Now that you have invested in the safety of the people you care most about whether it be students, employees, customers, or for home use, there is one very more important step to take to make sure that your aed is ready to save a life when it is needed. A lot of my new customer have either had their Philips Heartstart AED donated to them by a local non for profit or have purchased it from a sales person who does not know how to use the equipment which leaves you the customer without knowing what you have for responsabilities after the sale. Although all Philips aeds run a daily self check checking the aed components, M5070A heartstart battery and the Philips AED Pads for a malfunction you are still required to inspect your unit every month. What you are inspecting is that the Philips AED Pads ( M5071A ) on the philips onsite are not expired generally they are good for 2 plus years and that the hearstart battery is still full charged by simply making sure the green light is flashing.
For superior quality and fit it is always best to purchase genuine manufacturer parts for whatever brand of aed you own, by trying to save a couple dollars you may put your life or the ones you care about at risk.
