The Royal Malta Yacht Club was today presented with a CellAED (Single Use/Portable Defibrillator) which was donated to the Club by Jamesco Trading Ltd – a subsidiary company of Saint James Hospital

Rear Commodore (House) Mario Debono highlighted the paramount importance of safety, both on land and at sea, emphasizing the Club’s commitment to providing essential equipment for a secure environment.

In case of sudden cardiac arrest, rapid defibrillation is crucial as it is the only effective treatment for sudden cardiac arrest. The chances of surviving sudden cardiac arrest drop by 10 percent for every minute CPR and defibrillation is delayed. The CellAED® ensures a quick and effective response.

Maria Bugeja, representing Jamesco Trading Ltd, expressed her satisfaction in supporting such a vital cause, underlining the device’s significance for members’ peace of mind and swift response in cardiac emergencies. The CellAED® stands as the world’s first handheld, smart, personal defibrillator, with its user-friendly design making it accessible even for individuals without medical training.

The CellAED®  device features a unique snap-peel-stick design, meaning the device is quick and easy to use, even by someone with no medical training.
