HeartStation AED & Defibrillator Supplies

When someone collapses in sudden cardiac arrest, the minutes before EMS arrives decide the outcome. HeartStation supports that critical window with automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and the accessories that keep them ready to deploy. Whether you're outfitting a workplace, gym, school, or first-response bag, this collection focuses on the equipment that lets a bystander act fast and act correctly.

AED readiness isn't a one-time purchase — it's ongoing. The most common reason a defibrillator fails in an emergency is an expired battery or dried-out electrode pads, which is why every HeartStation program depends on keeping consumables current. Adult and pediatric pads use different energy settings, so facilities that may treat children should stock both. Cabinets, wall signage, and rescue kits (gloves, shears, razor, and a barrier mask) round out a deployment so the device is visible, protected, and complete the moment it's grabbed.

Buyers frequently ask how often AED components need replacing: pads generally carry a two-to-five-year shelf life and batteries a similar span, both printed with expiration dates that should be logged and checked routinely. A device with a self-test indicator makes those inspections simpler, but nothing replaces a maintenance schedule. If your organization is subject to workplace safety or state AED regulations, documented checks and accessible placement are typically part of compliance.
