How can you tell if they are being properly installed, and what can you do to ensure everything is up to code?

1. Store It Properly

One aspect of the installation process that many people neglect is the storage of the life support system. Make sure to store your life support systems in an area of your hospital or clinic where they can't get damaged. For instance, make sure to store your defibrillators away from water and somewhere where children can't reach it. As a suggestion, try to hang defibrillators on the wall where it is accessible to medical staff, safe from the elements, and far enough away from little hands. 

2. Hire an Electrician

Life support systems like defibrillators save more lives every day than you can imagine. However, to make sure they are properly installed in your hospital or clinic, hire an electrician. Although an electrician isn't a medical professional, they will be able to make sure all of the electrical components are in working order and that the defibrillator will get properly charged while not in use. 

3. Have It Tested

The last thing you are going to want to run into is having a newly installed life support system that doesn't work. Right after you get your system installed, make sure to test it to ensure that it is working properly. If you come across any glitches in the testing process, count your lucky stars that you caught them ahead of an emergency and make sure to have them repaired as soon as possible. 

Life support systems help to sustain and reboot lives every single minute of the day. If you are starting a hospital or clinic, make sure that your life support systems are being stored and installed properly because, like many other aspects of your business, making sure they work properly will decide a life or death situation.
