AED Sign 300 x 400mm - Rigid Plastic Defibrillator Sign

An AED sign in rigid plastic, 300 x 400mm, marking the location of a defibrillator. In a cardiac arrest the single biggest variable anyone can control is how long it takes to get the AED to the patient - and that starts with whether a bystander can see where it is without asking.

• 300 x 400mm, readable from a distance
• Rigid plastic, suited to indoor walls and sheltered outdoor mounting
• Green and white emergency information styling with the standard AED symbol
• Identifies the defibrillator location at a glance

Where to mount an AED sign

Directly above or beside the cabinet, and then again wherever someone has to make a decision about which way to go - a corridor junction, a lift lobby, the entrance to a large floor. Mount it high enough to be seen over a crowd, because the moment it matters there will be one. Survival in an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest falls sharply for every minute without defibrillation, so the sign is not decoration; it is the difference between a bystander finding the unit in thirty seconds and not finding it at all. Use the green and white emergency information convention set out in AS 1319 rather than red, which is reserved for fire equipment. And check the view periodically - signs get blocked by stacked stock, propped doors and new partitions far more often than anyone expects.

Common uses

Workplaces, gyms and sports clubs, shopping centres, schools, community halls, aircraft and transport hubs, and anywhere an AED is installed. Signpost the route out with an exit sign as well. Pair it with your first aid supplies, or see the resuscitation equipment range at MediBC.
