"In order to have your LIFEPAK CR Plus working in the best condition, when you need it the most, there are a number of things that you can do regularly to make sure it works. Fortunately, medical emergencies rarely occur, so a lot of times these life-saving tools are kept in a cabinet and never looked at, until they are really needed. Any solid tool that you own will need to be properly maintained and the LIFEPAK CR Plus is no exception, so follow along and learn four tips to keep yours in top condition.

I want you to first remember where you store your defibrillator, then go grab it and open up the lid. Look on the inner and outer parts of the tool for any signs of aging, deterioration, or wear and tear. Then, look at the battery indicator light and you will typically see that this light says the device is OK and ready for use.

It is important to go through this device, even further, to be certain that it will be ready to use, if needed. Pull out the electrode packaging pads and look at them for signs of aging. These will be hooked to the patient's chest when used and are very important to keep up-to-date ...

The third recommendation to help you with the maintenance of your LIFEPAK CR Plus is that you want to open up your machine and pull the battery out. On the battery is an expiration date, which is important to look at on a regular basis, even though you might think that you know when it expires. It is important to get rid of an expired battery and replace it immediately.

You will also want to visually inspect the outer case of the LIFEPAK CR Plus for any cracks, dents, or other signs of distress. Look carefully at your defibrillator for any evidence that dust is seeping in or a water leak has affected your important tool. Now select a date a month from now, as your maintenance day and write it on your calendar, and if you ever need another machine like this, then take a look at our popular LIFEPAK 1000 in addition."
