Department of Health guidelines state that schools can hold 'spare' AAIs.1
Schools are advised to hold an appropriate quantity of a single brand of AAI device to avoid confusion in
administration and training. Where all pupils are prescribed the same device, the school should obtain the
same brand for the spare AAI. If two or more brands are currently held by the school, the school may wish to
purchase the brand most commonly prescribed to its pupils. However, the decision as to how many devices
and brands to purchase will depend on local circumstances and is left to the discretion of the school.
