What is an AED Package & Should You Buy One?
Table of Contents
Purchasing an AED is a big decision whether you’re buying a single AED machine for your home or business, or you’re purchasing multiple AEDs as part of a large public access defibrillation effort. Finding the AED that best fits your needs, is within budget, and has all the related AED accessories you need can be daunting. Enter the AED package.
What is an AED Package?
Simply put, an AED package is a product that contains not only the individual defibrillator you’ll need, but also important related accessories such as a cabinet, AED case, AED signage, first aid kit, extra AED battery, etc.
These AED product packages are designed to help buyers such as yourself get everything they need with one convenient purchase.

What Does an AED Package Contain?
The contents of an AED package, sometimes called an AED value package, vary based on their intended use, as well as the retailer / manufacturer that put the package together. At AED Superstore, our AED packages typically include at least the following items:
- 1 Set of Adult Electrode pads
- 1 AED Battery
- Carrying case
- RespondER® Premium AED/CPR Pack
- RespondER® Flexible AED Wall Sign
- AED Check™ Tag
- AED Window/Wall Decal – 4″ Diameter.
Other AED accessories that may be included in a package include:

- Pediatric electrode pads
- CPR Training
- ARCH Medical Direction and Program Management
Should I buy an AED package or a single AED?
In many situations, especially for businesses, churches, first responders, schools, etc., buying an AED package will make sense over a single AED. The package purchase ensures that everything required or needed by the organization or individual is included. Our packages also have discount pricing on certain AED accessories, further adding to the value of choosing a package. Our AED machine packages are designed to make purchasing, setting up, and keeping your AEDs maintained as easy and affordable as possible.
For individuals, buying a single AED device may be sufficient, especially if the AED machine is being purchased for home use. A single AED unit may be more cost effective when an AED cabinet, defibrillator maintenance items, etc. aren’t needed.

I recently purchased a CS-AED Powerheart G5 w/CPR Fully Automatic Package (English /Spanish), No. GSA-8OC-S W/Extras, for $1,920.00 and a CAB-Cabinet LifeStart Steel Surface Mount Square Edges JL Ind Tracking ID: 629231518657 for $330.00.
Can you send me the height/weight, width, depth dimensions for the cabinet and AED?
We want to mount it on a museum wall and want to make sure the wall can support it.
