I've seen several in public places in the US ... all in locked plexiglas cabinets to which no one available has the key ... another problem with the AED units is battery life.

The batteries go dead while you're waiting to have the devices used.

The batteries cost nearly as much as replacing the units. (I've talked with the head of EMS for our county, and that's the biggest problem with them).
