What is an Encore Series Refurbished AED?
We recognize that purchasing AEDs for your organization is expensive. Ordering used AEDs is an attractive option if your business or institution is operating on a limited budget, but it's important to choose a device that has been properly recertified to ensure it's ready to rely on during a medical emergency.
So what's the difference between a used AED and our Encore Series of refurbished AEDs? Here are four ways we stand out:
- We only recertify AEDs which have gone through the premarket approval process. As mandated by the FDA, AEDs which have not gone through the PMA process will not have device and accessory support beyond February 3, 2022. The process for PMA approval is much more intensive than the previous standard, and the goal is to ensure device safety and reliability.
- Our warranty on refurbished AEDs is four years – the longest in the industry. If the device fails at any point during that time, we will replace it and cover shipping costs.
- Every used AED defibrillator goes through a rigorous, multi-point inspection process.
- We have 20+ years of experience inspecting and certifying used AEDs. Our founders pioneered the recertification process in 1999.
