How We Help
Readiness Systems offers services and resources that enable and support the placement and use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in workplace and community settings to treat those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). AED programs are established to do two very important things in those rare instances when SCA strikes: Use volunteer bystanders to start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and get functioning AEDs to the people who need them.
Readiness Systems helps organizations create policies and practices that ready them for SCA emergencies, guide what actions should be taken if SCA is encountered and help manage the legal risks that come with owning AEDs. And we help AED programs keep equipment ready for use, comply with AED laws and know how to responsibly meet AED program best practices.
Here are some of the ways we can work with your organization.

Custom Policies
Comprehensive written policies establish the foundation for how AED programs are set up, managed and operated. In contrast, the absence of complete written policies can increase the risk of bad outcomes and the consequences that can follow. Every AED program is unique with different environments, people, resources and needs. An organization’s AED program policies can reflect these differences and improve the chances of program success.
Readiness Systems, the nation’s leading AED program compliance expert, offers the only truly comprehensive AED program creation and policy development services. We will help you design and document your complete AED program
Your policies will achieve three key goals:
- Preparation: They will show how you are reasonably prepared for SCA emergencies
- Performance: They will show how you will perform responsibly when SCA occurs
- Protection: They will put policies and practices in place that lower your liability risks and can help defend lawsuits
And your policies will address all AED program building blocks.

Remote AED Monitoring Services
When your AEDs are needed, you need them to be ready. But, because of human inspection lapses, more than 1 in 5 AEDs may not be ready for use leading to avoidable deaths and lawsuits. That’s why Readiness Systems developed AED Sentinel, the first remote AED monitoring system built for every AED program. AED Sentinel uses technology to automatically inspect AEDs so humans don’t have to.
With AED Sentinel you get digitally verified AED inspections that:
Safeguard your AEDs
Keep your staff focused on high value contributions
Lower your AED program risk
Readiness Systems also offers on-site AED battery and pad replacement services. Contact us to learn more about how these services can support your AED program readiness initiatives.
AED Law Center
AED laws exist in every state but vary widely by jurisdiction. Following AED laws may help preserve Good Samaritan legal protections in some jurisdictions and can help a legal defense in the unlikely event of a lawsuit.
The AED Law Center™ is a comprehensive online information resource that helps you learn the AED laws for any state, understand the AED laws in plain English and stay informed about pending AED legislation nationwide.
AED Law Center subscriptions include:
AED Laws

Regulatory Compliance Services
The Challenge
Lots of Different Rules: Rules governing the placement and use of AEDs exist in every state. But each state imposes differing sets of requirements on AED programs.
The Rules are Hard to Understand: Knowing how to be compliant in each state is a big challenge because rules are complicated, poorly written, sometimes changing, lack a clear purpose, and no agency is in charge to provide guidance.
Compliance with the Rules is Important: Addressing the rules and properly documenting compliance is important to preserve Good Samaritan legal protections in some states and to help support a lawsuit defense in every state.
