We created this AED maintenance checklist to help you ensure your defibrillators are always emergency-ready. This template provides a structured approach to documenting critical inspection points, from verifying status indicators to checking electrode pad expiration dates.

When integrated into your regular safety protocols, this checklist creates accountability and helps prevent the devastating scenario of equipment failure during a cardiac emergency. The American Heart Association reports that properly maintained AEDs can increase survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest by nearly 40% compared to CPR alone but only if the devices are functional when needed. This template helps guarantee that readiness.
