Automated External Defibrillator (AED)

The University of Calgary has placed automated external defibrillators (AEDs) throughout the university for use by untrained individuals in the event another person experiences a cardiac malfunction. 

An Automated External Defibrillator

An AED is a portable device designed to be simple to use. An AED automatically diagnoses potentially life threatening cardiac malfunctions in a patient, and is able to treat them through defibrillation. Once turned on, an automated voice will direct the user in clear, easy to understand terms. However, the units alone cannot save a person. 911 must be called as soon as possible.

Campus Security is available to conduct brief information sessions with any department or group who would like to know more about the machines. Call Security Operations, for more information at 403.220.5061, or contact security.operations@ucalgary.ca.

ATTENTION: AED Pad recall

A problem has been identified in the Philips M5071A (adult) and M5072A (infant/child) Automated External Defibrillator (AED) pads that could pose a risk for patients or users. Please follow the instructions contained in this document (which you can also find inside all emergency boxes) until we are able to replace the devices. UCalgary is dedicated to the safety of the UCalgary community and are doing everything we can to get this issue resolved as quickly as possible.
