Statute overview

About this statute

This law regulates the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in assistance transport and places with high public traffic. This provision states the law’s purpose: to establish requirements for automatic external defibrillators (DEA) in basic and medical transport and in places with high public traffic. This article defines key terms used in the law and says AEDs should be available in transports, public spaces, and out-of-hospital emergency settings; it also gives the competent authority power to define high-traffic places using objective criteria. This article says the law applies to many high-traffic places and requires DEA access, with Invima and health authorities assigned specific roles. Certain staff and public-access sites must be trained and certified to use AEDs, and AED use triggers emergency notification, reporting within 72 hours, and a liability exemption if used in good faith and with reasonable care.
