Ensuring Child Safety: AEDs at Early Childhood Education Exhibits

In the field of early childhood education, ensuring the safety of children is paramount. However, the unexpected risks of accidents and sudden illnesses are ever-present. The reality is that fatal arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation, aren't solely conditions that affect adults but can also occur in children.

To prepare for such unforeseen emergencies, having a robust response system with access to life-saving measures is essential for safeguarding young lives. The upcoming exhibition, "Early Childhood Education Expo 2025," aims to address these challenges, and Japan Lifeline has recognized the significance of promoting Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) as a critical component of this initiative.

The Role of AEDs in Early Childhood Settings

Japan Lifeline, a specialized medical equipment trading company based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, will be showcasing its self-developed AED, the Cardiac Rescue RQ-6000, at the event held from July 16 to 17, 2025, at MyDome Osaka.

Through this exhibition, Japan Lifeline hopes to convey the importance of AEDs in protecting children’s lives during instances of sudden cardiac arrest and to alleviate the concerns of early childhood education professionals. Visitors to the booth will have the opportunity to interact with the device firsthand.

Why Now is the Time for AEDs?

There is a growing societal demand for the safety of children in educational environments. The critical duty of childcare and education professionals is to ensure safety for the children in their care. The rapid advancement of AED technology allows us to be prepared for emergencies in a way that is user-friendly, even for those who may not have specialized medical training.

Cardiac Rescue RQ-6000: A User-Friendly AED

At the Japan Lifeline booth (MyDome Osaka, 3F, Booth No. E005), attendees will experience the Cardiac Rescue RQ-6000. This product, grounded in over 40 years of expertise in cardiac medical devices, has been designed with usability in mind so that anyone can operate it quickly and effectively.

Key Features of Cardiac Rescue RQ-6000:

1. Intuitive Operation: The device uses voice guidance and illustrations to navigate users through each step. It’s an invaluable feature for those who may find themselves in panic during an emergency.
2. Child-Friendly Functionality: The AED is adaptable for children; by pressing a button, users can switch to a mode suitable for pre-school-aged children without needing to replace electrode pads.
3. Hands-On Experience: Visitors can physically interact with the device and practice the application of pads to foster confidence in its use.

“Our goal is for attendees to leave with the assurance that they can effectively use the AED if the need arises,” said Yuuharu Yoko, Head of the AED Promotion Department at Japan Lifeline.

Reflections from Japan Lifeline’s Leadership

“Our experience in the medical field has taught us how significant each individual’s response is in saving lives during emergencies. Especially in environments where children spend much of their time, like preschools and kindergartens, we must collectively safeguard their safety as a society. It would bring us immense joy if this exhibition could help shift perceptions of AEDs from being seen as specialized medical equipment to regarded as reliable partners in emergencies,” commented Yoko.

Future Aspirations

Japan Lifeline intends not only to showcase its AEDs at this event but also to accelerate their integration into early childhood education settings. Beyond supplying products, the company will emphasize ongoing support and training for emergency response, ensuring every child can safely thrive in their environment.
