02.2 Has built-in computers within the device to assess the patient’s heart rhythm, judge whether defibrillation is needed, and then administer the shock; 3.02.3 Has audible or visual prompts, or both, to guide the user through the process; 3.02.4 Has received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration of its pre-market modification, filed pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 360 (k); 3.02.5 Is capable of recognizing the presence or absence of ventricular fibrillation and rapid ventricular tachycardia and is capable of determining without intervention by an operator whether defibrillation should be performed; and 3.02.6 Upon determining the defibrillation should be performed, either automatically charges and delivers an electrical impulse to an individual’s heart or charges and delivers an electrical impulse at the command of the operator. 3.03 CPR/AED Provider: A member or employee of a campus who has completed training in CPR in addition to knowledge and understanding of an AED’s operation and use under the requirements set forth in this regulation. 3.04 Cardiac arrest: A condition, often sudden, that is due to abnormal heart rhythms called arrhythmias. It is generally the result of some underlying form of heart disease. 3.05 Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A combination of rescue breathing and chest compressions and external cardiac massage used to sustain a person’s life until advanced assistance arrives. 3.07 Defibrillation: Administering the electrical impulse to an individual’s heart in order to stop ventricular fibrillation or rapid ventricular tachycardia. 3.08 Department: Arkansas Department of Education 3.09 Emergency Medical Services (EMS): The transportation and medical care provided the ill or injured prior to arrival at a medical facility by a licensed emergency medical technician or other health care provider and continuation of the initial emergency care within a medical facility subject to the approval of the medical staff and governing board of that facility. 3.10 Extra-curricular event: Any school sponsored program or voluntary activity sponsored by the school, local education agency, or an organization sanctioned by the local education agency where students are competing for the purpose of receiving an award, rating, recognition, or criticism, or qualification for additional competition or including preparation for and involvement in public performances, contests, athletic competitions, demonstrations, displays and club activities. 3.11 FDA: Federal Food and Drug Administration 3.12 School-Personnel: School Board approved/contract employee of the district that is required to follow school policy and procedures 3.13 Program Coordinator: An individual, appointed by the school district, who is responsible for administration of the Automated External Defibrillation program for their respective campus. 3.14 Protocol: Currently approved and accepted procedures describing specific steps a provider must follow in assessing and treating a patient. 3.15 Renewal: Period training and demonstration of competence in the application and use of automated defibrillation equipment. 3.17 School campus: Any public school building or cluster of buildings, including grounds, with an ADE-issued LEA number, that is used for any purpose, including, without limitation: an extracurricular activity, organized physical activity course defined in Ark. Code Ann. § 6-16-137, pre-kindergarten education, or district administration. 3.18 School sponsored event; Any event or activity sponsored by the school or school system which includes but is not limited to athletic events, booster clubs, parent-teacher organizations, or any activity designed to enhance the school curriculum whether on school-campus or not. 3.19 Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA): SCA is a sudden or unexpected cessation of heart function, most often caused by a sudden arrhythmia, such as ventricular fibrillation (VF). When this occurs, the heart’s electrical impulses suddenly become chaotic and ineffective. Blood flow to the brain abruptly stops and the victim collapses and quickly loses consciousness. Death usually follows unless a normal heart rhythm is restored within minutes. 3.20 Ventricular Fibrillation (VF): The most common arrhythmia that causes cardiac arrest. It is a condition in which the heart’s electrical impulses suddenly become chaotic, often without warning, causing the heart’s pumping action to stop abruptly. 4.0 REQUIREMENTS 4.01 Each school campus must have an Automated External Defibrillator on or before May 31, 2011. 4.02 Appropriate school personnel must be adequately trained on or before May 31, 2011 as outlined in 9.0 Quality Training. 4.03 After May 31, 2011, appropriate school personnel must be adequately trained on an ongoing basis as outlined in 9.0 Quality Training. 5.0 AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR MODEL 5.01 Defibrillators acceptable for use in the State of Arkansas: 5.01.1 Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approved; 5.01.2 Automated type requiring provider intervention to initiate a defibrillation shock; and 5.01.3 Capable of automatically collecting data. 5.02 No modifications will be made to defibrillation equipment, by the provider or the service, which results in: 5.02.1 Deviation from the original manufacturer’s specifications, or 5.02.2 Deviation from AED protocols. 6.0 DEFIBRILLATOR PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE/REPAIR 6.01 Each school district shall designate appropriate personnel to be responsible for the maintenance of the AED(s). 6.02 All components of the AED and integrated data recording system shall be inspected by a qualified service technician at least one (1) time per calendar year or as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure: 6.02.1 The equipment meets original manufacturer’s specifications; 6.02.2 The equipment maintains the currently approved treatment protocols based on the current American Heart Association scientific guidelines, standards, and recommendations for the use of the AED . 6.03.2 The battery of the AED shall be maintained and replaced in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. 6.03.3 All maintenance and repairs shall be performed by a qualified service technician recognized by the manufacturer. 6.03.4 Written records shall be maintained for all maintenance, repairs, and inspections performed on all components for mandated annual state reporting purposes. 7.0 AVAILABILITY OF AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR 7.01 Each school shall designate appropriate personnel to be responsible for ensuring the availability of the AED. 7.02 The location of AEDs shall be based on the following: 7.02.1.
