Two medical teams in Michigan are working together to launch the "nex gen" defibrillator.
Life EMS, a West Michigan-owner provider, is anticipated to be the first emergency service organization in the nation to use Stryker's newest medical device, LIFEPAK 35, according to officials.
The device is expected to use technology that can reduce how many pauses there are during chest compressions.
It also features enhanced options, which include:
Pediatric AED mode;
Advanced connected capabilities that can send data quicker with built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or cell data; and a
Live view 12/15-lead with STJ Insight that provides a graphical representation of the ECG to help diagnose heart attacks.
"This again, helps us when people talk about somebody having a heart attack," Mark Meijer, president of Life EMS Ambulance, said.
