Physio Control AED Sales Champions Hall of Fame

After more than a decade of working together to create more heartsafe places in the public domain, Physio-Control awarded defibshop with their AED Sales Champion Hall of Fame award which highlights our continuous efforts to ensure as many places as possible are equipped with a life-saving defibrillator.

This award was given to partners of Physio Control, who, in 2017, achieved at least 150% growth vs 2014 - from a baseline of 100k$ in the business of AEDs with Physio Control, now part of Stryker. A more heartsafe world is something both Physio Control, now part of Stryker and defibshop envision and this award has spurred our team on even more.

Increasing numbers of personnel trained in Basic Life support

Ability to sustain their work

We are incredibly proud of the award and thank the NWAS for recognising the work we do in the community with defibrillator placement and AED training.
