In this post, we want to educate you on our Encore Series: our premier line of recertified AEDs. We’ll discuss the benefits of buying recertified and how we ensure that our devices are “good as new.”
Why Buy Refurbished?
The main reason people choose recertified devices over new ones is affordability. In most cases, recertified AEDs cost less than 50% of their new counterparts. Especially for users who are new to the world of defibrillators, these lower price points make emergency equipment accessible and available to everyone.
Another benefit of buying recertified AEDs is that it helps the planet. Manufacturing machines as complex and durable as AEDs requires significant time, energy, and resources. From the plastic casing to the batteries to the electrodes, each component of the AED relies on natural resources. Buying recertified equipment, which reuses large components of each device, is a simple way to help conserve our planet's resources.
The third reason that recertified AEDs are a great investment is that they work just as well as brand-new devices.
Our Encore Series Process
We take great pride in our Encore Series AEDs, and for good reason. Over two decades of experience selling defibrillators have allowed us to develop a process that enables us to offer the longest warranty on recertified devices in the industry.
Each Encore AED must pass a multi-point inspections to ensure that every aspect of the device is working properly without any hiccups, glitches, or malfunctions. This includes going above and beyond OEM recommendations by testing three shocks into defibrillator analyzers and recording the results to ensure consistent performance. Once the AED’s functionality is tested, each device is outfitted with new electrodes and batteries to enhance the longevity of the defibrillator. After another round of rigorous testing, our devices are placed on the market, backed by a 2-year warranty, making the Encore Series a trusted and economical choice for all users.
