Tips for Identifying and Checking an AED

When you find your nearest AED, here’s what to look out for:

✅ Is it clearly visible and easy to access in an emergency?

✅ Is it in date? (Pads and batteries have expiration dates and must be replaced regularly.)

✅ Are the pads and batteries fully charged? (Some AEDs are solar-powered or battery-operated — check the indicator light if present.)

✅ Is the AED cabinet locked or alarmed? (Many make a loud alarm sound when opened – this is normal and should never deter you from using it in an emergency.)

For AED Owners and Site Managers

If you are responsible for maintaining a public or private AED, please ensure:

🔋 Batteries are charged or regularly replaced.
📆 Pads are in date and suitable for both adults and children, if possible.
🧰 The AED bag contains essential items, including:
- Medical scissors (to cut clothing)
- Disposable gloves
- A CPR face shield or mask
- A small towel or cloth (to dry the chest)
- A razor (to shave chest hair if needed)

Regularly inspect your AED station and consider registering it with national or local AED networks to make it more discoverable.

In an Emergency: How to Use an AED

If you witness someone collapse or find an unconscious person:

Call emergency services (112 or 999).
Send someone to get the nearest AED or grab it yourself if alone.
Turn on the AED — it will talk you through every step.
Follow the voice prompts exactly — it tells you when to attach pads, when to stand back (!), whether to shock, and when to perform CPR.

Don’t be afraid — the AED will not deliver a shock unless it is needed.
