What does this mean to the average automatic external defibrillator consumer? Most experts believe that the 2010 update, like the 2005 update, will result in a software upgrade for the defibrillators on the market. This means that you will most likely need to plan on having the software on your AED updated late this year or early 2011.
Most manufacturers charge unreasonable rates to perform this updates. When the updates take effect, I'll be providing detailed instructions on how you can perform these updates yourself or, in some cases, we will be performing the updates for you at more reasonable rates.
Otherwise, if you are in the market to replace your AED's, I'd probably wait until after October. In fact many manufacturers will probably be releasing new models to coincide with the changes.
