Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 We just replaced our over ten years. Auctioned them off and got 30.00 each Henry Barber Lifepak 500 What is the lifespan of a Lifepak 500 AED. We have numerous AED's that are on engines and staff vehicles that have never been used. With the economy and shrinking budgets I am wondering how long should they be kept in service? How long are other department using theirs. When should they be replaced? Would love to hear other opinions. __________________________________________________________ Click here to find the perfect banking opportunity! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2131/fc/BLSrjnsKoDNHBmsUgnL47D6rNApKjgeXxtU0\ ZP9HxPMKMlYrcVCXSeIpjtW/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 We've been involved with AEDS since the 1990s, and as far as I know there are none that have failed generally due to age. They don't wear out in general, because they get very little use. What I tell all my customers (we have AEDs that have been in place for 10 years) is that, if they still self-check ok, they are probably ok. I got rid of all our older, monphasic AEDs when the evidence for lower-energy biphasic shocks made it clear this was a superior technology. But as far as a general replacement due to age, I don't think we've seen that happen yet. Steve , LP lwd7734@... wrote: > What is the lifespan of a Lifepak 500 AED.
