Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Use

An AED is a computerized medical device that uses voice prompts, lights, and text messages to tell you the steps to take.

It can:

• Check a person’s heart rhythm.
• Recognize a rhythm that requires a shock.
• Advise the rescuer when a shock is needed.

If you use an AED


• Follow the instructions on the AED.
• Follow the steps under Medical Emergencies.

NOTE: If an AED is removed from its mounted location, an alarm will be activated that will automatically notify University Police.

Visit the Department of Public Safety AED website to identify the AED nearest to your location.
