Public Access Defibrillation Program

Security is responsible for checking each AED on a daily basis and for documenting these daily checks.  The AED Program Manager will check these daily checklists on a monthly basis to ensure compliance with the Transwestern PAD program.  The AED Program Manager will submit a written update each month to detail the results of this review.

Security will check the following items on each AED each day:

  • Date of Inspection
  • Last Name and/or ID Number of Inspector
  • No Paper Signs on AED Cabinet and No Obstacles in Front of AED
  • Carrying Case Intact
  • LED Readout on AED Reads “OK”
  • Local Alarm Activates When Cabinet is Opened

Security will report any abnormalities to the AED Program Manager for resolution.
