Lifepak CR Plus Charge-Pak and 1 x Adult Electrodes

LIFEPAK CR Plus CHARGE-PAK and 1 x Adult Electrodes – Everything You Need to Know

The LIFEPAK CR Plus CHARGE-PAK and 1 x Adult Electrodes is an essential replacement kit for the LIFEPAK CR Plus Defibrillator. This kit ensures your defibrillator remains fully functional by providing a new CHARGE-PAK battery charger and a set of adult electrode pads, both of which should be replaced at the same time to maintain optimal performance.

Key Features of the LIFEPAK CR Plus CHARGE-PAK & Electrodes

• Complete AED Maintenance Kit: The CHARGE-PAK battery and adult electrode pads are replaced together, minimising maintenance efforts and ensuring your defibrillator is always emergency-ready.
• 2-Year Standby Life: The battery and electrode pads have a two-year shelf life, ensuring long-lasting reliability.
• Trickle-Charge Technology: The CHARGE-PAK battery system automatically maintains the LIFEPAK CR Plus’ internal battery charge, reducing the need for manual battery replacements.
• Fast & Easy Replacement: Designed for simple plug-and-play installation with LIFEPAK CR Plus AEDs.
• Single-Use Adult Electrodes: The included AED pads are pre-connected and should be replaced immediately after use or upon expiration.

Why Regular CHARGE-PAK and Electrode Replacement Matters

Maintaining your AED is crucial to ensuring it's ready for a sudden cardiac arrest emergency. The LIFEPAK CR Plus defibrillator does not have a separate removable battery—it relies on the CHARGE-PAK for power. If the CHARGE-PAK is expired or depleted, the AED will not function.

Key Signs It’s Time to Replace Your CHARGE-PAK & Electrodes:

• Expiration Date Reached – The CHARGE-PAK and pads expire every 2 years and must be replaced.
• AED Alerts – If your LIFEPAK CR Plus displays a low battery warning, a replacement kit is required immediately.
• After Use – If the AED has been deployed for a rescue, the electrode pads must be replaced, and the CHARGE-PAK should be checked for depletion.

???? Tip: To avoid downtime, always keep a spare CHARGE-PAK and electrode set in stock.
