When considering storage for your defibrillator, it's important to ensure your device remains protected but visible. Effective storage ensures your defibrillator and its accessories are kept safe. The storage solution you pick will depend on the environment you intend to keep your defibrillator in and whether it's indoors or outdoors. When considering the placement of your defibrillator, you should ideally choose a central location for prompt access.
Indoor Defibrillator Storage
The AED Armor Illuminated High Impact Perspex Indoor Cabinet is an ideal indoor storage solution for any defibrillator. Knowing where to find your nearest defibrillator saves time in an emergency. AED Armor's High Impact Perspex cabinet not only ensures your defibrillator is stored safely indoors prior to use, but it also allows your life-saving device to remain visible to bystanders.
The cabinet displays simple instructions for responders to follow as guidance during an emergency, so they can feel confident in the treatment they're delivering.
Delivering treatment within 3-5 minutes after the person has collapsed increases their chance of survival from approximately 6% to 74%. These statistics alone highlight the importance of defibrillators being ready to use and accessible.
Ensuring passersby are aware of your defibrillator and making it easily retrievable may be the difference between life or death. The AED Armor Illuminated High Impact Perspex Indoor Cabinet is suitable for any make and model of defibrillator. The cabinet lights up through a 3-pin plug to highlight the presence of a life-saving defibrillator and the cabinet door has a magnetic closure.
We also offer a range of other indoor cabinets and brackets suitable for all defibrillators to be kept indoors. Visit the Storage & Signage section of our website to explore more ways to protect your device and keep it visible.
Outdoor Defibrillator Storage
Public access defibrillators may be stored outdoors to make them available 24/7. Manufacturers state you should not store your defibrillator in temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius. Storing your device incorrectly could make your defibrillator less effective in an emergency. If you plan to store your defibrillator outdoors, an outdoor cabinet is required to protect your defibrillator from harsh weather conditions. The heating elements of these cabinets ensure your defibrillator remains in a constant working condition.

There is an optional lock feature to provide extra security for your device.
Prior to purchasing a locked cabinet, you must contact your local ambulance service for the code required in your area. This information needs to be provided to the team at defibshop to ensure your cabinet is shipped with the required pre-set code.
