Frequently Asked Questions

Texas requires AED programs to keep up with maintenance, AED placement reporting, and EMS activation requirements. The Good Samaritan law protects all AED users, and many activities are covered. Immunity is not determined from the compliance of specified administrative and operational requirements. Texas mandates that AEDs be placed in certain schools, in dentist offices, nursing homes/facilities, extended care facilities, and at artificial swimming lagoons/swimming pools.

Protection from liability is extended to good faith users, AED trainers, and AED-prescribing physicians as well as to AED acquirers, owners, and lessees who are in compliance with code requirements.

An AED acquirer is responsible for ensuring that AED users receive training in CPR/AED and for notifying local EMS of the existence, location, and type of AED.

The owner or lessee of an AED is responsible for maintenance and testing of the AED according to the manufacturer's guidelines.

The medical oversight of a licensed physician is required for each AED program to ensure compliance with the law.

All of our AED packages include one year of medical oversight which can be renewed.

At least one AED is required on each school campus and, for any gathering of a substantial number of students, the AED and an employee trained in AED must be readily available.

Students must receive CPR training once in grades 7-12.

At least one AED is required at each dental office, nursing home, convalescent facility, and pediatric extended care facilities, and at least one employee trained in CPR/AED must be on site.

Nursing Facilities are required to have at least one AED and a CPR/AED trained staff member on each floor and in each building. Physician oversight is required in nursing homes.

AEDs are required at swimming pools and swimming lagoons. Lifeguards should have at least one portable AED and one BVM that can be easily and quickly accessed.

Group classes can be arranged at your site . Discounts are available based upon the type of class and number of students. We service businesses within 75 miles of Conroe for no additional fee. Beyond 75 miles per diem and mileage fees will apply.

Alternatively, you can send your staff to our training center's regularly scheduled classes for the same price as a group.  A contract code is given to your staff to use at checkout to lower the price to your business' contracted discount pricing; this allows your staff to come to any of our sessions at their convenience but pay the discounted price of your negotiated agreement. Your employees can each pay on their own or we can invoice your organization. This option works well if you don't necessarily need all your staff certified at the same time but still want the benefit of a group class discount.
