Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this replacement battery FDA-approved?
Yes. The AED Battery Exchange 5070-ABE is approved by the FDA via Premarket Approval (PMA P190013) as a Class III medical device accessory. This is the highest standard of regulatory review, guaranteeing that the 5070-ABE maintains the same safety and effectiveness standards as the OEM M5070A. This approval ensures compliance and protection against the liability risks associated with unauthorized, non-FDA-cleared batteries
Will this non-OEM battery void my Philips AED warranty or indemnification?
While Philips' standard indemnification policy often excludes coverage when non-Philips accessories are used , the AED Battery Exchange 5070-ABE includes its own comprehensive Full Indemnification and a matching 4-Year Warranty. This coverage ensures legal protection for your organization and guarantees performance parity, eliminating the financial and legal risks typically associated with third-party accessories.
What is the battery's lifespan, and how does Shelf Life differ from Standby Life?
The lifespan is measured in two ways:
- Estimated Shelf Life: The period the battery can remain unopened and stored (typically 5 years).
- Standby Life: The guaranteed operational period once the battery is installed in the AED (4 years). The battery must be installed by the "Install Before" date printed on the label to ensure it delivers the full 4 years of standby power.
Why is the 5070-ABE described as "re-celled," and is it reliable?
The term "re-celled" means the manufacturer reuses the outer casing for environmental sustainability while replacing the power source entirely with new lithium cells from the same manufacturers used by the OEM. This re-celled process is FDA-approved (PMA P190013) and guarantees that the product provides equivalent performance, life, and shock capacity to the original M5070A battery.
My AED is chirping after installing the new battery. Is the battery faulty?
Not necessarily. If the AED chirps with a flashing ‘i’ button, immediately press the ‘i’ button for the device to perform a voice diagnostic. A chirping alert that occurs shortly after battery installation is often caused by expired or improperly connected electrode pads, not low battery power. The AED's self-test primarily detects the status of the pads and internal circuitry, which may require replacement before the battery.
Does the new battery reset the AED's internal clock/expiration date?
Yes. Installing a new battery automatically triggers a self-test and begins the 4-year standby power cycle. Since the Philips M5070A battery often displays an "Install Before" date rather than a specific expiration date, the user should manually record the installation date and calculate the expected expiration date as four years from the date of installation.
