How to check your AED is good to go

We already think you’re great because you have taken the best step ever by investing in an AED (Automated External Defibrillator). We’re not exaggerating when we say this could be a life-saving decision. We truly hope you never have to use it, but it’s important the AED is ready to go in the event of an emergency.

Do you know where the closest AED available is?

Did you see us on Seven Sharp?

This would have to be our highlight of 2016 so far - being a part of a Seven Sharp TV piece around AEDs and the importance of them. We've been working with the awesome Lauren Davies, who took it upon herself to fundraise in her local community for AEDs, when she discovered there were none in her area.

AEDs in schools

At Heart Saver, we are big on getting AEDs into schools. Sudden Cardiac Arrests (SCAs) don't discriminate - they can happen to anyone, of any fitness, of any age.

  • "Please give our thanks as a staff to your two presenters who were absolutely superb. They were knowledgeable, witty and adaptable. We could not have asked for anything more."
    Gus Bell, Rosmini College
  • "I just wanted to pass on what a wonderful presenter Karl was on our staff first aid course. He was informative, knew his subject matter well and managed us all admirably. As a bunch of teachers we can be quite difficult (especially with potentially quite boring subject matter - no offence intended!). Karl kept us all entertained and had a superb sense of humour that went down very well. He was very approachable and his manner made all of us feel confident with what we are learning. We feel lucky to have had him as a facilitator."
    Jo and the staff at Kamo Intermediate School
  • “Just a note to say Thank you very much to Mike for yesterday’s AED/CPR training. Everyone learnt a lot and hopefully it could help save someone’s life in the future. Mike was a great presenter that everyone could relate to.”
    Sue Dewsnap, ACCO NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
  • “I thought I would drop you a line to say thank you for the fantastic training in how to use our new AED7000 Automated External Defibrillator. Dave was fantastic and everyone has been talking about how much they enjoyed the session.”
    Tom Searle, LEIGH FISHERIES
  • "At Croxley we take the safety of our employees seriously. When we looked at the profile of our workforce, and the numbers that we employ, it was hard to argue against the purchase of an AED unit."
    Tony de Felice, CROXLEY STATIONERY
  • “We have only had our heart defibrillator for the past 2 weeks, it is very reassuring for both staff and students knowing that there is one on the premises, but we all hope that we never have cause to use it.”
    Coleen Carmichael, BIRKENHEAD COLLEGE
  • “We have it up on the wall, ready to go! I did have a query and rang back to ask, the person I spoke to was great, friendly, informative and very friendly, many thanks”
    Debbie Baxter, NELSON COLLEGE
  • “I have found that dealing with Heart Saver has been very easy. It took a bit of time for our company to work through purchasing the units and Mike was very patient. The service was great, and I would recommend Heart Saver to any other company.”
    Delwyn Miles, TAINUI GROUP HOLDINGS LTD
  • “My special thanks to you for the wonderful job you did for our Veterans and for the public of Auckland for ANZAC. The extra time and effort you put in were certainly worthwhile. It is a joy for me to work with such dedicated and talented people. Thank you.”
