Yes, standardizing on a single AED model across multiple locations is often the most practical and cost-effective approach for organizations. Using the same device simplifies staff training, as employees only need to learn one set of instructions and button layouts, which increases confidence and reduces response time in emergencies. It also streamlines maintenance, because replacement pads, batteries, and accessories are consistent across sites, making inventory management easier and potentially lowering overall maintenance costs. When selecting a model for multiple locations, ensure it is suitable for each environment—indoor offices, outdoor areas, manufacturing floors, or high-humidity spaces may have different durability or IP rating requirements. Additionally, confirm that the AED’s software, updates, and service network are accessible for all locations to maintain compliance and readiness. Standardization not only improves operational efficiency but also ensures that every employee, regardless of location, is familiar with the device in a critical emergency.
