Company: Cardiac Science     Ticker Symbol: DFIB
Session: 2
Media Contact: Raymond Cohen
Investor Relations Contact: Matt Clawson     Phone: 949-474-4300
E-mail: matt@allencaron.com        Company URL: www.cardiacscience.com

Product description: In a cardiac emergency where time is everything,
you have no time to think. You want a device that makes the decision
for you. That's what the Powerheart AED does. It automatically
monitors the patient's cardiac rhythm and determines if the patient
requires a defibrillation shock. The Powerheart AED offers the latest
advancements in automated external defibrillation technology.

Company description: Cardiac Science, Inc. (Nasdaq: DFIB) develops,
manufactures and markets life-saving automated external cardiac
defibrillators for both the in-hospital and public access markets that
address the leading cause of death in the United States -- sudden
cardiac arrest (SCA).

Each year, over 450,000 Americans die from SCA. Approximately 70
percent of the deaths occur while people are at work, home or play and
nearly 30 percent in hospitals. Outside the hospital, only 5 percent
of the SCA victims survive this very treatable condition, with
in-hospital SCA survival rates at only 15 percent.

The reasons for these dismal survival rates are simple and disturbing.
When a person is in cardiac arrest, oxygen is no longer reaching the
brain and blood flowing to vital organs has ceased. CPR works to
temporarily circulate blood throughout the body, but cannot restore a
patient's heart to a life-sustaining rhythm. The only known effective
treatment for SCA is the delivery of a defibrillation shock to the
heart. Early defibrillation is the single greatest determinant of
cardiac arrest survival; with every minute that defibrillation is
delayed, a victim's chance of survival decreases by 10 percent.
