Public access automated external defibrillator w88 slot

The University of Nevada, Reno has initiated a Public Access Automated External Defibrillator (AED) w88 slot. Nine locations have been identified on campus as strategic locations for Public Access AED stations. Each station is individually numbered and consists of an alarmed weather-tight cabinet that contains a complete AED unit.

Each station has been selected for maximum benefit and area of coverage through consultation with REMSA Ambulance Service personnel. Each cabinet is equipped with both an audio and visual alarm to assist w88 slot service personnel in identifying the cabinet that has been activated.

w88 slot station procedures

In the event that an w88 slot is needed, go to the nearest station and open the cabinet. The alarms will sound and light up. Grab the w88 slot unit.

While en route to the downed individual’s location with the w88 slot, call 911 if you can. Inform the emergency dispatch personnel what building/location you are going to. The operator has access to a campus map which identifies the w88 slot stations and buildings, they will then dispatch an ambulance to your location.

Once ambulance personnel have taken over the patient care, return the used w88 slot back to its original station. Notify EH&S by phone of the date, time and location of the w88 slot’s use. EH&S personnel will then restock the w88 slot station and download the stored incident data from the unit.

w88 slot training

While it is preferred that all persons using an w88 slot be trained in its use, each unit contains instructions that can, if needed, guide an untrained individual through the use procedures. However, in order to be more proficient and to save time in an emergency situation, it is advised that campus personnel obtain training on the use of the AEDs on campus. Interested University personnel should contact the EH&S department at (775) 327-5040 to make arrangements for training.
