Prince Edward Island AED Registry (AED) Program
About the PEI AED Registry™
The PEI Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Registry Program is a voluntary online registry database that allows individuals, organizations and communities in Prince Edward Island to register their AED. Island EMS and Medacom Atlantic’s 9-1-1 dispatch centre will use the information in the registry to locate the life-saving devices. They will advise callers who are assisting individuals in sudden cardiac arrest where the closest publicly accessible defibrillator is located. Callers will be asked to retrieve it or ask someone else for assistance. Instructions will be provided on how to use the AED until the paramedics arrive.
