Manufacturer recalls and simply aging devices both eventually require replacement - here is an honest, practical guide to what to do once you realize your AED needs replacing.
Confirm Whether a Recall Genuinely Applies
Check your device's specific model and serial number against manufacturer recall notices before assuming a general news report applies to your unit.
Don't Leave a Recalled Device in Place
A device under genuine recall should be removed from active service immediately, even temporarily, until replaced or resolved.
Aging Devices Deserve Proactive Attention Too
Devices approaching the end of typical manufacturer-supported life deserve proactive replacement planning, not waiting for an actual failure.
Use Replacement as an Opportunity to Reassess Needs
Replacing a device is a natural moment to reconsider whether your current model still suits your site's evolved needs.
