With Wi-Fi connection, informatio from your daily, weekly, or monthly AED self tests can be transferred and recorded to helpp keep you in compliance. 

 

Depending on your AED model, it may be able to track and test:

  • Power status

  • If pads/electrodes are connected
  • ECG, CPR and Audio circuitry
  • Battery and pad expiration dates
  • Microprocessor hardware or software

#3 You Can Help the Professionals

Critical data can be transferred to medical professionals and first responders quickly and wirelessly. This data helps professionals get a clearer picture on what happened during the emergency prior to their contact with the patient.

Who might want a Wi-Fi AED?

Many types of businesses and organizations can benefit from a Wi-Fi AED. Situations where a Wi-Fi AED is helpful include companies that:

  • Have multiple AEDs on location: Schools, large office buildings, business and university campuses, etc. Having an AED that can automatically report it is ready saves you the time to check each AED personally. 
  • Have frequent employee turnover or have different employees on-location: Sorting out and identifying who is in charge to check the AED on-site can become confusing if the people at that location frequently change. Wi-Fi connection helps add peace of mind that the AED is ready.

Still, others enjoy having the latest technology and the extra peace of mind that their AED is ready in an emergency.
