I would like to increase the detail of tagging for AEDs and so have created this post for people to discuss and then maybe we can come up with a proposal and more documentation on the wiki.
Colour
Most public AED have a main colour of the housing to make them easy to see, unfortunately this isn’t standardised so i want to record the “main” colour. Usually it’s either yellow, orange or green but sometimes it’s transparent. I believe colour=* will be sufficient for this even though the defib itself isn’t necessarily this colour.
Light
Some defibs have a glowing lamp on them or near them to make finding them easier. I would like to tag this with something like
defibrillator:lamp=no/green/red/yellow etc
Sign above
There’s often a small sign nearby, I would like to tag it’s presence but unsure how
defibrillator:signed=yes/no
Booths
Sometimes an AED is contained within an old telephone booth, with a cabinet inside the booth. The booth=* tag can document the type of both, eg K6. Not sure if any other tags are needed to indicate it is inside a booth. I would also like to document whether inside a telephone booth would mean inside=yes or no because I could go either way
Container cabinet/bag
Some AEDs are in a bag hanging on the wall (mostly indoors). Most outdoor AEDs are in a cabinet on a wall. There isn’t a tag currently to detail how it is mounted/contained
defibrillator:mount=cabinet/hook
Cabinet type
There is already a tag for the type of cabinet but it doesn’t have much documentation or use
defibrillator:cabinet=*
Wiki “Type of cabinet the defibrillator is stored in. Values could include vertical_door, horizontal_door, twist, mechanical or no”
I think the two door options are overkill and would like to use “door” as another option. I’m not sure what “mechanical” means
Locked
We need a tag to indicate if the cabinet is locked and if so how it is unlocked
locked=no/keypad/key/button
Access public/private/ emergency call
Most are usable by members of the public but require a key code to access. I believe access=public is correct but there needs to be another tag to indicate you have to call a phone number
There is a tag to indicate which phone number you call, is it’s presence enough or do we need another tag ?
Some examples of different style defibrilators:
