Renting an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a cost-effective way for businesses, health professionals and event organisers to be prepared for an emergency. 

This approach enhances safety and meets regulatory compliance standards while keeping costs manageable across the rental period. To ensure an efficient process, below is an overview of the steps to renting a defibrillator. 

Renting a Defibrillator with defibshop: An Overview  

1. Research defibrillator models and rental packages 

The first step to renting a defibrillator, regardless of your specific needs or situation, is to conduct thorough research on the models offered and the various rental packages available. This is a crucial step, as defibrillator models vary depending on the circumstances. 

For example, the HeartSine 350P Semi-Automatic Defibrillator can be used by those with minimal training, while the ZOLL AED 3 Defibrillator is more technically advanced and allows the user to have more control.

At defibshop, there are a few factors that influence the cost of renting a defibrillator: 

• Model of defibrillator: Some defibrillators offer more advanced features, so this can affect the rental price. 
• Length of defibrillator rental agreement: Rental agreements which are longer may offer lower daily rates. 

Choosing a model which suits your environment is key, so ensure you understand the different features of each defibrillator. For more information, please visit our defibrillator rentals and pricing page to help you with your decision.

3. Prepare for the dispatch and delivery of your defibrillator 

Our defibrillator packages take into account the time frame needed for your defibrillator and any expected delays. 

For an efficient delivery, we recommend that you keep your team and any additional members up to date in case you are unable to respond promptly to our communication attempts. This ensures smooth coordination and avoids any delays in receiving and deploying the rented defibrillator when needed. 

 

4. Check the defibrillator is fully functional upon arrival 

Once you have received the defibrillator, ensure you check the model is fully functional upon arrival. Below are a few recommended safety checks to follow: 

• Power on and self test: Power on the defibrillator and allow it to perform a self-test to verify all systems are operational. 
• Battery status: Check the battery level and ensure it is fully charged or within acceptable operating parameters. 
• Device integrity: Check the physical condition of the defibrillator for any signs of damage or wear that could affect functionality. 
• Accessories: Verify that all necessary accessories, such as cables, the carrying case, batteries and replacement pads are included and in good condition.
• Documentation: Review the user manual and any provided documentation for instructions, maintenance requirements and emergency protocols.  

Performing these checks ensures that the defibrillator is ready for immediate use in case of an emergency. 

 

5. Adhere to the guidelines and safety protocols 

Defibrillator models vary based on the different environments they are used in and the training of the user. 

Ensure that the user adheres to the guidelines and safety protocols specific to the model you have rented. 

This includes handling during use and response procedures during a Sudden Cardiac Arrest. Our rental packages include AED maintenance, such as regular health checks and replacement pads and batteries, to ensure you can rely on the defibrillator’s readiness at all times, although, this does not negate regular visual checks. For more information about maintenance included within our rental packages, visit our Rental Maintenance and Compliance page.

 

6. Return your defibrillator to defibshop 

Finally, return your defibrillator to defibshop at the end of the rental period, ensuring all components and accessories are included and notify us once the return has been shipped. 

Consider taking photographic evidence once you receive your defibrillator and at the end of the rental period to ensure you have returned all necessary accessories and equipment. In case we need to contact you, please consider any emails you may receive from defibshop.  

By following these routine procedures, you can be prepared to respond to a Sudden Cardiac Arrest efficiently. Should you have any questions about any of our defibrillator rental packages, please get in touch with our team.
