The Mobilize Rescue Systems app provides lay rescuers with the knowledge required to use the supplies in the rescue kit.
The programme has been designed to take the user through mostly ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions to assess the victim. It indicates colour-coded and labelled equipment, and offers instructions to help the victim.
Mobilize Rescue Systems have been deployed by federal and local law enforcement agencies, security and investigations agencies, K-12 schools and universities, as well as public and private organisations in the US.
Mobilize RRS expects that Zoll’s extensive network will facilitate worldwide availability of the systems.
