Defib bungle prompts St John systems change The ambulance service is changing its systems after members of the public could not open a locked defibrillator box by Takapuna Beach to help a man who died last week. A caller to 111 was given a generic code to open the box containing the automated external defibrillator [AED] but the code
did not work. “We apologise for the distress this may have caused,” said Hato Hone St John national triage and dispatch manager John-Michael Swannix. The AED was not one of St John’s and had a unique code that was unfortunately
not found in the ambulance service’s system during the call. Efforts to revive the man failed. Police say he was spotted unresponsive in the water around midday on Monday 17 November and was pulled onto the beach To page 2
