AED Maintenance / Defibrillator Servicing by the Defibshop
It is vital to maintain AEDs (defibrillators) to ensure they are always in good order to respond
should they be needed for a Sudden Cardiac Arrest. While you should check your AEDs regularly,
a more thorough professional service and maintenance are recommended annually.
Having a proper provider undertake this work ensures your AEDs are in good order.
From a company/organisation perspective,
it minimises the risk that your AED might not respond as expected when needed.
Our team includes
professionals such as fully registered and practising Intensive Care Paramedics
who use defibrillators and have worked successfully on patients with Sudden Cardiac Arrest!
Our servicing and maintenance offers the following:
- Review of all AEDs.
- Review to see if the units are operating according to manufacturer standards.
- Review of the defibrillation pads (Replacement if required)
- Review of the battery (Replacement if needed)
- Review of the AED housing / alarm.
- A ‘tag‘ detailing the service will be added to the AED for your records and reference.
- Once completed, a full report will be sent via PDF, detailing all you need to keep on record for your AED.
- After that, you’ll have access to our 24/7 support, including all customers engaging in our service and maintenance program.
- Note: If Pads/Batteries are required, they are replaced on-site at an extra charge.

Our servicing and maintenance service is not simply a
“Check the green indicator and pads expiry” and “It’s all good.”
As your unit(s) have been serviced by testing / checking / tagging all AEDs, you will receive a thorough report.
This report provides all the information about the service and is helpful at times, such as WH&S and equipment auditing.
Additionally, we review your AED and CPR signage and replace or add where applicable.
Standard signage/stickers are included in the work undertaken.
Here is a brief look at why we recommend professional servicing and maintenance of your AEDs:
- We’ve found AEDs with expired pads — up to three or four years expired!
- Same as above for batteries!
- We’ve found paediatric pads in an AED — no adult pads available. Paediatric pads cannot be used on an adult patient!
- We’ve found non-branded batteries in AEDs — these may not provide the energy required for the AED to shock the patient!
- We’ve found defib pads opened accidentally and then wrapped in kitchen plastic wrap! If left in this condition, they will simply dry out and not be useful to a patient if needed.
Above are just a few examples of why professionals need to review your AED equipment.
Our team include professionals who do and have used defibrillators!
They have sound knowledge of how the AED works and will ensure your AED is in rescue-ready mode for any Sudden Cardiac Arrest you may have on-site! We can tailor a plan to assist you with your AEDs.
Whether it is one unit for your sports club, church, or office or 10, 50, or even hundreds
