AED stored in a heated outdoor cabinet

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is used in the event of a (suspected) cardiac arrest and can save lives. To ensure that an AED remains operational even in cold weather conditions, it is important to store the device in a heated outdoor cabinet. But why is it so important to store your AED in such a cabinet? We explain it in this blog!


Optimal temperature for an AED


AEDs are sensitive devices, particularly when it comes to the batteries and electrodes. Cold temperatures can cause the battery to drain more quickly, for example. In addition, your AED may indicate a fault if the device has been stored in a cold environment for too long. Naturally, you want to avoid this.
By storing your AED in a heated outdoor cabinet, you ensure that the device is kept at the correct temperature, even during the coldest winter months of the year.

Make your AED accessible 24/7


AEDs are placed in outdoor cabinets in many neighbourhoods and public places. A heated outdoor cabinet without a lock ensures that your AED is accessible 24/7.
This allows bystanders to provide help more quickly in emergency situations. And the faster an AED is used in the event of sudden cardiac arrest, the greater the victim’s chances of survival.


Extend the lifespan of your AED


By placing your AED in a good-quality heated outdoor cabinet, you can also help extend the lifespan of your device. Protecting the AED from temperature fluctuations and moisture helps keep the electrodes and batteries in better condition, reducing maintenance costs and lowering the risk of defects.
An AED is an investment in the safety of your surroundings. It is important to protect it and ensure that the device is always ready for use. A good AED outdoor cabinet can help with this.
