Frequently Asked Questions About Defibrillators

A fully automatic defibrillator delivers a shock automatically if required, while a semi-automatic device prompts the user to press a button to administer the shock. Both provide clear voice instructions and are designed for ease of use in an emergency.

AEDs are designed to be simple to operate with voice and visual prompts, so formal training is not required. However, CPR and defibrillator training is recommended to increase confidence and effectiveness in an emergency.

Pads and batteries have expiry dates and must be replaced as recommended by the manufacturer, typically every 2–5 years or after use. Keeping spares on hand ensures your AED is always ready.

Defibrillators should be placed in highly visible, accessible locations where people gather, such as workplaces, schools, gyms, and community centres. They should be easy to access within a few minutes of a potential cardiac arrest.

Yes, many AEDs are safe for use on children and infants when fitted with paediatric pads or switched to the paediatric mode. Always check the manufacturer’s guidance for specific age or weight recommendations.

There is no legal requirement for UK workplaces to have a defibrillator on site. However, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommends including AED provision in your first aid needs assessment, especially if your workforce is large or at higher risk. Having an AED available can greatly improve survival rates in the event of sudden cardiac arrest.
