Do I need special pads to use an AED on a child?
No. VIVEST AEDs use universal pads for both adults and children. Just press the button to switch to child mode.
Can AED pads be reused?
How often should AED pads be replaced?
AED pads should be replaced before their expiration date, which is clearly indicated on the pad packaging. Over time, the gel on the pads can dry out, reducing their effectiveness. VIVEST AEDs monitor pad status and will issue an alert when the pads are nearing expiration or have expired, ensuring you’re always prepared for emergencies.
What type of battery does the VIVEST AED have?
A1 & A3 AEDs uses a non-rechargeable Lithium Manganese Dioxide (LiMnO₂) battery; The P1/P3 AEDs come standard with a disposable LiMnO₂ battery. For users who prefer reusable solutions, an optional rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery is also available.
How long does an AED battery last?
VIVEST A1 and A3 batteries last up to 5 years on standby; P1 and P3 batteries series last 3 years. Self-check alerts notify when to replace.
How many shocks can an AED deliver? Is the battery sufficient?
The VIVEST A1 and A3 defibrillators can deliver over 200 shocks at 150 joules, and the P1 and P3 defibrillators up to 250 shocks at its maximum energy level. This ensures ample capacity during a single rescue or even multiple emergencies.
How can I tell if the battery or electrode pads need replacement?
VIVEST AEDs automatically perform regular self-test. If the battery is low or the electrode pads are expired, the device will issue visual and/or audible alerts. You can also verify their status using the management software.
