Why a maintenance agreement for your AED is essential for safety and reliability

Taking out a maintenance agreement for your AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is essential to ensure the reliability and operation of the device in life-threatening situations. An AED can save lives, but only if it is well maintained and always ready for use when every second counts. Below we explain why a maintenance agreement for your AED is so important.

Always ready for emergencies

An AED that does not work when it is needed can have serious consequences. With a maintenance agreement, your AED is regularly inspected and tested by specialized technicians. They check essential components, such as batteries and electrodes, and replace them if necessary. This ensures that the device is always ready for use during a cardiac arrest.

Timely replacement of critical parts

The batteries and electrodes of an AED have a limited lifespan and must be replaced in time. With a maintenance agreement, you do not have to keep track of these expiration dates yourself. The maintenance service monitors the status of these parts and ensures that they are replaced in time, so that your AED remains in perfect condition. This prevents unexpected malfunctions at crucial moments.

Self-tests are not enough

Although many AEDs perform automatic self-tests, these tests do not detect all potential problems. A specialized service provides a more thorough check and performs software updates and calibrations as needed. This ensures that your AED is always up to date with the latest CPR guidelines and technologies.

Updates according to the latest resuscitation guidelines

Resuscitation guidelines change regularly and many AEDs require software updates to meet these new standards. With a maintenance agreement, these updates are automatically performed by qualified technicians. This ensures that your AED always functions according to the latest medical standards.

Handing over responsibility

As the manager of an AED, you have a great responsibility to ensure that the device always works. A maintenance agreement places this responsibility in the hands of experts. This gives you peace of mind, because you know that your AED is professionally maintained and always meets the duty of care.

Fast support in case of malfunctions or use

Even with good maintenance, a malfunction can occur unexpectedly. A maintenance agreement often offers fast support, from remote technical assistance to on-site repairs. After using the AED, the maintenance service ensures that the electrodes are replaced within 4 hours and that the AED is immediately ready for use again.

Long-term cost savings

A maintenance agreement can save you money in the long run. Regular maintenance prevents unexpected and expensive repairs or the need to purchase a new AED due to neglect. This extends the life of your device and minimizes the risk of defects.

Clear reporting and service

With a maintenance agreement, you will receive clear reports on the checks performed and future maintenance. This way, you always have insight into the status of your AED and know exactly when parts have been replaced. This ensures transparency and prevents unexpected surprises.

Conclusion: Choose certainty with an AED maintenance agreement

A maintenance agreement for your AED ensures that the device is always ready for use in life-threatening situations, while taking responsibility off your hands.
