Going forward, with recent announcements from Physio-Control, there are a few things owners need to know about the CR Plus devices, as well as potential investors in this device.

Discontinuation of Device

Since 2002, the LIFEPAK CR Plus has been Physio-Control’s premier, top-of-the-line defibrillator, however, it has recently been announced that Physio-Control have made the decision to discontinue the LIFEPAK CR Plus defibrillator range, so they can focus on bringing new technologies to their product portfolio.

This range of defibrillators will be discontinued as of April 1st 2019.

Devices will be available until June. Despite this discontinuation of the device, Physio-Control have stated that they remain committed to supporting the LIFEPAK CR Plus technology, therefore services, the CHARGE-PAK battery chargers and electrode pads will still be available to purchase.

Any LIFEPAK CR Plus that is purchased prior to April 1st will still carry the 8-year limited warranty.

Future Proof

Physio-Control have decided that the LIFEPAK AED brand will continue its journey into the future with the LIFEPAK CR2 defibrillator range. The LIFEPAK CR2 defibrillator is available in both a fully-automatic and semi-automatic configurations, has an IP rating of 55, is equipped with industry-first technologies and has two connectivity options, 3G and WiFi.

One of the most notable industry firsts that the CR2 is equipped with is cprINSIGHT technology. This technological advancement allows chest compressions to continue on the casualty whilst the defibrillator is analysing the patient’s heart rhythm. This allows for more ‘hands-on’ time, which can provide the casualty with a higher chance of survival.

With 4 configurations to choose from, the LIFEPAK CR2 is suited to a wide variety of end-users.
