HeartSine Defibrillator Paediatric Pad-Pak - Pads and Battery

The paediatric Pad-Pak for HeartSine samaritan defibrillators combines the electrode pads and the battery into a single cartridge. That is the design idea: one item to order, one expiry date to track, and one part to change - instead of pads and a battery running on separate clocks and separate reminders.

Features

• Combined electrode pads and battery in one single-use cartridge
• One expiry date to monitor rather than two
• Paediatric configuration for use on children
• Simple single-part replacement after use or expiry
• Designed for compatible HeartSine samaritan defibrillators

Specifications

• Brand: HeartSine

What a paediatric Pad-Pak changes on a HeartSine defibrillator

Fitting a paediatric Pad-Pak tells a compatible HeartSine defibrillator to deliver its lower paediatric energy setting - a child is not simply a smaller adult in defibrillation terms, and the cartridge is what makes the device switch protocol. Australian resuscitation guidance generally places paediatric pads in the range of roughly one to eight years or under about 25kg, but check the current HeartSine instructions for use and the resuscitation guidance that applies to you, since these boundaries are set by protocol rather than by the product. If a paediatric cartridge is not available in an emergency, guidance is not to withhold defibrillation from a child - follow your training. One thing the combined cartridge does not change: the AED still needs its routine readiness checks, the status indicator still needs watching, and the expiry still needs to be in someone's calendar.

Common uses

Workplaces, schools, childcare, sports clubs, community facilities and anywhere a HeartSine AED is installed where children are present. Mark the unit clearly with an AED sign, or browse more resuscitation equipment at MediBC.
