Rise in Defibrillator Failure Due to Improper Care

The number of defibrillators around the UK is on the rise. With a number of high-profile cases, such as Fabrice Muamba and Sir Ranulph Fiennes, people have become aware more aware of the risks of cardiac arrest and how an AED (automated external defibrillator) saves lives in this situation.

However, many of these defibrillators have been sold without a proper maintenance and service package or even full instruction on how to properly care for the defibrillator.

Essential Defibrillator Care

Although many devices conduct a self test regularly, this often will not be enough as proven by the latest statistic that over 1 in 5 defibrillators fail due to improper maintenance.
