Automated external defibrillators generally perform self-tests designed to detect certain faults. However, this does not relieve the company of the need to regularly monitor the condition of the device, its accessories and its installation environment.<\/p>\n

A discharged battery, expired electrodes, a damaged cabinet or a status indicator signalling a fault may compromise the availability of the equipment when it is needed.<\/p>\n

Maintenance helps to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • identify consumables approaching their expiry date;<\/li>\n
  • detect a visible fault or one reported by the device;<\/li>\n
  • check the integrity of the equipment;<\/li>\n
  • anticipate necessary replacements;<\/li>\n
  • maintain a record of inspections;<\/li>\n
  • ensure the ongoing tracking of one or more AEDs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
