AED Station Inspection Logger
Public AED readiness checks — status indicator, pads/battery expiry, cabinet alarm, signage and registry accuracy; route-based offline log.
New AED station inspection
Monthly documented checks are the program standard (plus after every use); pads/batteries replaced ahead of printed expiry.
Field guide: AED Station Inspection Logger
An AED's entire value is the four minutes after a collapse — survival drops roughly 10% per minute without defibrillation — and program audits keep finding the same readiness killers: expired pads (gel dries; the shock doesn't couple), batteries past date, cabinets blocked by a vending machine, and units that walked away months ago while the wall sign still promises one. The monthly check this logger structures is two minutes per station: status light, expiry dates, kit, access, signage.
The registry panel is the modern half of the program: dispatch-linked AED registries and responder apps (PulsePoint-style) route bystanders to the nearest unit — if its coordinates are right and it actually exists. 'Wrong location vs registry' is therefore a life-safety finding, not data hygiene. Post-use restocking gets a flag because a used unit quietly returned to its cabinet without new pads is rescue-ready in appearance only.
Field tips
- Read the actual expiry dates through the case window — don't trust the inspection tag's transcription from last quarter.
- Walk to each AED from a public entrance as a stranger would: every missing directional sign adds seconds the patient doesn't have.
- Open the cabinet (alarm and all) at least quarterly — stuck doors and dead alarms only reveal themselves to the hand.

Frequently asked questions
Why do AED pads expire?+
The adhesive gel dehydrates through its foil seal over 18–30 months; dried pads couple poorly, raising impedance and degrading the shock. Expiry is printed per set, and 'expired pads' is functionally 'no AED'. Programs stage replacements at the 60-day warning this log's supplies field captures.
Must AED cabinets stay unlocked?+
Yes — public-access defibrillation only works with public access; alarmed (not locked) cabinets are the standard anti-theft compromise. Locked-cabinet findings rank with missing units. Good-Samaritan laws in most jurisdictions protect lay rescuers and owners precisely to keep these devices usable by anyone.
What does the self-test indicator actually verify?+
Modern AEDs self-test daily/weekly: battery health, electronics, software, sometimes pad connection. The visible green/OK is the rollup; red X or chirping means a failed test — typically battery first. The indicator check is the single highest-value second in the monthly walk, but it can't read expiry dates, hence both checks.
Why register AEDs with EMS?+
Dispatchers can direct callers to the nearest registered AED while CPR is in progress, and responder apps alert trained volunteers with locations. Registration with verified GPS coordinates measurably shortens time-to-shock in published studies. This log's program panel exists to keep the registry matching the wall.
