Maximizing the Life of the SafeGuard
Power System Overview
The LIFEPAK CR Plus and LIFEPAK EXPRESS defibrillators are equipped with the SafeGuard power
system. The SafeGuard power system, unique in the industry, is comprised of an internal battery and
CHARGE-PAK
battery charger. Many AEDs are powered by external batteries that lose capacity over
™
time. The SafeGuard power system offers a dual layer of security as the CHARGE-PAK keeps the robust
internal battery at its optimum level.
Power System Useful Life
The internal battery is non-replaceable and is designed to last for the life of your device—8 years in a new
CR Plus. The CHARGE-PAK battery charger is designed to last 2 years if the device is maintained
appropriately and has not been used in an event.
To maximize the life of both the internal battery and the CHARGE-PAK, we recommend the following
storage and maintenance procedures.
Storage
To properly maintain the readiness of the power system, it is important to make sure that there is no
pressure on the On/Off button. The following tips will help you maintain device readiness:
Soft Carrying Case
If your device has a soft shell carrying case, place this on your device as it provides an extra layer of
protection around the On/Off button.
• Make sure the carrying case is secured correctly. The two
Velcro
fasteners that hinge the top and bottom sections
®
of the carrying case should be strapped under the handle.
Position the case so that you can clearly see the readiness
display and so the bag closes securely when you pull down
the yellow tab.
• M ake sure the top of the case does not press against the
On/Off button.
If your device does not come with a soft shell carrying case,
make sure it is stored in a location where the On/Off button is protected.
Hard Case
If you are storing your device in a moving vehicle or location subject to movement or vibration, you may
want to consider storing your device in a hard case to prevent other objects from bumping against the
On/Off button.
