Notes of Decisions
Duty of Private Entity
The regulations promulgated under the Emergency Medical Services Act (35 P. S. § § 6921—6938) (EMS Act) do not create a duty of a private tennis club to have an automated external defibrillator (AED) available for use by untrained laypersons. By regulating the use of the AED by trained professionals, the General Assembly impliedly excluded untrained laypersons from the EMS Act and its regulations. Atcovitz v.
