Act Now to Win an AED!

iRescU Team Launches First Global AED Scavenger Hunt

ORLANDO--The iRescU AED Location Challenge, an innovative project designed to build public automated external defibrillator (AED) public access databases, was launched this weekend at the American Heart Association Resuscitation Science Symposium in Orlando, Florida. The Challenge, which continues through 9:00 am ET Tuesday, November 15, invites champions of the cause from around the world to identify and report AED locations. The individual reporting the greatest number of AEDs (must report a minimum of 10 AEDs) will win an AED donated by the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation and Cardiac Science.

So get out your cameras and phones and report as many AED locations as possible.

Here’s how:

1. Find an AED anywhere in the world (excluding those at the Orlando Convention Center).
2. Take a photo with your camera or phone.
3. Upload the photo and location info to http://www.iRescU.info/AEDupload.htm. (Scanning this eTag will take your smartphone directly to the upload page. You will need to download the free Microsoft app “Tag Reader” to scan it.) Or, you may e-mail the photo to AEDupload [at] iRescU.info. Act now.

The deadline is Tuesday, November 15 at 9:00 am ET.
