• Immediate identification: the transparent plate with AED lettering allows for quick localization of the defibrillator in critical situations, reducing response times.
• Device protection: the polypropylene containment protects the AED from impacts, dust and contamination, preserving its functionality over time.
• Access control: the sealable rotating handle allows for checking the integrity of the container and limiting unauthorized access.
• Accessory organization: the 2 removable shelves allow for the tidy storage of spare batteries, electrodes, manuals and basic life support kits.
• Discreet installation: the compact dimensions (370×515×195 mm) fit onto walls and common spaces without excessive bulk.
• Easy maintenance: the removable structure of the shelves facilitates cleaning operations and periodic checks.

The cabinet is intended for use in civil and commercial indoor environments where the availability of an automated external defibrillator is mandatory or recommended for regulatory compliance or personnel safety.

Typical installation contexts:

Healthcare and social-healthcare facilities: clinics, outpatient surgeries, nursing homes, medical centers.

High-traffic work environments: offices, shopping centers, railway stations and airports, gyms and sports centers.

Public buildings: town halls, schools, universities, libraries, recreational centers.

Accommodation facilities: hotels, restaurants, bars, collective catering facilities.

In all these contexts, the cabinet allows for keeping the AED visible, accessible and protected, ensuring compliance with international guidelines on early defibrillation.

Choosing this cabinet is the right choice when it is necessary to house a defibrillator in indoor environments maintaining a balance between rapid accessibility, protection and visual discretion.

It is the appropriate solution if the installation is intended for spaces with moderate pedestrian traffic (offices, clinics, accommodation facilities) where the risk of accidental impacts or contamination is realistic but not extreme.

Operational prerequisites: availability of a flat internal wall space (wall or column), absence of excessive humidity (polypropylene is not waterproof), need for installation with adequate fixing material (plugs, screws).

It is not the right choice if the defibrillator must be installed in outdoor environments, exposed to rain or strong temperature fluctuations, where a stainless steel or reinforced polycarbonate cabinet would be preferable.

Compared to non-contained solutions (AED hung on the wall without protection), this cabinet adds physical protection, organizational order and reduction of the risk of tampering.

What is the difference between this cabinet and a steel case?

The polypropylene cabinet is lighter, easier to install and suitable for controlled indoor environments (absence of humidity, moderate temperatures). A stainless steel cabinet offers greater robustness and resistance to atmospheric agents, making it more suitable for outdoor installations or high-impact environments. The choice depends on the environmental context and the level of protection required.

How do you clean and maintain the cabinet?

The exterior can be cleaned with a damp cloth and neutral detergent. The internal shelves are completely removable, facilitating the cleaning of the shelves and inspection of the structure. A quarterly visual maintenance is recommended to check the integrity of the transparent plate and the functioning of the handle.

Does the sealable rotating handle completely prevent unauthorized opening?

The sealable handle allows for control and limitation of access, but does not represent an absolute security measure. It is effective in preventing accidental openings and providing evidence of unauthorized access. For environments at very high risk of tampering, additional systems (alarms, GPS tracking) may be necessary.

Which industry regulations apply to this product?

The cabinet must contain a defibrillator compliant with European Directive 93/42/EEC (now MDR 2017/745) and technical standard EN 60601-1 for medical devices. The EN 60601-2-4 standard specifies requirements for automated defibrillators. The installation must comply with ILCOR guidelines and local regulations on occupational safety and emergency management.

What sizes of defibrillator fit inside?

The internal dimensions are approximately 370 mm (width) × 195 mm (depth) × 515 mm (height). Most defibrillators on the market (Philips Heartstart, Zoll, Medtronic) fit within these spaces. Before purchasing, it is recommended to check the exact measurements of the AED model to be installed.

Can it be installed in humid environments such as bathrooms or washing areas?

No. Polypropylene does not offer adequate protection against persistent humidity. The cabinet is intended exclusively for dry indoor environments. In bathrooms, professional kitchens or areas with high humidity, a container in waterproof material (stainless steel, sealed polycarbonate) is preferable.
