10. Deployment
If the defibrillator is used by the ambulance service, you will receive an email informing you that
your defibrillator has been used and taken out of service on The Circuit. You will need to check your
defibrillator, put back into position and perform a status check on The Circuit to make it Emergency
Ready. If you're unable to locate your defibrillator, or have a query regarding your defibrillator being
deployed, you will be required to contact your local Ambulance Service for assistance.
Defibrillators should be marked clearly with a unit number, name of the Parish and contact number.
In the event that it is deployed, it will be removed from site by the ambulance service, and this is
therefore essential for tracking purposes.
Following deployment, checks need to take place to ensure that the defibrillator has been replaced
properly and that the battery is working, the pads are in date and the deposable items are present.
The defibrillator should also be cleaned in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
In general terms, this should include the following steps;
1. Wash hands
2. Apply gloves (if available)
3. Inspect defibrillator for any damage, dirt or contamination
4. Remove defibrillator from protective case (if not done so already), do not remove battery.
5. Clean all outside surfaces with a disinfectant wipe, take care not to allow fluid to access ports or
battery connections
6. Remove gloves and wash hands
7. Inspect/test unit for readiness and put back in protective case and then return to cabinet
