Maintenance service – Technical inspection of AED defibrillators

From CHF 135.00 Incl. TVA

This service comprises a series of technical checks designed to assess the proper functioning of AED defibrillators. It includes a visual inspection, verification of indicator lights and electrode validity. Tests are carried out using a simulator to measure the device’s response and the intensity delivered during a shock. The procedure is carried out by qualified technicians using appropriate instruments.

Description

Why regular maintenance of AED defibrillators is essential

Although AED defibrillators perform internal self-tests, these are not always sufficient to detect electrode wear, arrhythmia detection reliability or the actual performance of the shock delivered. In Switzerland, the Medical Devices Act (MedDO) requires operators to guarantee the continued functionality of such equipment. In addition, Swissmedic’s Good Practice for Maintenance recommendations stress the importance of regular technical monitoring. Documented maintenance helps to meet legal obligations and enhance plant safety.

Tests carried out during inspection

During each maintenance, our specialized technicians perform a complete examination of the unit. The protocol includes :
  • Testing general device functions
  • Arrhythmia detection simulation (coarse ventricular fibrillation (VFBC), fine ventricular fibrillation (VFBF), ventricular tachycardia (VTAC), atrial fibrillation (AFIB))
  • Simulator ECG test at different heart rates
  • Electric shock simulation and precise measurement of joules delivered
  • Check electrodes for condition and functionality
  • Battery check and charge rate measurement where possible
  • Extraction and storage of technical data, if available
  • Drafting of a report detailing the compliance of measured values with tolerances, as well as the condition of accessories and consumables
This process follows manufacturers’ recommendations and Swiss medical device requirements. It offers complete traceability and facilitates the planning of future controls.

The importance of planned follow-up

Planned maintenance facilitates internal organization. Firstly, it reduces downtime. Secondly, it provides a clear view of equipment status. What’s more, an annual reminder makes it easier to meet deadlines. Last but not least, structured monitoring promotes better allocation of technical resources.

Traceability and document management

Each maintenance report is archived and can be consulted at any time. This provides managers with official proof in the event of an audit. As a result, regulatory compliance is easier to demonstrate. In short, this documentation is a simple, reliable tool for ensuring safety and compliance.

Compliance and standards

Our ECG maintenance strictly complies with international standard IEC 62353, which defines electrical safety test methods for active medical devices. In Switzerland, the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) issues recommendations on the use and maintenance of medical equipment. We also apply manufacturers’ directives and European standards to ensure regulatory compliance of tested devices.
