• Medical device protection: the waterproof and dustproof structure preserves the integrity of the AED in environments exposed to the elements, reducing risks of malfunction in critical situations.
• Immediate access signaling: the 105 dB acoustic alarm ensures tracking of every opening, a fundamental element for monitoring in public spaces and for the security of the structure.
• Durable mechanical resistance: the shockproof polystyrene with aluminum inserts resists accidental impacts and manipulation, extending the operational life of the casing and its contents.
• Guaranteed visual accessibility: placement in city centers is facilitated by a compact (40×20×34 cm) and robust structure, which remains accessible and easily identifiable in case of emergency.
• Energy autonomy: the power supply with LR44 button batteries eliminates dependence on electricity, maintaining alarm functionality even in areas without infrastructure.
• Reduced maintenance: brushed stainless steel hinges and sealed closures guarantee long life and absence of corrosion, minimizing preventive maintenance interventions.

The cabinet is intended for public and urban contexts where the immediate availability of a defibrillator can be critical: squares, railway stations, shopping centers, sports facilities, parks, and high-density areas. The ability to operate in an outdoor environment exposed to rain, wind, humidity, and dust makes it suitable for permanent installations without additional protection.

It is particularly suitable for public management and local administrations that must guarantee access to defibrillators in open spaces, where climatic variability and adverse environmental conditions are constant factors. The availability on the MEPA portal (Electronic Public Administration Market) qualifies it as a solution acquirable by public bodies according to simplified purchasing procedures.

Choose this cabinet when the goal is to guarantee full protection of the AED in an outdoor environment without intervening every time the weather conditions change. It is the correct choice when you need to satisfy public safety and accessibility regulations for defibrillators in open spaces, for which the casing must withstand continuous bad weather.

The operational prerequisite is to have a public space easily identifiable by citizens and rescuers, with easy visual access. The acoustic alarm represents an essential control element for administrations that must track removals and prevent accidental or intentional tampering.

It is preferable when you already have an AED and are looking exclusively for a protective casing for outdoor environments, rather than an integrated solution. The shockproof polystyrene material offers an economic compromise between structural protection and manageable weight for installation.

Is the cabinet compatible with all AED models?

The cabinet is sized to accommodate standard defibrillators with dimensions up to 32 cm in length, 18 cm in depth, and 28 cm in height. Before purchasing, it is necessary to verify that the AED in your possession fits within these internal dimensions to ensure stable positioning and optimal protection.

How does the acoustic alarm work and can it be deactivated?

The acoustic alarm activates automatically upon opening the door and produces a 105 dB sound signal powered by 3 LR44 button batteries. It is a signaling system and is not designed to be deactivated, in order to ensure tracking of every access. The battery has multi-year autonomy if the device is not opened frequently.

What are the differences compared to an indoor cabinet?

Indoor cabinets do not have total waterproof sealing or dustproof treatment, as they operate in climate-controlled and monitored environments. This product, however, is specifically tested to withstand rain, humidity, dirt, and thermal shocks, ensuring protection of the AED without the need for daily maintenance after outdoor installation.

Is a certification or regulation required to install an AED cabinet?

The installation of defibrillators in public spaces is regulated by national laws (in Italy, the Ministry of Health Decree 18/3/2011) requiring their availability in high-risk facilities and high-density areas. The cabinet itself, as a protective casing, does not require specific certification, but the entire AED + cabinet system must comply with medical safety directives (Directive 93/42/EEC, now replaced by MDR 2017/745).

Do the stainless steel hinges require maintenance?

The brushed stainless steel hinges are corrosion-resistant and do not require routine maintenance. However, an annual cleaning with fresh water and drying can maintain their appearance. The sealing with closures guarantees protection against water infiltration even after years of exposure.
