AED Sync™️

The complexities of automated external defibrillator (AED) ownership unfortunately get overlooked even with the best of intentions. Battery expiration, pad usage, recalls, device obsolescence, and AED software updates can all jeopardize the effectiveness of your AED management program. When lives are on the line, you can’t leave your organization’s AED functionality to chance. Rely on the pre-EMS industry’s trusted AED monitoring and management solution, Premedics AED Sync™️, to ensure your preparedness.

that choose to implement and maintain their own AED programs are not ready to handle medical emergencies involving sudden cardiac arrest three years later.

Ease the Burden of AED Maintenance

Adding automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to your safety program is proactive and responsible. However, a “set-it-and-forget-it” attitude undermines your commendable goal to protect lives. A comprehensive AED management program is much more robust than simply hanging AEDs on the wall!

Safety and EHS Directors have the responsibility of maintaining these Class III medical devices, which entails multiple ongoing considerations like:

Accessory Expiration

Multiple AED components, including pads and batteries, have regular expiration cycles. Pad conductivity and adhesive gel effectiveness decrease over time and usually require replacement after a period of two years. AED batteries similarly lose charge after a few years, although the time frame varies by defibrillator type.

Equipment Obsolescence

AEDs, like any technology, have a finite lifespan. They also experience a rapid pace of advancement, which is crucial to maintain in the healthcare space. What was once considered cutting-edge may become outdated when innovative features and designs, such as Wi-Fi-enabled AEDs or touchscreen capabilities, enter the marketplace.

Software Updates

Manufacturers periodically release software updates to enhance the overall performance of AEDs. These updates may include improvements to the device's diagnostic capabilities, energy delivery algorithms, and user interface. Organizations must implement these updates as required by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

Supply Chain Delays

Organizations seeking replacement accessories or new defibrillators may face supply chain disruptions. Specific manufacturers often produce specific components in various regions, making it difficult to quickly receive critical pieces to keep AEDs functioning. A lapse in AED coverage may then compromise your organization’s compliance.

Servicing Capability

There has to be a system to efficiently diagnose, maintain, and track expiration dates for each AED. It is often overwhelming for an in-house individual to monitor repairs, which only increases in difficulty with every AED onsite. Manufacturer representatives can also be challenging to reach on the phone to assist with troubleshooting and ordering accessories.

Failure to comply with state and local Good Samaritan Laws and FDA requirements, as well as American Heart Association's (AHA) recommendations, leaves your organization susceptible to legal repercussions. With the challenges of accurate, manual, long-term tracking and your safety staff’s competing obligations, handling AED maintenance and servicing in-house can be a considerable commitment.
AED expired pads and low battery

Almost half of reported AED failures to the FDA occur due to expired pads and low battery power.

I had never owned an AED device and didn't know what it took to maintain them. Blake explained it’s pretty simple: ‘If you use the pads, we send you new pads. If the light says the battery is bad, we send you a new unit.’ But I didn’t know anything about this. So Premedics gave me a little bit of comfort in knowing that they knew the device and I could rely upon them so I didn't have to learn. I didn't have to worry that I was doing the wrong thing with the device, because again, it's a life-saving device it’s not like a go-cart tire.
