– High-end AED that dramatically increases the patient’s chances of survival by analyzing whether an electric shock is needed during CPR
– Support for CPR training using new products through the Braden Learning Center
Wicomet Co., Ltd. (CEO Lee Jeong-hoon), which operates a healthcare solution related to CPR, announced that it will exclusively sell the new automated external defibrillator (AED) product, 'LIFEPAK CR2' from global medical technology company Stryker, to the domestic public sector and support AED and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) education services.
Wicomet, the official domestic sales agent of Striker, will supply the newly launched premium AED, LifePak CR2, to domestic public health care institutions including emergency medical centers, public institutions such as apartment complexes, and businesses.
The cprINSIGHT technology embedded in the LifePak CR2 is characterized by analyzing the electrocardiogram in real time during CPR and automatically determining whether a shock is needed without medical intervention. This can shorten the pause between CPR and defibrillation by up to 14 seconds, increasing the patient's survival probability by more than three times.
While existing AEDs had to temporarily stop chest compressions to analyze electrocardiograms, cprINSIGHT technology minimizes CPR interruption time, continuously maintains blood circulation, and increases survival rates. In addition, the application of QUIK-STEP electrode pads allows the first shock delivery time to be up to 35 seconds faster than other AEDs on the market.
In addition, Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity functions provide real-time patient status and treatment information to emergency responders, enabling faster and more accurate responses. The device status monitoring function automatically sends notifications regarding consumable replacement times and software updates, efficiently supporting device maintenance and management.
Along with the launch of the new product, Wicomet plans to carry out various distribution activities such as donation events and to link the center with the AED device to present a comprehensive healthcare solution including education within the year. In addition, to commemorate the domestic sales, an event will be held to provide free AED education to all employees of customers who purchase the LifePak CR2.
Founded in 2016, Wicomet has signed an official domestic distributorship contract with Striker, operates the 'Brayden Learning Center', an educational institution under the Korean Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Association, and the 'Ministry of the Interior and Safety Children's Safety Education Institute', and provides CPR manikins and educational services to the National Fire Agency, the Korean Red Cross, university hospitals, institutions under the Ministry of Education, large corporations, and small and medium-sized enterprises.
Wicomet CEO Lee Jeong-hoon said, “AED is a device used in emergency situations where every second counts, so quality stability and aftercare are important, and even training must be conducted meticulously.” He added, “We will work to expand the distribution of AEDs and revitalize CPR training so that more people can respond properly in emergency situations.”
Meanwhile, the Braden Learning Center operated by Wicomet is conducting CPR classes using the Braden mannequin parish of 'Innosonian', which is used by the American Red Cross, European universities, and hospitals. Up to six mannequins can be connected to a single management tablet to monitor the CPR performance in real time, enabling efficient large-scale training and evaluation.
