Physio-Control Accessories

Adult and pediatric electrode pads for LIFEPAK CR Plus, Express, and 1000 models have a shelf life printed on the pad packaging, typically 2 years from manufacture. The LIFEPAK CR2 QUIK-STEP electrode pad carries a 4-year shelf life guarantee. All Physio-Control pads are single-use and must be replaced immediately after any rescue where a shock is delivered.

No. The LIFEPAK 1000 and LIFEPAK CR2 use different battery packs, different pad connector types, and different part numbers. The LIFEPAK 1000 uses REDI-PAK and QUIK-COMBO pad connectors, while the CR2 uses the QUIK-STEP connector with its cprINSIGHT sensing circuitry. They are not interchangeable. Always confirm the model name and part number before ordering.

All Physio-Control LIFEPAK batteries sold by Total AEDs carry a minimum of 4 years of standby operational life from the date of installation. We stock current-date inventory. The exact installation expiration date is printed on the battery label. If you need to confirm the manufacture date of the specific lot in stock before ordering, call (855) 286-6384 and we will check inventory dating for you.

Replace the LIFEPAK battery every 4 years from the installation date, or immediately if the status indicator turns red, the unit emits a periodic alert beep, or the self-test log records a battery failure. Order before the 4-year mark to avoid any lapse in rescue readiness.

Yes. Physio-Control/Stryker's warranty requires use of authorized accessories. Installing a non-OEM battery or pad set voids the device warranty from that date forward. In addition, non-OEM parts may not meet the electrical specifications required for correct self-test performance and may underperform during an actual rescue.

Adult REDI-PAK pads 11996-000017 are for patients 55 lbs or over and 8 years or older. For children under 8 years or under 55 lbs, the Physio-Control Infant/Child Electrode Pads 11101-000016 or the Pediatric Starter Kit are required. Do not use adult pads on small children as the energy dose will be too high for pediatric patients.

QUIK-COMBO is Physio-Control's pad-to-cable connector system. The Leads-In version has the cable already integrated into the pad assembly so pad and cable are replaced as one unit. The standard QUIK-COMBO uses a separate cable. The LIFEPAK 1000 accepts both versions. The LIFEPAK CR2 uses its own QUIK-STEP connector, which is not the same as QUIK-COMBO.

Yes. Physio-Control electrode pads and batteries are FDA-cleared Class II medical device accessories, manufactured and tested to ANSI/AAMI DF80 and IEC 60601-2-4 standards. Every accessory sold by Total AEDs is sourced from Physio-Control/Stryker authorized distribution.

Yes. The Physio-Control LIFEPAK CR2 Adult/Child 4-Year Electrode Pad with QUIK-STEP is the CR2's standard electrode and is specifically engineered to work with the CR2's cprINSIGHT technology, which analyzes heart rhythm and provides CPR coaching without interrupting compressions. This pad is not compatible with any other LIFEPAK model.
