The right housing: Why choosing an AED cabinet matters
The location where you hang your defibrillator largely determines the type of cabinet you need. A cabinet is more than just storage; it actively protects the sensitive electronics and batteries.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Cabinets
Is your AED located in a clean, dry indoor environment? Then a basic indoor cabinet will suffice. Many of our indoor cabinets are equipped with an alarm that sounds when the door is opened. This immediately alerts bystanders that help is needed. However, if an AED is placed outdoors to provide 24/7 access to the neighborhood, a special outdoor cabinet is required. These cabinets are waterproof and often equipped with a heating element. This prevents the battery and electrodes from freezing during cold winter nights, ensuring your AED remains operational.
