Product update: LIFEPAK CR Plus and EXPRESS support ends

Stryker has announced that it will discontinue the QUIK-PAK electrodes and CHARGE-PAK battery charger for the LIFEPAK CR Plus and LIFEPAK EXPRESS AEDs in February 2026 .
The cause lies in persistent problems with the availability of parts and security of supply.

What does this mean in concrete terms?

• The QUIK-PAK and CHARGE-PAK warranty is supported for 90 days after discontinuation .

• Without these consumables, the AEDs in question can no longer be kept operational .

• The LIFEPAK CR Plus and EXPRESS AEDs had already been discontinued.

Open orders and availability

For current orders of CHARGE-PAKs and QUIK-PAKs, we cannot currently guarantee delivery or delivery time .
If there are AEDs that require a CHARGE-PAK in the coming year, it is possible to order one in advance, but delivery is uncertain .

Our advice

To ensure the continuity of your AED coverage, we recommend switching to a fully supported replacement AED in a timely manner , with readily available parts. This prevents unexpected downtime and ensures your location remains well-prepared for future resuscitation situations.
