Public access deployment of automated external defibrillators
Sudden cardiac arrest, more commonly known as “sudden death,” is the leading cause of death in North America.
In order to increase survival rates, to date, automated external defibrillators (AED) are more and more accessible to the general public.
AEDs are ready to be used by an immediate witness in case of emergency and are located in strategic public and private places, thus survival rates are vastly improved by such fast action.
Monitor all your AEDs remotely !
Having a defibrillator within reach in an emergency can save lives, but deploying such a life-saving equipment in strategic public places can pose new challenges to ensure its fast accessibility and proper functioning when needed.
AIVIA’s Connected Solutions allow the remote monitoring of the operability of AEDs, their presence and withdrawals, their exposure to external temperature variations, their geolocation and other relevant events in real time through various communication technologies and a complete software platform!
Our mission:
To facilitate and protect access to Automated External Defibrillators
in public places with appropriate equipments and options !
Shock and weather resistance
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, AIVIA is robust and lightweight, and is made from selected materials such as polycarbonate and ABS, known in the industry for their high resistance to impact and thermal shocks.
AIVIA cabinets use an intelligent design to provide effective protection against external mechanical impacts and a complete response to the climatic constraints to which AEDs in public spaces may be exposed.
Multi-brand AED management
Compatible with all types of AEDs in Public Access to Defibrillation (PAD) plans, AIVIA offers a single solution that allows you to monitor all the different AEDs on a single map!
AIVIA cabinets and their software are compatible with all brands of defibrillators to meet the needs of your multi-brand fleet without excluding any brand of AED from your 24/7 monitoring solution!
Customized signage
AIVIA cabinets can be customized.
Integrate a logo, text, or images on the front of the cabinet to make the equipment clearly identifiable and intuitive to use in an emergency !
Importance of adequate ventilation
Sunny weather or exposure to sunlight can significantly increase the temperature and take the AED out of the AED manufacturer’s recommended operating temperature range when stored outdoors.
AIVIA outdoor cabinets are equipped with an automatically activated fan system when required, and are designed to provide adequate ventilation against high temperatures, humidity, and condensation!
Essential heating
Freezing temperatures can render the AED non-operational and affect the AED battery and pads, making it impossible to deliver a shock. AIVIA cabinets are equipped with an effective heating system to prevent freezing, and can maintain a suitable temperature to protect the AED pads and battery even when the outside temperature goes as low as -4°F (-20°C).
This essential heating system is automatically activated by a temperature sensor when needed.
Manufactured in the USA
Manufactured in the USA, AIVIA cabinets comply with all applicable regulations and are subject to rigorous quality control.

Any questions?
Which AED model is compatible?
The AIVIA cabinet fits all AEDs!
Why is the cover transparent?
The AED status indicator must be visible at all times. A transparent cover not only makes it easy to see the contents of the cabinet but also to inspect the AED.
What is the night/day function?
AIVIA is equipped with a light detector. In low-light conditions, flashing white lights identify the AIVIA's location.
Why choose a wall-mounted AED cabinet for outdoor use?
The AED must be freely accessible to allow rapid action at any time! A large percentage of cardiac arrests occur at home, in the evening for example. Installing a defibrillator indoors can limit access to the AED to the opening hours of an equipped building.
Mass deployment of AEDs in public and private sites is a recognized solution, but AEDs need to be accessible in all types of locations and 24 hours a day.
Why choose a heating cabinet for outdoor use?
Wall-mounted AED cabinets are not considered "outdoor" simply because they are made from specific materials (fiberglass or non-corrosive stainless steel, acrylic or polycarbonate windows, specific paints used on these materials to color the cabinet, fairly high IP protection rating, etc.).
Outdoor enclosures need to offer more features to enable effective protection in outdoor conditions, and in particular against outside temperatures.
The AED is a medical device that must be installed in a temperate environment to avoid premature deterioration (manufacturer's requirements are generally 0°C to 50°C). Hot and cold temperatures can be a constraint, and if these outdoor exposure constraints are not taken into account, the AED could be damaged (electrodes, battery, etc.). For this reason, a controlled convection heating and ventilation system, activated by a temperature sensor and configured thresholds, is highly recommended. The heating system keeps the AED's operating temperature within certain limits, and the fan extracts heat from the AIVIA.
Are the heater and fan manual or automatic?
No physical intervention is required on site to start heating or ventilation!
AIVIA cabinets are equipped with a temperature sensor. A temperature threshold is preset in its system at 10°C (50°F) to automatically activate heating. For hot temperatures, the threshold is preset at 30°C to activate the ventilation system.
Are the best outdoor cabinets those with the highest IP rating?
Contrary to popular belief, too high an IP rating can cause more problems than it solves.
The highest IP rating must be combined with other features to prevent condensation, to evacuate heat from the cabinet compartment... AIVIA enclosures benefit from intelligent design, features and components to avoid likely problems and achieve the most effective weather protection possible.
Are AIVIA cabinets weatherproof?
The shape of our AIVIA armories is designed to facilitate the fall of rain, and requires no watertight joints to limit the effects of condensation and relative humidity. With an IP 44 rating, AIVIA is weatherproof. It is protected against splashing water (from any direction) and against the penetration of solid objects larger than 1 mm.
What about the risk of vandalism and theft for exterior fixtures?
The AED must be accessible to all to enable rapid action in the event of an emergency. If access to the AED is restricted by an opening code, key or other means of access control, the emergency process can be delayed, and minutes are precious!
An alarm activates when the AED is removed and warns if the AED is stolen. However, the very low rates of vandalism or theft, combined with the need to act quickly, do not justify equipping AED cabinets with locking devices.
