Defibrillators Australia wishes to inform customers and the wider community that Rapid Response Revival, the manufacturer of the CellAED® portable defibrillator, has entered voluntary administration as of 2025.

This unexpected development has raised uncertainty around the availability of new CellAED units, ongoing product support, and replacement accessories such as pads and batteries — all essential for maintaining AED readiness and compliance.

Defibrillators Australia’s Position

We would like to assure our customers that Defibrillators Australia has never sold or distributed the CellAED® product.

Our decision not to stock or recommend the CellAED was made early and with careful consideration. We had concerns about its durability in Australian conditions, limited support availability, and uncertainty regarding long-term servicing and parts.

Instead, our mission has always been to provide proven, reliable defibrillator brands that are backed by strong manufacturer warranties and Australian-based service support.

Our trusted partners include:

Stryker (LIFEPAK CR2, CR2 Wi-Fi, and Cellular models)
ZOLL (AED Plus and AED 3)
Philips (HeartStart HS1)

These globally recognised brands are fully supported in Australia, ensuring you have confidence in your defibrillator’s performance when every second counts.

Concerned About Your CellAED? We Can Help.

If you currently own a CellAED or manage AEDs across multiple sites, you may be wondering what to do next.
Without manufacturer support, it may become increasingly difficult to obtain replacement parts, verify compliance, or guarantee performance reliability.

To assist the community, Defibrillators Australia has introduced a special Trade-In Program for CellAED owners.

Defibrillator Australia Trade-In Offer Includes:

A $300 credit towards a new, fully supported AED as below
Choice of leading models, including:

LIFEPAK CR2 Essential, Cellular or Wi-Fi
ZOLL AED Plus or ZOLL AED 3
- Full manufacturer warranty and Australian service support
- Ongoing access to replacement pads, batteries, and accessories

This program allows individuals, businesses, and community groups to upgrade confidently to a compliant, future-proof AED — ensuring your life-saving equipment is always rescue-ready.

Why Reliability and Support Matter

Having a defibrillator is only part of the safety equation. Ensuring it’s operational, compliant, and supported is critical.

When an AED manufacturer ceases operation, users risk:

No access to replacement parts or batteries
Lapsed warranty coverage
No official servicing or calibration options
Uncertainty around device reliability in an emergency

By partnering with established brands like Stryker, ZOLL, and Philips, Defibrillators Australia ensures every AED we sell is:

Covered by long-term manufacturer warranties
Supported by Australian distributors and service networks
Compatible with readily available pads, batteries, and signage
Backed by our own customer support and compliance expertise

Our Ongoing Commitment to Safety and Transparency

At Defibrillators Australia, we remain dedicated to helping individuals, organisations, and communities access dependable, easy-to-use AEDs.

We believe that clarity and trust are vital in the AED industry — and we will continue to communicate openly about product developments, manufacturer changes, and best practices to keep Australians safe.
