CellAED Recall – The Dangers of Cheap AEDs and What To Do

Unfortunately in recent months, we’ve received contact from multiple people, businesses and schools around New Zealand (and even some in Australia), that had purchased the CellAED®, only to find out the company behind the CellAED® is now in voluntary administration, and has seen the product recalled from various markets around the world.

In some cases, this has led to people having paid for a product they never received.

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

We were approached to sell the CellAED® early its in release in the New Zealand market, and our decision not to stock or recommend the CellAED was based on significant concerns about the device’s clinical claims and limited features.

I Have a CellAED® – What Do I Do Now?

Unfortunately as of writing, there is no way to purchase a replacement CellAED®, and we have heard from some customers that had paid for replacement parts and that their orders are now going unfulfilled.

As we do not stock the CellAED® product range, we are unable to assist with customers who are enquiring about refunds for pending orders or order updates.

We strongly recommend replacing your CellAED® with a high-quality, clinically proven AED such as the ZOLL AED Plus we supply.

Don’t Take The Risk – Invest in a High Quality, Clinically Proven Superior AED – the ZOLL AED Plus

We recommend the ZOLL AED Plus Defibrillator as a replacement for the CellAED®. The ZOLL AED Plus Defibrillator is clinically a superior device, that is compliant with New Zealand guidelines, fully FDA Approved and has various lifesaving features missing on the CellAED®.

We recognise the unfortunate position the collapse of the CellAED® has put many people, schools, sports clubs and businesses in – and we have a special replacement offer. To find out more, send us an email to or contact us for a quote for the ZOLL AED Plus Defibrillator – just mention your situation and we’ll do our best to make things right for you.
