      AED Inspections

      EFAP Australia carries out an AED Inspection Service. Although many AEDs have a built-in testing mechanism or self-test, they still require a visual inspection per their operation manuals. An AED is an essential piece of equipment used in a cardiac arrest. An inspection service ensures that your AED is in good working order and ready to respond in an emergency.

      Common faults picked up during an inspection are:

      • Battery out of date
      • AED pads are out of date
      • Battery not inserted
      • PADs not connected
      • AED showing a mechanical error sign
      • Consumables missing or out of date
      • Unable to locate the AED – no signage
      • Low confidence levels in using an AED

      More information on AEDs can be found in First Aid in the Workplace: Code of practice
