Why AED Renewal & Maintenance Matters

  • 90% of AED failures happen due to poor maintenance
  • Most AEDs have a manufacturer warranty for up to 8 years. After the warranty has expired it is good practice to trade in your old AED for a new one that has the updated technology and components.
  • Expired pads and dead batteries result in device failure
  • Many businesses and public facilities are legally required to maintain a ready AED

Is Your AED Still Reliable?

Awareness Is Key

Many AED owners are unaware their device may be nearing end-of-life or falling out of manufacturer support. Knowing when an AED is expired, outdated, or at risk is critical to ensuring it works when it matters most.

You should consider replacing your AED if it is:

More than 8 years old

(may no longer be supported)

Beeping or showing
a red light

Discontinued or difficult to find pads/batteries for

If your AED fits any of these conditions — it’s time to start planning a renewal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I replace my AED?

AEDs come with a warranty of up to 8 years. Regularly inspecting your AED ensures it remains in working order. Simply verify that the indicator light is blinking or shows a green check mark, ensure there’s no chirping, and confirm the pads’ expiration dates. Checking monthly is a best practice to maintain reliability and compliance.

Why is regular AED maintenance important?

Regular maintenance ensures your AED will work during an emergency. Without it, pads may expire or batteries may deplete, which can cause device failure and lead to non-compliance with safety regulations.

What components of the AED require regular replacement?

The main components needing replacement are:
Electrode Pads – typically expire every 2 years
Batteries – usually last between 2 and 5 years depending on the model
Always refer to your AED’s manual for exact timelines.

How can I track the expiration dates of my AED components?

VitalAED provides free expiration tracking for all customers. We’ll monitor the expiration dates of your AED pads and batteries—whether they expire in 2, 4, or 5 years—and notify you ahead of time so you’re always prepared.

How do I know if my AED is no longer supported by the manufacturer?

If your AED is over 8 years old, the manufacturer may have discontinued support. This could mean parts are no longer available or software updates have stopped. Contact the manufacturer or VitalAED to check your model status.

What are the signs that my AED needs immediate attention or replacement?

Common warning signs include:
– Beeping or chirping sounds
– Red or flashing lights
– Expired components
– Physical damage
If you notice any of these, act immediately to service or replace the device.

Are there legal requirements for AED maintenance in public places?

Yes. Many states and industries require AEDs in public or commercial spaces to be properly maintained. Failure to comply could lead to fines, legal issues, or liability in emergencies.
