The maintenance of your defibrillator is just as important as it is to own one to ensure your life-saving device remains in a ready to rescue state at all times.

Knowing when to replace your defibrillator's pads and batteries is crucial to avoid finding yourself in a situation where your defibrillator is unable to provide life-saving treatment in an emergency.

At defibshop, we assist defibrillator guardians through our FREE reminder service. Our expiry reminders will alert you that a set of pads or a battery is due to expire. The responsibility to keep track of multiple dates and locations ultimately lies with the defibrillator guardian.  The expiry dates can typically be found on the back of the product, either next to the egg timer symbol, or near the factory icon.

Where do I find the expiry date on my pads?

You will find the date on the pad package.  Look for an egg timer symbol, the date of expiry will be next to this. The date is structured in the format of YYYY/MM/DD.

Where do I find the expiry date on my battery?

You will find the date on the back of the battery. There may be a couple of dates.  A date next to an egg timer symbol is the expiry date. A date next to a factory symbol, is the date of manufacture - battery life will need to be added to it (typically 4,5 or 7 years dependent on model).  The date is structured in the format of YYYY/MM/DD.

Where do I find the Lot number on my defibrillator?

The lot number is typically found on the back of the unit.  It usually consists of letters and numbers but may vary depending on the manufacturer.
