Upgrading an aging but still-functioning AED is genuinely different from replacing a failed device - here is an honest, practical guide to when and how to make this transition well.
Signs It May Be Time to Upgrade
Difficulty sourcing consumables, an outdated technology generation, or evolving site needs are all reasonable signals worth considering, even without an outright failure.
Compare Your Old Device Against Current Options
Technology has genuinely progressed - a device purchased years ago may lack features now considered standard, worth reviewing against our current range.
Plan the Transition to Avoid a Coverage Gap
Schedule the new device's installation before removing the old one entirely, avoiding any period without genuine coverage.
Retrain Staff on Any Meaningful Differences
If the new device operates differently from the old one - fully automatic versus semi-automatic, for instance - a brief refresher session helps staff adjust confidently.
