You wouldn't drive a car without insurance. Why would you manage your AED without Arch? Just like auto insurance, Arch exists to provide the support you need. When you need us, we are here for you.
Managing an AED seems simple, just pop in the battery, hang it on a wall, and you're done. There is a lot more to managing an AED to consider, including:
• Developing a post AED usage plan, which includes - downloading the data from the AED, having a physician interpret the data and compile a report that needs to be submitted to required agencies.
• Registering your AED with the required local agencies
• Conducting regular inspections to ensure the AED functions properly
• Having Medical Direction (for states that require it)
• Replacing expiring parts
• Efficiently managing multiple devices and trained CPR responders spread across multiple locations, all with different expiration dates.
When you factor everything involved in managing your AED, all of a sudden it doesn't seem all that simple. But it can be!
AED Management- Simplified
Arch is a web-based tool that is designed to streamline AED ownership and assist with compliance. It includes a lot of features and benefits, including the post-event AED usage plan which includes:
• A free loaner AED while we download and interpret the data on your AED
• Data review by our on-staff licensed Physician
• A free set of electrode pads to replace the ones that were used
• Submission of data reports to required agencies on your behalf
• A copy of the data for your records
• Free shipping of your AED and loaner AED
Other features and benefits included with your subscription:
• Monthly AED check reminders with late alerts to ensure your AED is ready to rescue. To help meet statutory mandates and AED manufacturer’s guidelines, AEDs should be checked at least monthly and documentation of the 30-day readiness check should be recorded. Arch provides a password encrypted platform to safely store monthly AED checks. You no longer need to walk back and forth between your AED and your workstation to report and record your AED inspections. Nor are you forced to use unverifiable maintenance techniques like “check tags" and paper files. Arch’s Software as a Service (SaaS) program offers the world’s first method of performing mandatory readiness checks on your smartphone! You can use your smartphone to log into Arch to perform readiness checks while in front of the AED, saving you time.
• Email reminders of upcoming expiration dates for AED batteries and electrode pads.
• Automatic registration with the required local agencies for added confidence in case of an event
• Automatic AED registration with your local Emergency Medical Services for "Good Samaritan Law" compliance (when required)). Since each county and state in the United States sets their own standards, creates their own registration forms, has their own unique filing protocols, streamlining a national program using the proper documentation can be tough. The more locations and AED units deployed, the more challenging proper registration and documentation requirements become. We know the requirements. We file the registration paperwork with the local public safety answering point (PSAP) and EMS agency, if needed in your state. Furthermore, since some counties require specific information or a signature, we will reach out to you for this additional information, if needed. Once filed, each AED registration form is saved in your account for future reference with a date stamp of submission date.
• Online tracking of CPR expiration dates and certification status of your trained responders
• Online access to your Policy and Procedures Manual
