Leading the way in multilingual workplace technology-aided first aid response  Think Safe delivers state-of-the art upgraded first aid innovations consistently, while maintaining its track record of meeting and exceeding industry standards. The Backpack+AED Self-contained Emergency Treatment (SET) System is one of those innovations, providing a compact and low cost-of-ownership rugged AED, color-coded first aid supply bags, and the highly endorsed* Emergency Instruction Device (EID)–all packaged in an ergonomic, easy-to-restock backpack system.  Donnie Linder, a doctor of emergency medicine at St. Luke's Hospital – one of the nation's Top 100 Heart Hospitals – says that the system is comprehensive and a key first aid tool to supplement CPR and first aid training. "With over 3.8 million disabling workplace injuries and over 250,000 Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) deaths in the US annually, and first aid and CPR skills studies showing only a six-week retention, First Voice provides a quality solution for the retention problem and the failure to have the right supplies immediately accessible." In a SCA event, studies show that a 4-minute or less time to defibrillation is one of the keys to survival and recovery of the victim. "Our Backpack+AED SET System has incredible ergonomic value and easy to find color-coded supplies matching our First Voice EID's audible and visual coaching prompts," says CEO/President of Think Safe . "This system is designed for any workplace or public venue that is expected to comply with OSHA's general industry and workplace first aid and AED requirements or recommendations." The Backpack+AED SET System steps a responder through all major and minor first aid events with clear and calm multi-step instructions utilizing the EID and the coordinating first aid supplies. The rugged AED is housed in a clear, front-facing pocket for quick access in an emergency. The system is available from select distributors including CPR and or first aid supplies and safety distributors nationally. More information can be found online (www.firstvoice.us). All protocols within the system are compliant with 2005 approved ECC/American Heart Association and American Red Cross First Aid and CPR protocols. With a recently added new EID "Language" button responders can now hear emergency instructions in Spanish or English, with the capability of 20 or more additional languages available. The contents of the color-coded first aid supply bags allow the Backpack+AED SET System to meet and exceed OSHA and ANSI's newly updated 2008 first aid compliance standards. *endorsed by the American Lifeguard Association () About Think Safe Inc Think Safe Incis committed to setting new standards for comprehensive emergency readiness and response.
