Idaho AED Law - Senate Bill 1185 (SB 1185)

The State of Idaho AED Law has been created to protect individuals and organizations that own an AED from liability when the guidelines set forth in the law are followed.  The Idaho AED Law states the following: 

"(a) A person or entity who acquires a defibrillator as a result of a prescription shall ensure that:

(i) Expected defibrillator users receive training in its use and care equivalent to the CPR and AED training of the American heart association, the American red cross or similar entities;

(ii) The defibrillator is maintained and tested according to the manufacturer's operational guidelines;

(iii) There is involvement of a licensed physician in the site's program to ensure compliance with requirements for training, notification, maintenance and guidelines for use;

(iv) Any person who renders emergency care or treatment to a person defibrillator to the prescribing physician.

(b) Any person or entity who acquires a defibrillator as a result of a prescription shall notify an agent of the emergency communications system or emergency vehicle dispatch center of the existence, location and type of defibrillator."

Idaho requires that a physicial be involved in the AED program.  Having medical direction included in the AED Program ensure that your AED program is compliant with the law by properly maintaining the AED, completing training, and following the proper proceedures when an emergency occurs.
