New Jersey AED Law

The State of New Jersey AED Law protects individuals and organizations that own an AED from liability when the guidelines set forth in the law are followed.  The New Jersey AED Law states the following:

"3. A person or entity that acquires an automated external defibrillator shall:

a. Ensure that any person, prior to using that defibrillator, has successfully completed and holds a current certification from the American Red Cross, American Heart Association or other training program recognized by the Department of Health and Senior Services in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use of a defibrillator;

b. Ensure that the defibrillator is maintained and tested according to the manufacturer's operational guidelines;

c. Notify the appropriate first aid, ambulance or rescue squad or other appropriate emergency medical services provider that the person or entity has acquired the defibrillator, the type acquired and its location; and

d. Prior to purchasing the automated external defibrillator, provide the prescribing licensed physician with documentation that the person or entity purchasing the defibrillator has a protocol in place to comply with the requirements of subsections a., b. and c. of this section."

The New Jersey AED Law requires AED owners to properly maintain the AED.  Maintaining the AED includes replacing the pads and batteries according to the manufacture's guidelines.  The pads and batteries have expiration dates.

Training must be provided to those individuals that are most likely to operate that AED.  Of course, it is ideal to have as many people trained as possible to ensure that everyone is prepared for the emergency.

New Jersey AED Health Club Law- Senate Bill 2567 (SB2567)

C.2A:62A-30 Findings, declarations relative to use

 of defibrillators in health clubs.

    1.    The Legislature finds and declares that:

a.        According to the American Heart Association,

b.        when a person suffers sudden cardiac arrest, the

c.        person's chance of survival decreases by 7% to 10%

d.       for each minute that passes without defibrillation;

e.        and with defibrillation given in the first minute after

f.         cardiac arrest, the survival rate can be as high as 90%;

    b.    The greatest risk for cardiac arrest is among men

 over 45 and women over 55 years of age, as well as

among persons who smoke, are overweight or have diabetes;

    c.    Studies have shown that while exercise helps

 the heart in the long run, the risk of physical activity

is not zero and the risk for cardiac arrest may increase

 during the time that the person is engaging in

 moderate or vigorous exercise, particularly for those

 who are sporadic exercisers or have underlying

 cardiovascular disease;

    d.    The number of Americans who exercise regularly

 at health clubs has increased steadily in recent years,

 as has the age of persons who exercise at these clubs;

 as many as 30 million people now visit health and

 exercise centers in this country, and it is estimated

 that about 55% percent of these people are over age 35;

    e.    As the age of persons who use health clubs

 increases, it is reasonable to assume that the number

 of members with cardiovascular disease is rising as well;

g.        In recognition of the increasing risk of cardiac

h.         arrest at health clubs and the effectiveness

i.          of readily accessible automated external

j.          defibrillators in saving lives, it is, therefore,

k.         in the best interest of the residents of this

l.           State to require health clubs to maintain

m.       defibrillators on their premises.
