Express Guide

AED: The AED brand followed by the specific model

Price: Based in USD currency.

Pad Expiration Length:  All AEDs are equipped with single use adult or pediatric pads, that must be replaced when they expire, or are used. Pediatric pads are separate from adult pads, they reduce the energy delivered by the AED to pediatric levels. The Philips FRx uses a “Pediatric key” in combination with adult pads, attenuating shock energy levels to pediatric levels. 

CPR Feedback: An AED and Pads equipped with CPR feedback will allow you to assess the quality of the CPR you are performing in real time. The AED will also you cues that assist you to carry out CPR more effectively, i.e. telling you when to push harder, faster, or deeper.  CPR Feedback can instill more confidence in the rescuer and provides an objective measure of CPR quality.

The Zoll AED Plus is the only AED that comes standard with CPR Feedback Pads. The pads are standard with every purchase.

Cardiac Science G5 has CPR feedback available with upgraded pads. The standard pads do not have the ability to provide CPR feedback. 

Four Year Maintenance Cost: AED Pads and batteries have a usable lifespan that varies by the specific AED. Our four year maintenance estimate accounts for the cost of pads and batteries every four years. Some AEDs will need two sets of pads over this time period, while some will only require a single set of pads, due to varying shelf life standards set by the manufacturer. 

Replaced After Each Use: On all AEDs, all pads are single use and will need to be replaced between each patient use. Batteries do not need to be replaced after each use for most AEDs. Some AED models combine the pads and batteries together. We have identified the AEDs above and their replacement requirements after each use.
