Mounting and using an AED cabinet in practice
Before buying, compare the dimensions of your defibrillator together with its bracket against the maximum interior dimensions: 23 x 31 x 9.5 cm. The alarm is battery-powered (3 × LR44), so take this into account when checking the cabinet. If you plan to use seals, use the prepared mounting holes.
The cabinet is there to keep the AED on site and visible at the moment of cardiac arrest. In that situation, first make sure you are safe, call for help on 999 or 112 and start CPR. A bystander taking action can decide whether the casualty survives. How to use the device is described in the article on the automated external defibrillator AED. You can read about the rules for making the call in the text on the emergency number 112 and calling for help.
