According to the Penn State Safety Policy SY22, any Penn State department or administrative unit planning to purchase, use or maintain an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) must submit a "Plan to Use an AED" to the Office of Emergency Medical Services.

This "Plan" must address medical oversight, use, training, location, and maintenance of units. The office will review submittals, provide assistance in Plan preparation, provide written approval to the requesting department or unit, and will assess the effectiveness of the overall AED program.

Some sample forms have been prepared to assist departments in the planning process:
