MBI has purchased a defibrillator (hjertestarter) which is placed by the south door in the hallway just outside the eating room («loopen»).  

The defibrillator can and should be used by anyone!  When started, the machine will provide voice instruction to guide you through the process.  The defibrillator will measure the patient’s heart-rate, and will not fire until the heart has actually stopped.   IT IS SAFE TO USE THE DEFIBRILLATOR EVEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TRAINING.

If a person suffers from cardiac arrest, time is essential.  We encourage everyone to be prepared to use the defibrillator if necessary.

Please have a look, preferably as soon as you have read this message, so you know where to find the machine!   If you want to have a closer look, please contact Andrea.  To see how the defibrillator operates, have a look at the video below.
