The sign is designed in accordance with ISO 7010 for safety signs and shape. Colours and existing symbols are in accordance with ISO 3864-3. Its comprehensibility has been tested in accordance with ISO 9186-1, rev. 2007 and proved superior to alternative designs.  <br>  <br> The AED sign is intended to indicate the presence of an AED, the localisation of an AED in a room, a container with an AED for public use or to indicate the direction to move in order to reach the AED, etc. It should assist in rapidly identifying the AED in a public place for immediate use in a victim of cardiac arrest. For this purpose the AED sign can be combined with other existing symbols like a standard arrow. <br> <br> The AED sign can also be accompanied by the letters “AED” or equivalents in other language groups. The full text “defibrillator” or equivalent is not encouraged. Several examples of combinations are shown. <br>  <br> It is ILCOR’s intention that this sign is adopted worldwide by the national councils that together form each ILCOR member council. The sign should also be adopted by all AED manufacturers for use with their products and by manufacturers of signage. Public organisations and governments should encourage the use of this universal AED sign. <br>  <br> We hope that this universal AED sign will assist in the awareness of the existence of AEDs and the rapid deployment of AEDs in the emergency of a cardiac arrest. <br>   <br> On behalf of the ILCOR Task Force AED signage, <br>  <br> R.W. Koster, chairman\"<br> <br> The above transcript was taken from the European Resuscitation Council Website<br> <br><a href=\"http://www.erc.edu\" target=\"blank\"><font color=\"#0A97FF\">Article Link</font></a><div><br></div><div><hr width=\"100%\" size=\"1\" noshade=\"noshade\"><br></div>');

The Council has, therefore, issued a statement confirming its advice that CPR should consist of alternating 30 chest compressions, of adequate force and depth, at a rate of 100/minute, with 2 mouth-to-mouth ventilations. The rescuer(s) should ensure that ventilations cause minimal interruption of chest compressions. For those rescuers who are unwilling or unable to give mouth-to-mouth ventilations, chest compression-only is much more acceptable&nbsp;</div><div align=\"left\" class=\"indexText\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 16px; \">than performing no CPR at all.&nbsp;</div><div align=\"left\" class=\"indexText\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 16px; \"><br></div><div align=\"left\" class=\"indexText\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 16px; \">Both statements can be found at:</div><div align=\"left\" class=\"indexText\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 16px; \"><br></div><div align=\"left\" class=\"indexText\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 16px; \"><b>The AHA statement:</b></div><div align=\"left\" class=\"indexText\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 16px; \"><br></div><div align=\"left\" class=\"indexText\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; \"><a href=\"http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/reprint/CIRCULATIONAHA.107.189380\" target=\"blank\"><font color=\"#0A97FF\">http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/reprint/CIRCULATIONAHA.107.189380</font></a></div><div align=\"left\" class=\"indexText\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; \"><a href=\"http://circ.ahajournals.org\" target=\"blank\"><font color=\"#0A97FF\">http://circ.ahajournals.org</font></a></div><div align=\"left\" class=\"indexText\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 16px; \"><br></div><div align=\"left\" class=\"indexText\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 16px; \"><b>The ERC statement:</b></div><div align=\"left\" class=\"indexText\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 16px; \"><br></div><div align=\"left\" class=\"indexText\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; \"><a href=\"http://www.erc.edu/index.php/docLibrary/en/viewDoc/775/3/\" target=\"blank\"><font color=\"#0A97FF\">http://www.erc.edu/index.php/docLibrary/en/viewDoc/775/3/</font></a></div><div align=\"left\" class=\"indexText\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; \"><a href=\"http://www.erc.edu/index.php\" target=\"blank\"><font color=\"#0A97FF\">http://www.erc.edu/index.php</font></a></div><div align=\"left\" class=\"indexText\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; \"><a href=\"http://www.erc.edu/\" target=\"blank\"><font color=\"#0A97FF\">http://www.erc.edu/</font></a></div><div align=\"left\" class=\"indexText\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 16px; \"><br></div><div align=\"left\" class=\"indexText\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; \"><font color=\"#1F468E\">Technical Support</font></div></span></font></div><div align=\"left\" class=\"indexText\" style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 16px; \"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"line-height: 12px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); \">First Aid International Ltd</span></div><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Times; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; \"><hr width=\"100%\" size=\"1\" noshade=\"noshade\"><br></span></span><p></p>');
