- Automated External Defibrillator Locations
An initiative to replace and install automated external defibrillators (AED) on Cranberry Township properties will help buy time in the event an unpredictable event occurs.
The Township, along with the Cranberry Township Community Chest and the Passavant Hospital Foundation, pitched in to purchase 18 Physio Control Lifepak CR2 Defibrillators to be placed in strategic locations around the Township.
The defibrillators have clear directions, audible prompts to guide a person through the process, and different settings for adults and children under the age of 8. The devices are also compatible with Cranberry EMS’ cardiac monitors, ensuring a smooth transition of care once crews arrive on scene.
Each kit contains the AED device, scissors, a razor for removing chest hair, a towel, gloves, and a pocket mask for CPR.
Additionally, police vehicles are outfitted with the devices, as well as a dedicated device for the Department of Fire and Emergency Services. Several of the community access devices will be kept in lit, heated cabinets in the parks from 24/7 access from any visitor.
