Check one AED's pad + battery expiry dates and record months remaining.
Read the key points, then use one takeaway in your next public rep.
AED consumables are engineered to work reliably, but they are not permanent.
Pads: The adhesive and gel can degrade and dry out. If the gel is compromised, the AED may not deliver therapy effectively.
Batteries: All battery chemistries age, and heat speeds that process. Even if an indicator shows "ready", you still need a date-based replacement plan.
Treat expiry dates like a checklist item: visible, logged, and reviewed on a routine schedule.
Check one AED's pad + battery expiry dates and record months remaining. Use one takeaway in one public preview before requesting team access.
