❓A question we hear quite often: should an AED be placed indoors or outdoors?
🏠 For most locations, an indoor AED is the best choice. Devices like the Philips HS1 are designed for places such as homes, offices, practices, or community buildings where the temperature stays stable and the AED remains protected.
💪 Some environments need something more robust. The Philips FRx, for example, is built for more demanding locations like vehicles, boats, or industrial environments.
And an important point many people don’t realise:
❗An AED can always be deployed outside during an emergency. For permanent outdoor placement a heated outdoor cabinet is recommended.
👉 In the end, the most important thing is simple:
an AED that’s easy to access, well maintained, and ready when every second counts.
