Description
"With the Actar 911, the design firm Studio Innova identified a market need, developed a solution and formed a company to manufacture a new product. The Actar 911 enabled CPR instructors to train large groups by replacing the costly and cumbersome industry standard with an inexpensive and lightweight design. The result was a world-wide transformation of both CPR instruction and the industry’s manufacturing process."
