Comprehensive AED Oversight Program Management Protects Companies from AED Related Lawsuits

As the number of organizations introducing AED’s (automatic external defibrillators) to prepare for medical emergencies grows, so too are the number of lawsuits against organizations that do not follow proper AED maintenance.

To meet the increasing demands of proper AED program management, Annuvia has launched an enhanced full-service AED Oversight Program for all defibrillator models.

Annuvia combines years of specialized healthcare and emergency response knowledge with a simple AED management solution for HR departments and organizations.

“Our responsibility is to assist clients in achieving a fully legally compliant AED program to protect them from unnecessary liability or negligence claims. When organizations can prove that they have been properly maintaining and testing their AED, they will likely be protected even in the unfortunate event of an AED malfunction,” says Rebecca Spector, Client Services at Annuvia.com (http://www.annuvia.com).

Businesses and organizations with AED’s are required to adhere to a list of compliances:

• Have an AED prescription
• Register the AED with the local Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
• Have a licensed physician sign off on and approve the AED program
• Have at least one individual trained in CPR/AED onsite at all times
• Complete a specific post-even review if the AED is used
• Perform monthly maintenance and record-keeping on the AED
