The Lifepak CR Plus AED served many workplaces, schools, and public spaces well when it was first introduced. However, this device was officially discontinued in April 2019, and it no longer meets modern standards for cardiac emergency response in Canada. Without ongoing manufacturer support, organizations are exposed to unnecessary risk when it comes to AED readiness, compliance, and legal protection.
If your organization is still relying on a Lifepak CR Plus AED, there are several important concerns to be aware of. Pads and batteries are becoming increasingly difficult to purchase, and when they are available, the costs are rising rapidly. The technology in the CR Plus is also outdated. It does not provide real-time CPR feedback, does not offer bilingual voice prompts for English- and French-speaking responders, and does not include WiFi connectivity that helps organizations confirm their AED is rescue-ready at all times. Because the model has been discontinued, there are no firmware updates, no upgrade path, and no manufacturer support moving forward.
To reduce risk and improve survival readiness, The AEDShop in Canada is helping customers transition to modern, Health Canada-approved AEDs. We offer trade-in savings of up to $600 for organizations replacing their Lifepak CR Plus with advanced models such as the ZOLL AED 3, ZOLL AED Plus, Philips FRx, or Cardiac Science Powerheart G5. These devices provide significant improvements including real-time CPR coaching, simplified status checks, long-lasting pads and batteries, and full bilingual support. WiFi-enabled maintenance features also ensure your AED is visible and trackable, so you can confirm it is always ready for use.
Every AED purchased from The AEDShop includes access to TrackMyAED™, Canada’s leading AED monitoring and compliance program. TrackMyAED helps organizations stay ahead of expiry dates, inspection schedules, and readiness requirements. This protects your investment while reducing liability and ensuring compliance with Canadian standards.
The bottom line is simple: if your AED is outdated and unsupported, it might not be ready when someone experiences sudden cardiac arrest. Now is the time to upgrade to a reliable, fully supported device that aligns with Canadian regulations and today’s rescue expectations.
