What is an AED?
In the case of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), defibrillation using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is the most effective life-saving device. A defibrillator delivers an electric shock to the heart to restore its normal rhythm.
It acts as a bridge between the onset of SCA and professional medical care, providing a chance at life when time is of the essence.
In a cardiac emergency, having a defibrillator on hand is crucial.
Is an AED easy to use?
These devices are designed for ease of use and come with visual and voice guided instructions which provide step-by step guidance to the user. They are simple to use and can be operated by adults and children alike. These simple but sophisticated devices analyse a person’s heart rhythm and advise if a shock is needed. Using an AED does not pose a risk to the user or the person in need of treatment, and legal protections are in place for those who use them.
No training is needed, so you can act quickly.

Got questions? We have answers.
When should I use a defibrillator?
Defibrillators should be used when someone suffers cardiac arrest. Patients in cardiac arrest will collapse, have no pulse, lose consciousness and will not be breathing normally.
Is cardiac arrest the same as a heart attack?
People often use these terms interchangeably, but they are not the same. A heart attack is when blood flow to the heart is blocked, and sudden cardiac arrest is when the heart malfunctions and suddenly stops beating unexpectedly. A heart attack is a “circulation” problem and sudden cardiac arrest is an “electrical” problem. Both are medical emergencies – you should always call 000.
Do I need training to use a defibrillator?
Defibrillators are designed to be used by anyone, no training needed. They come with very clear visual and verbal instructions that guide you through each step of response. Each defibrillator is slightly different though, so it is a good idea to familiarise yourself with the model you have chosen. Our resources section has demonstration videos of all the devices we sell.
How long do the batteries and pads last?
It depends on the make and model of your AED. They will be labelled with an expiry date. We recommend replacing them promptly to make sure your device is always in good working order.
Do I need to get my AED serviced?
AEDs do not need to be serviced, but they do need to be maintained and monitored. Monthly checks need to occur to ensure your device is always in working order. Parts like batteries and pads with expiry dates will need to be replaced from time to time. Our Concierge product takes care of the administration of these tasks for you.
Can I use an AED on a child?
While all AEDS are made with adults in mind, there are paediatric pads and settings that adjust the energy level used in the shock. This makes them suitable for younger children (less than 8 years). The advice from the Australian Resuscitation Council is that any attempt at resuscitation is better than none, so if infant or paediatric settings and pads are not available, rescuers may use adult pads on infants and young children. Apply one pad to the front of the chest and the other to the child’s back so that the pads do not come into contact with one another.
