Patient Preparation Kit — AED Response Kit
When a Sudden Cardiac Arrest occurs, seconds count. The patient’s chest must be bare, dry and clean for defibrillation pads to adhere correctly and deliver an effective shock. This kit contains everything a rescuer needs to prepare a patient quickly — all in a compact carry case that clips directly onto your AED case so it’s always where it needs to be.
| Item | Why It’s Needed |
|---|---|
| Gloves | Infection control for the rescuer |
| Trauma shears | Quickly cut through clothing to expose the chest |
| Razor | Chest hair prevents pads adhering — shaving ensures a good contact |
| Towel | Dry the chest — wet skin reduces pad adhesion and shock effectiveness |
| Alcohol wipes | Clean the chest surface for optimal pad contact |
| Face shield | Infection control barrier for rescue breathing during CPR |
| Carry case with clip | Attaches directly to your AED case — always accessible, never misplaced |
Compatible with all AED brands and models. An essential addition to any AED package — particularly recommended for workplaces, schools and sporting clubs where a rapid, well-equipped response is critical. Questions? Call 1300 729 575 or visit our AED servicing page for our full maintenance program.
