AED Warranty and Registration Guide

Understanding AED Warranty

The warranty requirements for your AED unit may vary depending on the supplier and your region. It is essential to check if your AED requires warranty registration and complete the process accordingly.

Keeping Warranty Records Updated

The supplier from whom you purchased the AED will maintain records of the unit. If you encounter any issues, they can contact you directly. To ensure seamless communication:

• Notify your supplier of any address changes or updates.
• Ensure your warranty registration is completed if required.
• Have key details ready, such as the serial number, which can be found on the back of the AED unit.

Registering Your AED on The Circuit

In the UK, AED owners can register their device on The Circuit, the national defibrillator network. While registration is optional, it is highly recommended to improve emergency response times.

Why Register on The Circuit?

By registering your AED, emergency services can locate nearby defibrillators when someone calls 999. The system allows you to specify:

• Whether the AED is for private use or accessible to the public.
• If the AED is located inside or in an outdoor cabinet with 24/7 access.
• The access code for locked cabinets.
• Details such as pad expiry dates, battery life, and the serial number.

Maintaining and Updating AED Records

For connected AEDs, monitoring is made easier with Internet or mobile network connectivity. Regular updates ensure the AED remains operational:

• Use The Circuit dashboard to update availability, such as working hours for indoor units.
• Confirm device status and ensure the AED is ready for use at all times.
• Adjust settings for public access and availability during holidays.

Final Thoughts

Registering your AED and keeping warranty details up to date ensures quick access during emergencies and maintains compliance with best practices for AED maintenance. If your AED is placed outdoors, ensure it is accessible 24/7 to maximise its life-saving potential.
