Not dated: These rows date a purchase to a YEAR. A year padded to January the first invents a precision nobody measured.

## Who They Are

Cardio Partners sells, services and manages automated external defibrillators and trains people to use them, through a family of brands its own site lists by name. It describes itself as part of Sarnova, a group that leads specialty distribution of healthcare products across the continuum of care in the United States.

It sits on this page for a purchase it announced from Dublin, Ohio in August 2025: a searcher-run AED program manager with two search-fund backers behind it, bought to add readiness and monitoring technology to the distributor's own line. The buyer quoted the seller's chief executive in its own release, which is what settles the searcher half without a second page.

## The Exits They Bought

Each row is a company a searcher built, with the year of the exit and the sources that establish both halves: the buyer's own announcement, and the record showing the company was searcher-owned.

### RescueStat (2025)

Carl Dixon ran RescueStat, an AED program management and monitoring company bought under its earlier name StatPads, as chief executive with Search Fund Partners and Aspect Investors behind it. Cardio Partners announced the acquisition as completed on August 8, 2025, and quoted him in its own release.
