Monday December 8, 1:30 am ET

Company to Launch New Fully-Automatic AED in First Quarter
2004

IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cardiac Science, Inc. (Nasdaq: DFIB -
News) announced today it was granted a U.S. patent that covers a publicly-available
portable defibrillator capable of being used by a bystander to automatically deliver
life-saving defibrillation shock(s) to a heart attack victim.

The issuance of the patent preludes the first quarter 2004 launch of Cardiac Science's
fully-automatic version of its Powerheart® AED G3. This new version AED only requires
that someone properly attach the AED to a heart attack victim in distress. No additional
action is required by the rescuer since the device will analyze the patient's condition to
detect a life-threatening heart rhythm and, if appropriate, deliver the life-saving
defibrillation shock(s) to restore the victim's heart to a normal rhythm.

This patent, No. 6,658,290, titled "Public Access Defibrillator" brings the total number of
issued patents to 73 that Cardiac Science owns relating to a wide variety of external
defibrillation technologies for use in public access and the hospital bedside.
