Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are invaluable tools in saving lives during sudden cardiac emergencies. However, their effectiveness hinges on their readiness and maintenance. Regular checks and proper management are essential to ensure that your AEDs are rescue-ready when needed. In this guide, we'll explore how to perform AED checks and introduce TrackMyAED, a powerful tool for managing AEDs regardless of the scale.
