Benefits of Adding An AED Program

Owning an AED comes with more responsibilities than simply purchasing it and placing it in the proper area inside your business. Preventative maintenance and compliance management are two important factors not to be forgotten as part of your AED program. As an AED owner, you are legally responsible for it so to ensure compliance and emergency preparedness, we are to help you learn more about the Cardio Partners Preventative Maintenance Service and the LifeShield AED Compliance Management Program.

Benefits of an AED Preventative Maintenance Service

Preventative maintenance on AEDs ensures your AED is ready in the event of any emergency. Each AED needs its own preventative maintenance package. The preventative maintenance service provides a rigorous 10-point inspection that includes:

• Cleaning the device
• Packing the AED according to shipping regulations
• Submitting tracing information to the manufacturer
• Visual inspected of the AED
• Upgrading the AED to current AHA guidelines
• Self-testing of the AED is performed
• New pads/batteries are installed if needed
• Pads/batteries expiration dates are recorded
• Device performance is recorded and stored
• The joule output is measured to ensure it is within FDA guidelines

The preventative maintenance package helps to ensure your AED is in proper working condition but the compliance management program is also needed to make sure you are meeting owner requirements.

Benefits of the LifeShield AED Compliance Management Program

The LifeShield AED Compliance Management Program helps ensure your AED unit meets FDA requirements, local state requirements as well as AED manufacturer requirements. The program also has many other benefits such as AED expiration tracking, inspection logging, a 24-hour helpline, EMS notification, AED law and legislation tracking and prescription/medical oversight. With LifeShield you can take the guesswork out of when you need to check your AED, when pads/batteries expire, and you will always be prepared if you ever need to provide your inspection documentation.

In addition to the preventative maintenance and LifeShield packages you can always purchase one-off AED accessories you may need so your AED is always in working condition such as an alarmed wall cabinet, check tags, new batteries/pads and more. Cardio Partners is here to help you always be a responsible and prepared AED owner.
