Defibrillator Routine Maintenance 

Primedic defibrillators are designed to assist during Sudden Cardiac Arrest. Routine maintenance ensures your defibrillator is always ready to deliver optimal performance in emergencies. 


Maintenance Tips 

Regular maintenance and checks of defibrillators are crucial for extending the lifespan. Follow these steps to keep your defibrillator in good condition: 

  • Routine Inspections: Regularly examine the defibrillator for signs of damage, such as cracks, loose parts, or frayed wires. Ensure the status indicator light confirms functionality.
  • Cleanliness: Keep the defibrillator clean and dust-free. Wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth to prevent dirt buildup. 
  • Monitor Battery Life: Ensure the battery is within its expiration date, replacing if needed. 
  • Check and Replace Electrode Pads: Ensure the electrode pads are sealed and undamaged. Replace them immediately if any damage is detected or if the expiration date is reached.
  • Allow Regular Self-Tests: Primedic HeartSave Y Semi Automatic and YA Fully Automatic defibrillators regularly self-test for functionality. Make sure these tests are performed without errors.  
  • Store Properly: Keep the defibrillator in an easily accessible, climate-controlled environment. 

 

The Importance of Proper Defibrillator Maintenance 

Routine checks and defibrillator maintenance ensure your defibrillator is ready for use at any moment. Sudden Cardiac Arrest happens unexpectedly, so your defibrillator must be fully operational to maximise survival chances. 

  • Defibrillator Reliability: Defibrillators that are well maintained are more likely to function correctly, increasing the chances of a successful defibrillation during emergencies.
