One register for any brand, and a clear line on what leaves the product.
A mixed fleet is an AED program with units from more than one brand. The register keeps every unit in one list. Mixed fleet covers the register, the Brand column and the filter by brand or site.
On data out, the line is clear. ReadyAED does not connect to third-party management services, and company SSO is the only integration shown in the product today. Exports are report, CSV and device history.

Moving to ReadyAED
A records move, while any service arrangement stays.
Moving is a records move. Your devices stay, and any service arrangement stays with the supplier you choose.
Before the move, write down the devices the current service covers, so the register and the service list start from the same unit count. Keep one owner for the register, and agree which records must stay in the old system for audit.
- Keep the current service arrangement running. Do not cancel anything on the strength of this page.
- Add each device by hand, one at a time. Bulk import is not confirmed: confirmation of bulk import or migration tooling.
- Enter the fields you can confirm for the unit: brand, model, serial number, asset ID, site, location, pads expiry and battery reading.
- Upload the documents you keep for each device, such as manuals and service records.
- Run the first inspections from ReadyAED and make sure that the register matches the old list.
- When every line matches, retire the old record after your next audit.
When to choose Arch
This page does not describe when to choose Arch, because the Arch facts are withheld until the source is confirmed. Ask the supplier for a written scope of the service before you compare.
Choose ReadyAED if the fleet holds more than one brand, if you want a software-only purchase with one flat rate, or if you want the register to stay separate from any supply order. The right answer follows the way you buy.
