Physio-Control Corporation was founded in 1955 by Dr. Karl William Edmark as a manufacturer and distributor of emergency defibrillation and automated CPR equipment.
The company's products are primarily for the emergency treatment of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) Events. The LIFEPAK line of defibrillators includes both advanced units for ACLS trained personnel, as well as Automated External Defibrilators (AEDs) for use by First Responders and the general public. Additionally, the company produces an automated chest compression system called the LUCAS 2. While this system may be used in the field, it has also been used in the hospital setting to prolong human life while surgical or other procedures are accomplished.
