1. Click the ‘Get Form’ button to access the Defibrillator Maintenance Checklist. This will open the form in your online document editor.
2. Begin by checking the placement of the AED. Ensure that it is visible, accessible, and unobstructed, and located near a phone. Mark this field as 'ok' if it meets these criteria.
3. Verify the battery installation by inspecting the battery compartment. Provide any necessary comments regarding the battery status.
4. Check that the green status/service indicator light is flashing. If it is not, note the absence of a red flashing light or audible service alarm in the comments section.
5. Inspect the exterior components and carry case for any faults. Document your findings in the provided section.
6. Make sure there are two sets of AED electrodes/pads available. Enter any comments if this requirement is not met.
7. Check the expiration dates on both the electrodes/pads and the battery, and note these in the relevant fields.
8. Review the Basic Life Support (BLS) kit. Ensure it includes a pocket mask with a one-way valve, examination gloves, razors, paramedic shears, and a towel. Document the status of the BLS kit accordingly.
9. Confirm that a BLS prep kit is included with the AED and check that a pocket mask or other barrier device is present with the AED.
10. If the AED is stored in an alarmed cabinet, ensure that the alarm is functioning and note this in the comments.
11. When performing maintenance checks, avoid turning the AED on to prevent premature battery drainage. If the status indicator is flashing green, the device is functioning properly.
12. Once all fields have been filled out and reviewed, proceed to save your changes, download the completed checklist, print it for records, or share it with relevant parties.
