Organizations managing AEDs across several sites often find that without a deliberate system, it becomes surprisingly easy to lose track of exactly which device is where, and what condition it's in.
A Simple Spreadsheet Beats No System
At minimum, a shared spreadsheet listing each device's location, model, install date, and next expiry date gives facilities teams a single source of truth, even without dedicated software.
Assign Clear Ownership Per Site
Each location should have one named person responsible for that site's device status checks, reporting into a central facilities contact — ambiguity about ownership is where tracking systems quietly fail.
Standardize Your Check Frequency Across Sites
Applying the same inspection schedule across every location, rather than letting each site set its own pace, keeps your overall program genuinely consistent.
Connected Devices Can Automate Part of This
Some current-generation AEDs, like the LIFEPAK CR2, support remote status reporting — worth considering specifically for organizations managing many sites, where manual tracking becomes harder to sustain.
Review the System Itself Periodically
Even a good tracking system needs an occasional audit to confirm it's still being followed in practice, not just existing in theory.
