Condition
New AEDs have never been removed from the box or put into service. They include all new pads, batteries and a carrying case.
Recertified AEDs may have been traded in from customers or were demo units for sales representatives. At AED.com, each recertified AED goes through a stringent 10-point inspection process before we offer it to customers.
Warranty
New AEDS have a warranty that is determined by the manufacturer, typically ranging between 5-8 years.
Recertified AEDs from AED.com come standard with a 3-year warranty.
What happens during the recertification process?
Not all recertified AEDs are equal—unless they’re from AED.com. Each recertified AED from AED.com goes through a stringent 10-point process to ensure the AED not only looks brand-new, but also is tuned up and functions to industry standards. AED.com uses in-house, manufacturer-trained biomed technicians for the entire recertification process.
