Ensure Your AED Is Ready When It Matters Most
EFAP Australia provides professional AED Inspection Services to help ensure your Automated External Defibrillator (AED) remains operational and ready for use in an emergency.
While many AEDs perform automatic self-tests, manufacturers still recommend regular visual inspections in accordance with their operating manuals. An AED is a critical life-saving device used during sudden cardiac arrest, and routine inspections help identify issues that could affect its performance when needed most.
Common Issues Identified During Inspections
- Expired AED batteries
- Expired electrode pads
- Battery not correctly installed
- Electrode pads not connected
- Mechanical or system error indicators displayed
- Missing or expired consumables
- AED difficult to locate due to inadequate signage
The WorkSafe Tasmania First Aid in the Workplace Code of Practice recommends that AEDs and other first aid equipment are regularly inspected and maintained to ensure they remain effective and ready for use.
