    Report summary

    Mackenzie Cooper died on 29 September 2022 after being electrocuted while working at a residential property, resulting in cardiac arrhythmia. During the emergency response, a community public access defibrillator supplied from a local Co-op store could not be used because it was missing its pads. Concerns included the device being supplied in a non-workable condition and the absence of clear systems for maintaining defibrillators and sharing their operational status with ambulance services.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of a system for sharing current defibrillator service status with ambulance Trusts

    Wider context from the report

    “Central England Co-operative 1. The community public access defibrillator in your store was supplied to a member of the public in a non-workable condition. There appears to be either no system for replacing the pads between uses, or an unsafe system in operation. 2. There appears to be either a training or communication issue in that staff appear to have known the device was missing vital equipment, but the device was supplied anyway. The Department for Health and Social Care 3. In December 2022, the Government committed to making available over £1 million for the purchase of more community public access defibrillators, in recognition of the fact that these devices have the potential to save lives. I am concerned that without a clear system for ensuring (a) the maintenance and good order of all community public access defibrillators, and (b) a system for sharing with all ambulance Trusts the current status of defibrillators i.e. when they are out of service due to missing parts/maintenance, members of the public might be directed to a device that cannot be used, as in this case. ”

    Failure to ensure staff training or communication supports safe decisions about defibrillator readiness
