Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Use

An AED is a computerized medical device that uses voice prompts, lights, and text messages to tell you the steps to take.

It can:

• Check a person's heart rhythm.
• Recognize a rhythm that requires a shock.
• Advise the rescuer when a shock is needed.

If you use an AED

• Follow the instructions on the AED.
• Follow the steps under Medical Emergencies.

NOTE: If an AED is removed from its mounted location, an alarm will be activated.
