RESCUE SAM AED Accessories

This chapter describes the components and accessories that can be used with the Progetti Srl RESCUE
SAM. Information on obtaining replacement components and accessories is included in the "Contacts"
section.
7.1

Defibrillation/Monitoring Pads

The RESCUE SAM is used with Progetti Srl self-adhesive defibrillation/monitoring pads for adults or with
attenuated pediatric pads for infants and children. These pads (also known as "electrodes") serve two
functions:
• Allow the unit to read the patient's electrocardiograph (ECG) rhythm.
• Deliver defibrillation energy to the patient when needed.
The Progetti Srl self-adhesive defibrillation/monitoring pad assembly comes in a "leads-out" sealed
package that allows the device to be stored with pads connected. When the RESCUE SAM is used, the
operator needs only to remove the pad packaging, tear open the package and turn the device on to
administer care.
7.2

Battery Packs

The Progetti Srl AED uses a lithium battery pack. The battery pack is inserted into the battery pack
opening on the side of the AED and latches into place.
The battery is based on a lithium battery technology and provides the AED with a long shelf and
standby life.
7.2.1 Battery Status Indicator
The Status Indicator is located on the RESCUE SAM front panel and is used to indicate battery pack
status in stand-by mode. A periodically blinking green LED indicates that the battery pack status is OK
and the battery pack is ready for use. A blinking red LED indicates a battery pack problem.
