Belfast Company Wins Singapore Defibrillator Contract
A Belfast company has won a contract to supply equipment for the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) in Singapore.
Enterprise, Trade and Investment Minister Arlene Foster announced the deal, which will see HeartSine Technologies supply its Automated External Defibrillators to Singapore.
Minister Foster said: "This tremendously important contract will see lifesaving technology pioneered in Northern Ireland used extensively in Singapore.
"Almost 2,000 Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) have been purchased by Singapore’s Armed Forces. This means that every Singapore military camp will now have HeartSine defibrillators installed.
"HeartSine's outstanding success in Singapore in a competitive tender process is a marvellous endorsement of the company and also of Northern Ireland as an international centre of excellence in emergency cardiac technology.
"This Belfast-based company has a superb track record in international markets and currently exports to 44 countries, with operating systems in more than 29 languages."
Chief Executive of HeartSine Technologies, Declan O’Mahoney said: "This is a fantastic achievement for HeartSine, reflecting the worldwide recognition and extremely high quality of our defibrillators.
"There are almost 8,000 cases of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) in Singapore each year, with over one thousand deaths reported in 2011. In fact, just six months ago, in a high profile case, a young Lance Corporal suffered SCA while training, and fortunately survived.
"While this is our largest contract in Singapore, we also have placed HeartSine devices in the Singapore Civil Defence Force, Singapore Parliament and the Ministry of Health."
