New AEDs at Green Bay Area Public Schools

GREEN BAY, WI- (WGBW) – Green Bay Area Public Schools has purchased 66 new  Zoll AED 3Ⓡ units to replace its current automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) and provide dedicated units for the athletic trainers.

February is American Heart Month, and GBAPS said in a press release that it is a great time to recognize the facilities department’s efforts to ensure the well-being of students, staff, athletes, and visitors to the schools. 

“Over the years, the District has been fortunate to have AEDs in our buildings,” stated Safety and Security Manager Chris Collar. “The decision to replace all of our AEDs at one time allows the District to have uniformity in training of our staff and in purchasing replacement parts.”

The new units have the following benefits:

• A 5-year life battery life
• Full-color rescue images
• The unit uses the same pads for a child or adult
• The digital display provides “Real CPR Help” which measures the depth and rate of compression.
