AED

---

The AED is located on the wooden fence to the left of the main entrance gates at 54 Tuparekura Road, that is, at the Rec Centre.  

St John’s keeps all public use AEDs locked with a combination padlock to prevent vandalism.

To access the AED you must get the code for the padlock:

1. Dial 111 and ask for an ambulance
2. Say the patient is unresponsive and CPR is underway, and you  need access to an AED.
3. State the exact location of the AED: 54 Tuparekura Road, South Head, Auckland
4. Lift off the red outer cover.
5. Unlock the black cabinet with the combination the 111  operator gives you
6. Unclip the two latches on the right hand side of the black cabinet
7. An alarm will sound when the black cabinet is opened

The cell coverage at the gate is variable, and you may have to move away from the gate to make the call.  You do not have to be standing at the gate to get the code. You can request the code as soon as you dial 111.  

If an emergency occurs, it is best if there is one person assisting the patient and one person managing the phone and retrieving the AED.
