Defibrillation therapy is tailored depending on
whether a Pad-Pak or Pediatric-Pak is inserted:
• Pad-Pak (gray color) for use on patients weighing
over 55 lb (25 kg), or equivalent to a child of
approximately 8 years of age or older
• The optional Pediatric-Pak (pink color) for use
on smaller children (from 1 to 8 years old and
weighing under 55 lb (25 kg))
Pad-Pak also is available in a TSO/ETSO/EASA-
