Automated External Defibrillator
Leigh Hart gives you the lowdown on AEDs at National Mini Storage
By installing an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) in each of the nine National Mini Storage facilities Auckland wide, we have increased your chance of surviving a cardiac arrest by up to 40%.

Each year more than 2,000 New Zealanders will suffer a cardiac arrest outside of hospital and for 64% of cardiac arrests a bystander will perform CPR. Many people show no warnings or prior symptoms and 15% survive to hospital discharge following a cardiac arrest. Use of an AED within 3-5 min of collapse can increase the chance of survival by up to 40%.
The AED units installed in the office area at each National Mini Storage facility are accessible during operating hours.
