Instructions to submit a Public Records Request

Planning to purchase an AED

Placing an AED in your workplace or home has the potential to save lives. In order to purchase most AED models, a few quick steps are required. For almost all AED models, a prescription and medical oversight for the AED are required by the state of Washington. This is easier than it sounds as King County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) can provide both a prescription and medical oversight for your AED at no cost if you are planning on placing your AED within King County.

Medical oversight

Washington state law requires that a licensed physician or osteopath provide medical direction to a person or entity purchasing an AED. The Medical Director will help to develop instructions for your AED program to ensure that they are appropriate for your agency and are in accordance with American Heart Association Guidelines. The Medical Director will provide oversight of these instructions to ensure ongoing compliance, assure that users receive appropriate training, and that the AED is in a location to make your AED program a success.

If the AED will be located within Seattle city limits, medical direction can be provided by Dr. Michael Copass. If the AED will be located in King County but outside of Seattle city limits, medical direction can be provided by Dr. Mickey Eisenberg, or you can name a physician of your choice.

Please contact the King County AED Coordinator at 206-263-8567 for more information.
