* This is hard to gauge since it would be impossible to hear about every save. But we have been notified that approximately 500 times one of our kits have been used to save someone's life. Our kits have been mailed around the country and distributed throughout Maryland for many years, so the amount of lives saved is likely much higher than 500.
