The Chanhassen Fire Department responds to incidents of Cardiac Arrest within the community.  Best practices within the industry is constantly emerging with equipment and protocols to improve the overall success of these types of calls.  

The Chanhassen Fire Department recently purchased the EleGARD Device to complement the LUCAS device on calls related to cardiac arrest.  The $7,800 purchase was fully funded by the Chanhassen Relief Association.  

The Chanhassen Fire Department proudly represents the first EleGARD device to be placed in service within Carver County.  Extensive training has been conducted with response crews, as well as coordination with Dr. Sipprell from Ridgeview Medical Center. 

We hope to have the device available on our apparatus by June 1, 2021.  We are waiting on written protocols from Ridgeview Medical and finalizing our Standard Operating Guidelines.
