First aid automated external defibrillator is an emergency rescue device and its operating instructions should be followed when using it. As an agent of SKYT® in China, Shouke® has advanced technology and strict quality control to provide customers with satisfactory products.
Frequent first aid automated external defibrillator inspections are an important aspect of ensuring the equipment will operate reliably when needed. The exact frequency of inspections may vary based on agency, manufacturer recommendations, regulatory requirements, or the specific needs of the use environment.
The following are general recommendations:
1. Monthly inspection: Regularly (monthly) perform basic inspections on the first aid automated external defibrillator, including power supply, electrode pads, appearance, voice guidance and self-test functions. This helps ensure the overall condition of the AED and detect potential problems early.
2. Replace electrode pads regularly: Electrode pads usually have a limited validity period and therefore need to be replaced regularly, even if the device is not being used. Please check the expiration date of the electrode pads on the first aid automated external defibrillator and replace them as necessary.
3. Replace batteries regularly: First aid automated external defibrillator batteries also have a certain lifespan. Check the battery status regularly to ensure it is in sufficient condition and replace it promptly when it is about to expire.
4. Inspection after each use: After each use of the first aid automated external defibrillator, a detailed inspection must be carried out, including checking whether the electrode pads are normal, whether the equipment is damaged, and whether the battery needs to be replaced, etc. At the same time, usage is recorded so that maintenance personnel can track the history of the equipment.
5. Temporary inspection: Additional inspection of the first aid automated external defibrillator is required under the following circumstances:
- The device has sustained significant physical damage.
- The device is exposed to extreme temperatures or moisture.
- The equipment has been stored for an extended period of time without being used.
Depending on the first aid automated external defibrillator model, Shouke® suppliers can give different recommendations, so always operate and maintain according to the AED's manual and manufacturer's instructions. Before actually using an AED, it is best to receive relevant training to ensure proper operation and maintenance procedures.
When writing a first aid automated external defibrillator checklist, you want to make sure it covers all aspects to ensure the reliability of the AED device.
Here is an example of an AED checklist that might be more detailed and nuanced:
Basic information of the device:
first aid automated external defibrillator model and manufacturer.
devise serial number.
Purchase date.
Visual inspection:
Check whether the first aid automated external defibrillator shell is complete and has no obvious damage.
Make sure the cables connecting the cord and electrode pads are not damaged, twisted or broken.
Power and display:
Check the battery power indicator to make sure the battery is charging properly.
Make sure the display is normal and no error messages appear.
Electrode pad inspection:
Check the expiration date of the electrode pads to make sure they are not expired.
Verify that the electrode pads are securely connected.
Check that the electrode pads are dry and free of damage or build-up.
Audio and visual guidance:
Test the voice guidance system to ensure that the voice prompts are clear and the volume is moderate.
Check the text and icons on the display to make sure they are easy to understand.
Self-check function:
Confirm whether the first aid automated external defibrillator's self-test function is functioning properly, including whether the self-test report is available.
Make sure the AED can detect and record the device's status.
Action buttons:
Test all buttons to make sure they respond properly.
Make sure the power button, analysis button, and other action buttons are not stuck or damaged.
Power supply and battery:
Check the first aid automated external defibrillator's power supply and make sure it is well connected.
Verify that the battery is sufficient and check the battery expiration date.
First Aid Kits and Accessories:
Confirm that other accessories (such as scissors, gloves) in the AED kit are complete and in good condition.
Maintenance records:
Record the date of each inspection, who performed it, and the problems found.
After the first aid automated external defibrillator is used, record the usage, whether shocks were administered, and related maintenance steps.
Training and documentation:
Check the operating manual that came with your first aid automated external defibrillator to make sure it is the latest version.
Confirm whether the user has received relevant AED training.
Such a detailed checklist ensures a thorough evaluation of the first aid automated external defibrillator equipment, improving the equipment's availability and reliability in emergency situations. Adapt according to needs, regulations and specific use cases.
