Unit Tracking
U.S. only, including U.S. government-owned units:
The Food and Drug Administration requires defibrillator manufacturers and
distributors to track the location of their defibrillators. If your defibrillator has been
sold, donated, lost, stolen, exported, or destroyed, or if it was not obtained
directly from Physio-Control, please notify Physio-Control at 1.800.442.1142,
extension 4530.
General information related to AED tracking:
As a matter of general practice, it is important to maintain accurate records of
defibrillator location. These records will enable you to quickly locate defibrillators
in the event of a product upgrade or recall. Defibrillators should be tracked by
both the manufacturer’s part number and serial number. Internal asset or
tracking numbers may also be useful in maintaining adequate control of
defibrillators.
