"Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding while the AED was temporarily out of service.
"Having a working AED available in the community is vital in the event of a cardiac emergency, and we appreciate your support while we ensured it was fully operational again."
The group added: "As always, if you ever need to use it in an emergency, call 999 or 112 and the operator will guide you."
A list of AEDs in Newbridge can be viewed on the official Instagram page for Newbridge Community First Responders.
