Abstract

Section 403.51

Registration Requirement; Other Requirements

August 1, 2014

A person or entity who purchases or obtains a public access AED shall register that device with an AED registry within 30 working days of receiving the AED. The following information for each AED should be provided: (1) AED manufacturer, model, and serial number; (2) specific location where the AED will be kept; and (3) the title, address, and telephone number of a person in management at the business or organization where the AED is located. Any changes in the information provided in the registration must be reported within 30 working days of the change. The AED owner must also reasonably maintain the AED, including replacement of dead batteries and pads/electrodes, and comply with all manufacturer's recall and safety notices. Further, the owner shall develop an emergency response plan appropriate for the nature of the facility the AED is intended to serve.

We make every attempt to ensure the accuracy of our research regarding automated external defibrillator (AED) unit laws in each state across the country, however, with laws varying from state-to-state and even on a local basis, as you might imagine, staying abreast of constant changes is a very challenging process. As such, it's important to note that our findings should be used for informational purposes only and that any specific AED laws or AED requirements for your AED program should be developed between you and your legal counsel. If you have any suggestions, information, or tips on new or pending AED unit legislation that you feel might help improve our AED requirement pages, please contact us to let us know! By spreading knowledge about how to build and manage legally compliant AED programs, we hope to improve survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest.
