Special Note

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires a physician’s prescription to purchase an AED. Prescriptions must be written by a State of North Carolina licensed physician without compensation. For more information, see the FDA Guidelines.

AEDs shall be registered with the FDA and the County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Office, and the registration shall be maintained for the life of the unit. This requirement creates a medical device tracking system for product modifications, notifications and recalls.

Any entity that acquires an AED shall:

  • Provide for, and require, every individual expected to use the AED to receive American Heart Association or American Red Cross training in CPR and AED use, or an equivalent nationally recognized course in CPR and AED use.
  • Maintain and test the AED according to the manufacturer's operational guidelines. Ensure that the pads have not expired.
  • Establish an AED use protocol, which stipulates that any person who provides emergency care or treatment to an individual in cardiac arrest by using the AED shall contact, as soon as possible, an appropriate health care provider or emergency medical services provider.
  • Consider recommendations of a NC licensed physician in establishing the training, notification, and maintenance requirements of AEDs.
Taxes Prices do not include North Carolina sales or use tax.
Reporting Requirements

In accordance with General Statute 90-21.15, sellers must notify the North Carolina Office of Emergency Medical Services of each sale of an AED.

Reporting information should include the type and model of the AED, date of sale of the AED, location of the AED (e.g., address and building name where applicable), and the name, address and telephone number of the person who is responsible for the AED.

Reporting information should be sent to AED Coordinator, McKenzie Beamer, within two weeks of the sale date via email or fax: (919) 733-7201.
