LIFEPAK CR Plus | Review

Simply put, the LIFEPAK CR Plus is an amazing AED that perfectly demonstrates why over 90% of rescue professionals use LIFEPAK devices in their own AED programs. Featuring exceptional simplicity, portability, minimal maintenance, escalating therapy of up to 360 Joules, an eight-year warranty, and more, the selling points are plentiful. As a result, the LIFEPAK CR Plus is the AED we most often recommend for our customers.

The LIFEPAK CR Plus has been designed with both the layperson and trained professional in mind. Combining Physio-Control's escalating therapy (recently recommended by the American Heart Association's 2010 Guidelines) with both simplicity and portability, the LIFEPAK CR Plus is perfect for anyone looking to implement an AED program, large or small.

Simplicity is key in a traumatic situation, particularly for untrained responders. Physio-Control took this into account and set out to create the easiest AED to use with their LIFEPAK CR Plus. Simply press the release button to open the lid and the LIFEPAK CR Plus automatically turns on. Once opened, clear voice prompts to walk you through the entire rescue process, from calling 911, to CPR, defibrillation and more.

The LIFEPAK CR Plus also comes in two different AED models: a semi-automatic model and a fully-automatic model. If you're looking for an AED in which you have to press the shock button when prompted (trained professionals usually prefer this model), you'll want the semi-automatic model. For those looking to have the LIFEPAK CR Plus administer the shock without the need to press the button, the fully-automatic is your model of choice.

For lay responders, that is, people that do not respond on a regular basis to sudden cardiac arrest, the fully-automatic option is by far the best pick. If you're purchasing an AED for a church, school, small business, or community center, we highly recommend the fully-automatic model.

The size of the LIFEPAK CR Plus is also perfect and makes for fantastic portability. Weighing a meager four-and-a-half pounds, the LIFEPAK CR Plus is one of the lightest AEDs. In rescue situations requiring traveling of any sort, the LIFEPAK CR Plus performs wonderfully.

The LIFEPAK CR Plus shares the same technology used by Physio-Control's more complex devices that can run over $30,000. As many rescue professionals will attest, Physio-Control is preferred due to their patented ADAPTIV biphasic waveform and escalating therapy. This means that the first shock is delivered at 200 Joules, and, should this initial shock not start the patient's heart, the LIFEPAK CR Plus will then escalate its energy output up to 360 Joules. In short, if the first shock doesn't work, the energy output increases for greater chances of reviving the heart. Makes sense (and it works).

Simplicity also extends to the maintenance of the LIFEPAK CR Plus. The CHARGE-PAK (the battery system for the LIFEPAK CR Plus) and electrodes ship to you with identical expiration dates, allowing you to keep track of only one date rather than two. Once the expiration date is reached (around two years), simply replace the two at the same time.

The LIFEPAK CR Plus also has the lowest price for electrodes and battery accessories, making it the most cost-efficient AED in terms of long-term maintenance and costs.

Along with keeping watch of expiration dates, AED owners are often required by law to regularly check their device to ensure their device is in working order. Physio-Control once again has you covered. The LIFEPAK CR Plus performs basic self-checks weekly, in addition to a more thorough diagnostic test conducted on a monthly basis. Maintenance for the LIFEPAK CR Plus is one of the easiest and least time-consuming out of any available.

Please note that we recommend AED programs tailored for lay responders, that is people that are not medical professionals, to incorporate the fully-automatic LIFEPAK CR Plus. This is by far the easiest AED to use and ensures user error is kept to an absolute minimum, preventing scenarios of responders not delivering the shock to the patient when in need.

Physio-Control also has you covered in terms of the warranty, equipping each LIFEPAK CR Plus with a complete manufacturer's warranty of 8 years.

The LIFEPAK CR Plus is an amazing AED and one we recommend without a hint of reservation and one that we guarantee you won't be disappointed with. The LIFPAK CR Plus is the favorite here at our offices and with thousands of lives already saved by Physio-Control, the proof is also in the numbers.
