Electrodes and batteries

With our wide selection of AEDs, we also offer the necessary electrodes, batteries and additional accessories.

Electrodes

AED electrodes provide cardiac rhythm analysis and shock delivery. The electrodes can only be used once and have a shelf life of about 1.5 – 2 years. The electrodes have a adhesive gel that ensures that the electrodes stay in place during CPR. After about a 1.5 – 2 years this gel starts to dry out and will therefore no longer provide the proper adhesion.

Batteries

Every defibrillator-battery has a different lifespan. The lifespan of the battery depends on the usage of the defibrillator. When the defibrillator is used regularly, the battery will logically lose power a lot faster than when it is on standby for years. The lifespan also depends on type of defibrillator. The defibrillator regularly executes a self-test. During this self-test the defibrillator measures the battery voltage. The defibrillator automatically indicates when the battery is due for replacement.
