Cardiac Science Expects New Law to Expand
Automated External Defibrillator Market in Japan
Thursday September 11, 1:30 am ET

Japanese Health Agency Approves Use of Automated External
Defibrillators by General Public

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cardiac Science, Inc. (Nasdaq: DFIB -
News) today announced that the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare
(MHLW) has for the first time approved the use of automated external defibrillators
(AEDs) by non-medical persons. The new law represents a significant shift in the
Japanese ministry's view toward the use of AEDs, which formerly could only be legally
used by physicians, paramedics and trained flight attendants in airplanes.

The new law, passed in August,
came in response to a public outcry
over the death of Prince
Takamadonomiya, who died of
sudden cardiac arrest while playing
a sporting event, and Japanese
health statistics that show 100
people die each day from sudden
cardiac arrest in Japan. Now any
Japanese citizen or organization can
deploy an AED after undergoing a
course in AED operation. The
legislation is expected to create a
market for the deployment of AEDs
in public places and fuel growth in
the Japanese AED market

DFIB is the market leader in Japan at the moment...
