Kansas State Requirements

In Kansas, AED programs are mandated to adhere to maintenance protocols and report AED placements. The Good Samaritan provision extends immunity to all participants involved in AED programs, excluding those engaging in non-AED-related activities. Immunity eligibility hinges on adherence to specific administrative and operational guidelines. Furthermore, Kansas mandates that dental offices employing sedation must have an AED readily available on-site.

Kansas Law Key Takeaways 

• EMS Notification: Acquirers are obligated to inform local EMS about the AED's location.
• Good Samaritan Law: Immunity is extended to individuals providing emergency aid in good faith, including physicians and AED training instructors. Entities owning or overseeing AEDs are also shielded from liability if they adhere to maintenance and operational guidelines.
• AED Placement: Guidelines for AED placement in state-owned or occupied facilities are established by the secretary of administration and the state highway patrol.
• Dental Offices: Dental practices utilizing parenteral conscious sedation must have an AED on-site.

AED's save lives every day and you can make a difference!  Besides the states requirements, we believe AED's should be readily available everywhere, within arms reach in case of an emergency.
