Adventure Unlimited take order of Defibtech AEDs


Adventure Unlimited have taken delivery of some brand new Defibtech AEDs, replacing their previous AED solution, which weren't suited to the the rigorous conditions that they often work in.

Adventure Unlimited specializes in offering first aid teams to hard to reach places. They have experience caring for casualties in mountainous areas and have organized evacuations by the fire-services and helicopters. Their teams carry advanced life support, including portable heart defibrillators, O2 units, plus VHF radio handsets. They have our own mobile first-aid van, with a VHF base-station.

All the team members are adventure athletes, and have competed to a high level in mountain races. We are therefore able to reach emergencies quickly and effectively, regardless of terrain or distance.

On adventure races, they pride themselves on getting to an accident site in the quickest time possible. They have experience coordinating their services with local private or voluntary EMS providers and have worked with HKAmbulance Service, AMS and St.John's. They have worked together as a coordinated team on many races in varying conditions.

Their service also includes pre-site checks, action plans, evacuation-plans, course sweeping, de-rigging and finding missing competitors.

The team members are carefully selected for their "hands on" approach to first aid and crisis management and can really make a difference in an emergency.

Premier races in Hong Kong, including Action Asia and King Of The Hills, put their trust in Adventure Unlimited, that should there be an accident, they will be the first to react and do whatever it takes to resolve the situation in a beneficial way.

Across Hong Kong up to 20% of the population have some kind of CPR training.

This is great news for anyone who should be involved in a CPR emergency as it means that for every 10 people you see, two of them have the ability to save a life.


If you know a little CPR, then you can easily use an AED. The use of an AED drastically increases the chance of recovery from a Sudden Cardiac Arrest, and as AEDs become more acceptable across society their potential to save lives will increase.

Every community, without exception has benefitted from the introduction of AEDs, and Hong Kong and China will be no different. ASM's 4hour, CPR/AED training course specializes in intergrating the AED into pre-existing CPR training.
