Taking out a maintenance agreement for an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is essential to ensure the device's usability and operation in life-threatening situations. An AED can save lives, but only if it is properly maintained and always ready for use when every second counts. Read below why it is wise to opt for a maintenance agreement for your AED.
Always available in emergency situations
An AED that does not function properly when it is needed can have fatal consequences. With a maintenance agreement, you ensure that your AED is regularly checked by specialists. They inspect, test and replace parts such as batteries and electrodes. This guarantees that the device is always ready for use when someone in your area suffers a cardiac arrest.
Timely replacement of batteries and electrodes
Batteries and electrodes of an AED have a limited lifespan and must be replaced on time. With a maintenance agreement, you do not have to keep an eye on this yourself. The maintenance service monitors the status of these crucial components and replaces them on time, so that your AED always works properly. This prevents unexpected malfunctions at critical moments.
Self-tests alone are not enough
Many AEDs perform self-tests to check the status of the device, but these self-tests do not always detect all possible problems. A specialist service provides a more in-depth check, which also includes software updates and calibrations. This keeps your AED in top condition and compliant with the latest guidelines and technologies.
New resuscitation guidelines and software updates
Resuscitation guidelines change over time, and many AEDs require software updates to meet these new guidelines. 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.
Reduction of responsibility
When you manage an AED, you have a great responsibility to ensure that the device always works. By concluding a maintenance agreement, you place this responsibility in the hands of experts. This gives you peace of mind, knowing that your AED is always professionally maintained and that you meet the duty of care for a life-saving device.
Fast support in case of malfunctions or when using the AED
Should a fault occur despite good maintenance, a maintenance agreement often offers fast support. This can vary from remote technical support or on-site repair, we ensure that your AED is quickly operational again. After use, we replace the electrodes within 4 hours and make the AED ready for use immediately.
Long term cost savings
Although a maintenance agreement is an investment, it can save you money in the long run. Regular checks prevent unexpected and expensive repairs or the need to purchase a new AED due to lack of maintenance. It extends the life of your device and minimizes the chance of defects.
Clear service and maintenance plans
With a maintenance agreement, you will receive clear reports of the work carried out and planned maintenance. This way, you always have insight into the status of your AED and you know exactly when certain parts have been replaced. This ensures transparency and prevents unpleasant surprises.
