Cintas Introduces ReviveRTM Survivor Program

Business Wire
Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS) today launched its ReviveRTM
Survivor Program, an initiative that honors responders who
demonstrate life-saving emergency skills using the Cintas ReviveRTM
automated external defibrillator (AED). Cintas’ AEDs have saved
nearly 160 lives to date.
“Each year, more than 950,000 Americans die from cardiovascular
disease – approximately one quarter resulting from sudden cardiac
arrest before they reach the hospital,” said Scott Garula,
President and COO, First Aid & Safety, Cintas. “This program
recognizes the meaningful efforts of responders, who choose not to
stand by but to react when someone is in need. By investing in an
AED program, companies are making a commitment to saving lives in
the workplace.”
The ReviveR Survivor Program celebrates life-saving responders
with an award presented at the site of the incident. In addition,
it will honor representatives from the facility where the incident
occurred for being prepared for a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)
incident.
Research from the American Heart Association cites that
providing AEDs on site can increase sudden cardiac arrest survival
rates by 74 percent. As seconds count when a heart stops beating,
Cintas’ ReviveR AED guides the responder, acting as a personal
coach through critical moments. Designed for use by
non-professional responders, the AED delivers simple instructions
in a clear, calm voice. Also, visual indicators, similar to a smart
phone, prompt continuous monitoring of the heart to detect when the
patient's heartbeat recovers.
“Cintas’ unique on-site AED program is a vital element of any
emergency preparedness program, providing life-saving capabilities
for employees who find themselves in a position to treat sudden
cardiac arrest in the workplace,” added Nancy Petersen, Senior
Marketing Manager, Cintas.
The total Cintas AED program extends beyond the ReviveR AED unit
and is focused on all aspects of emergency response. In addition to
extensive CPR/AED training, the components of the ReviveR AED
program include site assessment by a health and safety expert and
periodic maintenance reviews of the ReviveR.
