 | China Earthquake Emergency Rescue Team Deploys LifeLocator(TM) Life Detection System to Find Quake Victims : U.S.-Developed Technology From UltraVision Detects Life Through Debris Piles Created by Earthquake-Caused Collapse of Buildings and Structures in China
BEIJING (Business Wire EON) May 13, 2008 -- Members of China’s emergency relief team of medics and soldiers are using the UltraVision LifeLocator™ life detection system to support post-earthquake rescue efforts. The LifeLocator can detect the earthquake victims' shallow breathing through debris piles created as a result of building and other structures’ collapse. Use of the LifeLocator is a critical part of the rescue team’s efforts to find survivors in these life-threatening post-quake hours. The LifeLocator is able to detect very slight movement such as the movement created from shallow breathing, important for victims who may not be able to otherwise move or call out. China life-safety and security distributor Ancom Systems donated LifeLocator to the emergency earthquake rescue team. The team is now searching for survivors of the earthquake in Wenchuan County after being forced to hike in overland due to massive damage to roads in the area. The team arrived nearly 24 hours after the 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck. LifeLocator will be invaluable in these hours as earlier ability of victims to move or call out may be now diminished. Ancom Systems has distributed approximately 45 additional LifeLocators throughout various locations in China in the past five years and anticipates these will be used in other recovery efforts. 2008-05-13 |
