AEDs are similar to a smartphone, car, or any other technology product — there comes a time when you have to upgrade to a newer model. AEDs are continuing to improve in ways that have the potential to positively impact the outcomes of life or death situations. While they have quite a long “shelf life” compared to many other products, AEDs do eventually need to be replaced.
Trading-In Old AEDs
Many older AEDs still work and have the potential to save a life. However, as technology continues to advance, AEDs continue to advance as well. This means that the older AED models become less efficient, less effective, and less beneficial.
If your AED is at least 10 years old, it might be time to think about trading in your old unit for a newer, more efficient AED model. There are multiple reasons to consider when upgrading your older AED for a newer one. Newer AEDs are more technologically advanced, provide a higher level of responder support and costs a lot less to maintain.
Has the Manufacturer Discontinued the Support for your AEDs? Or are they Expensive to Maintain?
AEDs that are 10 to 20 years old are usually too outdated to be supported by the AEDs manufacturer. Thus, when it is time to replace the batteries and electrode pads, they will no longer be available since they are not produced anymore. If you have an AED that is 10 years or older, get it checked by Marelly to see if the manufacturer is still supporting it and if there are any possible recalls tied to the unit.
Do your AEDs have the latest software required by the manufacturer? If not, now is the time to think about taking advantage of available rebate/trade-in programs. When it comes time to upgrade to a new AED, wouldn’t it be beneficial to receive a rebate check in the mail for each AED you trade-in to replace?
Even AEDs that are only 3 or 4 years old, can be tedious and expensive to maintain. How often do you have to change your pads and batteries? This is important to monitor. Newer AEDs are more affordable to maintain than older ones.
If you find one of the AEDs accessories have passed the expiration date, the electrode pads are most likely too dry to conduct electricity, and the battery of the AED might not have the power to create a shock or turn on. It is critical to keep your AED properly maintained, especially if there is a sudden cardiac arrest emergency.
