1. Is an AED required in schools?
Many U.S. states mandate an AED for school campuses. Even where it’s not required, having one can save lives during sudden cardiac arrest emergencies.
2. What features should I look for in a school AED?
For schools, choose an AED with pediatric pad support, clear voice prompts, long battery life, and a rugged design—models like the Physio-Control AED meet these needs well.
3. How much does an AED defibrillator cost for schools?
The AED defibrillator cost ranges from $1,200 to $2,500 depending on the brand, features, and whether it includes extras like cabinets or responder kits.
4. Where can I buy an AED defibrillator for my school?
You can buy an AED directly from our website. We offer curated AED defibrillator for sale bundles built specifically for schools, with fast shipping.
5. What’s included in a School AED Bundle?
Each bundle typically includes an AED automated defibrillator, adult and pediatric pads, battery, cabinet, signage, and a CPR responder kit to ensure compliance and readiness.
6. Do school staff need training to use an AED?
While training is encouraged, most modern AEDs like AED Physio Control devices are designed for untrained users with voice and visual prompts for guidance.
7. Are pediatric pads included in school AED bundles?
Yes. Because schools serve children, all our AED for school bundles include pediatric pads or devices with child-mode functionality.
8. Can an AED be shared across school buildings?
Ideally, each major building should have its own unit. AEDs should be accessible within 3 minutes—so sharing one across distant buildings isn’t recommended.
9. How often should school AEDs be inspected or maintained?
Most AEDs perform daily self-checks. However, schools should visually inspect units monthly and replace pads and batteries before
expiration.
10. What’s the difference between an AED and an automated defibrillator?
There’s no difference—AED stands for Automated External Defibrillator. These devices analyze heart rhythm and guide users to deliver a shock if needed.
