World Restart a Heart Day, observed annually on October 16, is a global initiative aimed at raising awareness about sudden cardiac arrest and the critical importance of bystander CPR and defibrillation. Each year, hundreds of thousands of lives are lost to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest—but many of these deaths are preventable with timely intervention.
At Nihon Kohden Europe, we stand united with healthcare professionals, emergency responders, and communities worldwide to promote CPR education and expand access to life-saving technologies.
Sudden cardiac arrest can happen anywhere. Without rapid intervention, survival rates drop dramatically. That’s why public access to defibrillators and CPR training is essential—and why we continue to innovate in resuscitation care.
A compact, intuitive automated external defibrillator designed for fast deployment in public and clinical settings. Clear voice and visual prompts guide users through every step.
A real-time feedback device that helps rescuers maintain high-quality chest compressions, improving outcomes during both training and live emergencies.
A high-performance defibrillator for critical care environments, combining rapid shock delivery, CPR feedback, and advanced monitoring in one streamlined system.
On this World Restart a Heart Day, we encourage everyone to learn CPR, locate the nearest AED, and be ready to act. Together, we can strengthen the chain of survival and save more lives.
