During preflight for the AED, which option indicates the unit is ready for use?

• A. Yellow seal
• B. Green seal and flashing green light
• C. Red warning indicator
• D. No indicator

Answer: (B)

During preflight checks, you want signals that confirm the AED is both intact and ready to deploy. The correct indication is a green seal and a flashing green light. The green seal means the device has not been opened or tampered with since its last inspection, so its readiness state is preserved. The flashing green light shows the unit is powered on and in standby, ready to function if needed. If you see a red warning indicator, the device has a fault or needs service, and it cannot be trusted for immediate use. If there’s only a single indicator or none, you can’t confirm readiness. The combination of an intact green seal and a flashing green light is the clear sign the AED is ready for use.
