To rescue a victim of cardiac arrest, you need an AED that is ready to deliver a lifesaving shock. But, just having an AED is not good enough. To save a life, you have to make sure your AED is working and will be in the hands of a trained volunteer responder. If that sounds simple, you may not realize all you need to know and do to set up and maintain a successful AED program.

ARE YOUR AEDS READY AND COMPLIANT?

Here are some important questions for anyone managing AEDs:

• Are you certain every one of your AEDs is ready and will work in an emergency?
• Do you know the current self-test status of every AED in your program?
• Are you checking AED status regularly?
• Do you know when to replace the pads and batteries for each of your AEDs?
• Are you tracking the responders assigned to your AEDs?
• Who will you call in order to train your responders in using AEDs and CPR?
• Do you know when your responders will need re-training to maintain their rescue skills?
• Can you quickly and accurately review the current status of all your AEDs and trained responders?
