This information is important to schools, churches, nonprofits, workplaces, fire departments, EMS agencies and other organizations who own an AED.
The FDA is now requiring all AEDs to be premarket approved, which means prior to being marketed to the public, AEDs must be approved by the FDA. Any AEDs that are not on the approved list should be taken out of service or replaced with an AED on the list.
Here is a letter from the FDA, explaining the new approval system.
Here is the most recent approved list. The list may be downloaded by clicking on the “Export Excel” button at the top of the table.
More information from the FDA on AEDs can be found here.
Please check any AEDs you own to ensure they are on the approved list. Replace or retire any that are not on the list. Old AEDs may be recycled with your electronics. If you have any questions, contact the Program Agency at 607-699-1367.
