(1) The AED is maintained and tested according to the manufacturer's guidelines.

(2) A licensed physician or advanced practice registered nurse who is authorized to prescribe is involved in the possessor's program to ensure compliance with the requirements for training, emergency medical service (EMS) notification, and maintenance.

(3) (a) Expected AED users regularly, on the premises of a particular entity, such as a work site, receive appropriate training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and in the use of an AED by the American Heart Association or by any other nationally recognized course in CPR and AED use. (b) For purposes of this Paragraph, "expected AED users" shall be any person designated by the possessor to render emergency care.

(4) The emergency medical services system is activated as soon as possible when an individual renders emergency care to an individual in cardiac arrest by using an AED.

(5) Any clinical use of the AED is reported to the licensed physician or advanced practice registered nurse involved in the possessor's program."

Louisiana requires that AED owners to maintain the AED properly.  Maintaining the AED according to the manufacture's guidelines requires the replacement of the pads and batteries according to the expiration date.  The expiration dates for the pads and batteries will vary from manufacture to manufacture.  Training should be provided to any individual expected to use the AED during an emergency.
