Abstract: A defibrillator storage device including a housing defining an interior storage compartment configured to hold a removable automated external defibrillator therein, a door pivotally attached to the housing, an alarm disposed within the housing, and a tether attached at a first end thereof to an interior wall of the housing and at a second end thereof to the alarm, the tether configured to be routed through a handle of the automated external defibrillator such that removal of the automated external defibrillator from the interior compartment causes the second end of the tether to be pulled from the alarm, thereby triggering the alarm.

Abstract: The automated external defibrillator cabinet device includes a defibrillator and a housing in which the defibrillator is disposed. There is a device appropriate for signaling the removal of the defibrillator from the housing. There is a link connecting the housing to the defibrillator with a device controlling the operation of the device for signaling in case the link is broken.
