How often should an AED be serviced in Ireland?

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and your organisation’s own risk and governance arrangements. Continue routine visual and status checks between professional service visits. A planned service should verify the device, pads, battery, accessories, location and records, with the exact method matched to the make and model.

How long do AED pads last?

AED pads carry a printed expiry date and their usable life varies by manufacturer and model. Do not assume that unused pads remain suitable indefinitely: the adhesive and conductive gel can deteriorate. Record the expiry date and order compatible replacements early.

Ask about replacement pads
03 · AED guidance

How long does an AED battery last?

Battery life varies substantially by AED, battery type, self-test pattern, storage conditions and any previous use. Use the manufacturer’s stated life and the device status indicator rather than a generic estimate. Replace a battery when indicated and keep its date and status in the AED record.

Can an AED be stored outside in Ireland?

Yes, but it needs a cabinet and installation suited to the AED and the Irish environment. Consider temperature management, weather resistance, mains power, visibility, public access, lighting, monitoring and connectivity. Confirm that the selected AED fits and remains within its specified storage conditions.

Where should a school locate its AED?

Choose a visible and quickly accessible position known to staff, available during the hours the school and facilities are used, and close to the areas of greatest activity. Consider sports facilities and after-hours access as well as the main building, then support the location with clear signage and an agreed checking routine.

What happens when AED pads expire?

Expired pads may not adhere or conduct as intended, so they should be replaced with the correct compatible set before the expiry date. Keep the AED available while replacements are being arranged and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Never open a sealed pad pack simply to inspect the pads.

Arrange a consumables check

How much does an AED cost in Ireland?

The device is only one part of the budget. The final cost depends on model and configuration, automatic or semi-automatic operation, cabinet, signage, installation, training, monitoring, replacement consumables and ongoing servicing. Ask for a complete lifecycle quotation so the comparison is like for like.

Automatic vs semi-automatic AED — what’s the difference?

Both types analyse the heart rhythm and only advise or deliver a shock when indicated. A fully automatic AED delivers the shock after warning the rescuer; a semi-automatic AED tells the rescuer to press the shock button. The best choice should reflect the setting, users, governance and training plan.
