Installation Details

Each AED is wall-mounted inside an alarmed cabinet. An alarm will sound when the door is opened. This alarm serves several purposes including: deterring theft / vandalism, alerting bystanders to summon Lehigh Police / EMS, and alerting CPR/AED trained staff members to provide assistance. Staff members should immediately summon help whenever the alarm sounds… a co-worker is in trouble!

A small sight-glass is located in the upper-right corner of the AED. This allows for inspection of the AED. You should observe a green light flashing every 10 seconds. This indicates that the AED is ready for use. Contact the Lehigh Police if you do not see the flashing light.

In addition to the AED itself, a small red pouch contains response supplies including: a CPR mask, latex gloves, a razor, and absorbent cloth. The Lehigh University Police Department is responsible for care and maintenance of the AED units. This includes replacing the pads and batteries as prescribed.

An American Heart Association course textbook is on permanent reserve at both the Linderman and Fairchild-Martindale circulation desks. This textbook, the same one used in the AED/CPR training course, can be consulted by any interested individual.
