OEM HeartSine surface-mount cabinet with door-activated alarm, two alarm keys, and clear acrylic window. Built for the samaritan PAD 350P, 360P, and 450P.
The HeartSine samaritan PAD Wall Cabinet (PAD-CAB-04) is the manufacturer-engineered storage cabinet for the samaritan PAD line. Distributed under the HeartSine brand by Stryker (MPN 11516-000024), the cabinet pairs high-visibility placement with theft and tamper deterrence — the two features that separate a cabinet from an open wall bracket.
A door-activated alarm sounds the moment the cabinet opens. Two alarm keys ship with the unit so authorized staff can silence the alarm after a legitimate rescue or training drill. The clear acrylic window keeps the AED's rescue-ready indicator visible from across a room, which makes monthly readiness checks fast and prevents the cabinet from becoming a "dead box" no one inspects.
The PAD-CAB-04 is designed exclusively for the HeartSine samaritan PAD family. The interior is sized to hold the AED with room for spare Pad-Pak electrodes/batteries stored alongside.
Both products keep the same HeartSine samaritan PAD visible and accessible — the difference is whether you need theft deterrence and tamper notification. Here's the breakdown.
The PAD-CAB-04 is a surface-mount cabinet — no wall cutout, no drywall demolition. Four mounting holes on the back plate accept standard #8 or #10 hardware. Basic screws ship with the cabinet; supply wall anchors that match your substrate (toggle bolts for drywall, sleeve anchors for masonry, wood screws into studs).
U.S. state laws on AED placement, signage, and registration vary. The PAD-CAB-04 meets the equipment-side requirements for an alarmed, publicly visible AED storage in every state — but where you mount it, how you register it, and how you log inspections is governed by your state. A summary of the higher-regulation states is below. Confirm current requirements with your state EMS authority before installation.
AED registration with local EMS required. Monthly readiness checks must be logged. Signage and AED location notification to building occupants required (Health & Safety Code §1797.196).
AED owners must register with the regional EMS council. Health care facilities and public schools have additional signage and training requirements (Public Health Law §3000-b).
AED owners must notify the local EMS agency of each AED's location. Regular maintenance and physician oversight required (Health & Safety Code §779).
Physical Fitness Facility Medical Emergency Preparedness Act requires AEDs in fitness facilities with trained staff. Public schools (K-12) require AEDs on premises.
AED owners encouraged to register with local EMS. State schools and public buildings have specific placement and training requirements (F.S. §768.1325).
Cardiac Arrest Survival Act provides Good Samaritan protection nationwide. OSHA recommends AED placement in workplaces where cardiac risk or response delay exists. FAA requires AEDs on most commercial aircraft.
