Beta Klinik donates defibrillator to Cologne Golfers

If the heart stops beating or its regular rhythm is interrupted, a defibrillator can save lives. Such a portable life-saver was given to Andy Clark of Clark´s Golfworld by Beta Klink. Not only visitors of the golf shop benefit from it but also all sportsmen and -women of the Golf Club Ford Cologne and the Public Golf Course Cologne, which is run by Clark.

 

From time to time it would occur that a golfer collapses and needs first aid according to Clark. If serious heart injury is to happen, only a few minutes decide a person´s fate. After one of his staff was personally affected, it was clear to Clark that a defibrillator is a must. An acquaintance of him contacted Beta Klinik which decided to buy a new device also medical laypersons are able to operate.

The special feature of this device: it talks to the user and explains step by step what to do. And it only unleashes a therapeutic dose of an electrical impulse if the build-in ECG detects severe heart problems. This way, even medical laypersons can save lives without any danger of risking a persons life with the electronic shocks of the defibrilator.
