Discontinued AED Alert: Replace Your LIFEPAK CR Plus or Cardiac Science G3 Now

Are You Using a Discontinued AED?

A discontinued AED can fail when you need it most. Many organizations in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia are still using discontinued AED models, such as the LIFEPAK CR Plus and Cardiac Science G3. Many organizations across Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia are still relying on older AEDs.

Two of the most common are:

• • LIFEPAK CR Plus AED

• • Cardiac Science Powerheart G3 AED

These devices were once industry standard. Today, both are discontinued and at the end of life.

If you still have one, your AED may not be ready when you need it.

What “Discontinued AED” Really Means

A discontinued AED is no longer supported by the manufacturer.

This creates immediate operational risk:

• • Batteries are being phased out

• • Pads are becoming difficult to source

• • Service and support are ending

• • Compliance becomes harder to maintain

Even if your AED powers on, it may not function in a real emergency. A discontinued AED cannot be relied on during an emergency.

LIFEPAK CR Plus AED: Support Is Ending

The LIFEPAK CR Plus AED is still widely used. However, it is now approaching the end of its support lifecycle.

What this means:

• • Replacement batteries and pads are becoming limited

• • Long-term maintenance is no longer reliable

• • You are operating on borrowed time

This is not a future issue. It is happening now. If your device is a discontinued AED, replacement should be a priority

---

Cardiac Science G3 AED: Fully End-of-Life

The Cardiac Science Powerheart G3 AED has reached complete end-of-life status.

Key concerns:

• • No guaranteed parts availability

• • No manufacturer support

• • Increasing failure risk

If you are still using a G3, replacement is no longer optional.
