It covers everything from unpacking the AED to how to use it in the emergency treatment of a sudden cardiac arrest.  The course is available as an online or classroom course nationally.

This public access defibrillator has an 8-year warranty and a unique combined battery and pad-pack with a 4-year life from date of manufacture. After an event the complete pad-pak is replaced, which means you have a brand new battery for the next event. This is more cost-effective than many other devices with expensive so-called long-life batteries when cost over the life of the device.
