Much media attention has been given to the installation of automated external defibrillators in public places, such as airports, sports arenas and shopping malls, and their successful use by laypersons in emergencies. Yet when companies look into putting together a Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) program, they oftentimes overlook vital aspects associated with the implementation of such a program.
In order to successfully implement an AED program there is more than price shopping involved. There are FDA requirements, AHA recommendations, state and local laws and regulations, training, medical direction, quality assurance, 911 integration, and there’s constant monitoring and maintenance required for an efficient PAD program.
When using Legend for your AED program, we’ll be able to set you up with the following:
PLANNING
Implementing a PAD program requires careful and precise planning. Whether it's for a local youth program or for a national corporation, planning is essential. Our safety consultants can help you plan your PAD project from scratch, such as conducting a thorough site assessment to maximize the effectiveness of your AED program. We’ll help you determine your needs, priorities and locations for AED placement, and carefully put together a PAD program that works for you.
REGULATORY SUPPORT
We invest time and effort into every state’s unique AED laws. Legend will help you meet all federal, state and local regulations on AED acquisition and use. We will do all the research and file all required paper-work for you.
AED UNITS
We will provide you with the automated external defibrillators, which are all small and portable. All AEDs that we carry are easy to operate for anyone with minimal CPR/AED training. They are all standard with voice prompts and visual indicators which tell the rescuer exactly what to do next, so that lifesaving treatment can be given quickly and effectively.
AED & CPR TRAINING
If you need to be trained in the use of an AED or in CPR, we can provide that training. Our instructors are certified by nationally recognized training associations, such as American Heart Association, American Red Cross or the American Safety Health Institute. And because we also track all training dates, you never have to worry about when you need to reschedule training.
MEDICAL DIRECTION & OVERSIGHT
No need to worry about scrambling for a doctor to approve and oversee your program. Legend Safety Solutions will take care of that too. Our in-house medical direction program gives us the advantage of having full control of every step of the PAD oversight.
ACCESSORIES
Legend carries everything you need to start and maintain your AED program. We carry pediatric pads, wall cabinets, AED signage, etc. We will fully equip you with all the necessary items enabling the implementation of your PAD program.
MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
We offer a comprehensive PAD Maintenance Program which can leave you absolutely worry free. We conduct periodic follow-ups making certain that your units are functioning and that your overall program is effective. These follow ups can be done personally or electronically through our web-based maintenance program.
Our maintenance program includes:
- • Making sure that unit is in functioning condition
- • We'll overnight you a unit in the event that one unit needs to be put out of service
- • Making sure that pads have not expired
- • Making sure that batteries have not expired
- • We'll restock your pads and batteries when needed
- • Making sure that training certificates have not expired
- • Filing appropriate paperwork in accordance with every state's legislations
- • Forming 911 integration, in required states
- • Upgrades to AED software whenever available
- • Downloads of data in event when unit is being used
QUALITY ASSURANCE
All client data is stored in Legend’s own PAD software. Every AED and accessory is entered with all relative data including vital expirations dates. All information on safety courses given are stored, including a list of students who attended and the duration for the certificate.
Our unique custom PAD program helps us stay ahead when it comes to quality assurance: making certain that at no time is the client left with expired pads, batteries or medical oversight. We are always in full control of the PAD program.
Despite the fact that we are quite competitive, our goal is quality assurance and customer satisfaction. If it is a quality PAD program that you’re looking for, Legend Safety Solutions is certainly your answer.
