Maintenance and regular testing of defibrillators is essential. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for routine checks of electrodes, battery and general functionality. Check that the device is in good condition, has sufficient battery life and is placed in an accessible location. Regular training and drills for staff or community members who may use the AED also help ensure that it is ready for use in an emergency. This should be done approx. every other year.
With a service agreement, all this is done for you. We monitor your defibrillator and change the battery, electrodes and machine when necessary.
