The company Mate is offering an integral service to every sports organization, including advanced articles as the Samaritan defibrillator, an American product from the manufacturer Heartsine, supplied and supported in Spain by the company Adiemed.

"In Spain there are more than 85, 000 clubs, but no more than two thousand are professionally organised", says Manel Casas, General Manager of the company.

Mate is organized in 5 service areas, one of them is the distribution of sports material, and among them the last inclusion is the Samaritan PAD, a public access defibrillator. Since a death from a football player from the spanish football league, the demand for this equipments have increased from the sport clubs. 'With the Samaritan, 90% of these deaths could be avoided. I think it worthwhile to have it even in schools'. The Samaritan PAD is ready to be used in any moment by non-specialized people. It can diagnose and recommend if a shock should be delivered or not, and deliver it to restablish the normal cardiac rhythm. The device is easy to use and supported by voice and light prompts..

Mate also offers whatever a sport club can need, from the daily management to the updating of the web page.
