I'm trying to find the best deal for purchasing 1 or possible 2 AED's for our church, as part of the medical side of our safety ministry. I have looked at the offer on this site reference the possible free or reduced price on AED's offer. If anyone has gone this route was it a good way to go?
Any information reference the best way to go in purchasing an AED, including the best type, brand, price etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

I was instrumental in getting our church to purchase an AED. However, I left the details of purchase to one of our medical people.
We bought a Phillips, and it pretty much walks you through everything step-by-step. I was recently told that replacement batteries cost around $150, though. I found since then that some units run on the lithium CR123 batteries that are available locally for about $4 each.
All I'm saying is do your reasearch!

Thanks for the info. I may do the same and have the medical side handle the purchase but thought perhaps I could gain some valuable information via the forum first. The information re: the cost of replacement batteries for the Phillips AED was exactly the kind of info I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!

You may want to check with your local EMS provider to see what they recommend. It is possible that they may use similar equipment and when responding to your facility, they can just plug your pads into their machine and go. Making for a more expedient transport of the patient.
On the same idea. If you are a larger congregation, It is a good idea to have some type of trip sheet that makes two copies to be able to just give to EMS with all the pertinent info on it. Your safety team can have all this info ready for them when they get there.

Thanks for the information, both of which I will pursue. I especially like the idea of having two copies, one for our file and one for the EMS crew.
