Defibrillation Pads - Cardiac Science Heartsmart G5 AED User Manual

About the AED

Defibrillation pads

The AED comes with defibrillation pads installed. Pads are stored
in a ready-to-use, sealed package. The preinstalled pads are for use
with adults and children 8 years and older or over 55lbs. If the child
appears younger or lighter do not delay treatment to determine the
child's exact age or weight, use the preinstalled pads. Pads are self-ad-
hesive with an attached cable and connector for power and ECG
transmission. Pads are disposable; discard after use in a rescue.
The pads have a limited shelf life and should not be used beyond the
expiration date. Always keep a fresh, unopened pair of pads plugged
into the AED.
The AED can identify the pad type and expiration date. The AED is
compatible with these types of pads:
◆ XELAED001 defibrillation pads
◆ XELAED002 defibrillation pads with CPR feedback device*
◆ XELAED003 pediatric defibrillation pads
When the patient is 8 years of age or younger or weighs 25 kg
(55 lbs) or less, use the AED with pediatric defibrillation pads,
if available. See the instructions for use accompanying pediatric
pads to replace preinstalled pads with pediatric pads. DO NOT
delay therapy to determine the patient's exact age or weight.
Contact Cardiac Science Customer Care to order replacement pads.
Important: Pediatric pads are not to be pre-connected to the AED.
Follow the instructions for use provided with pediatric pads.

CPR feedback device
The CPR feedback device is about the size
of the palm of a hand. Its non-slip surface
and shape transfers the rescuer's com-
pressions to the patient's chest. The CPR
feedback device (included with optional
preinstalled pads with CPR feedback de-
vice) measures the depth and rate of chest
compressions. The AED uses this information to help guide proper
compression rate and compression depth during CPR.
Note: Use of the CPR feedback device is optional.
If the CPR Feedback Device slips during CPR performance, continue
chest compressions as trained, without interruption.
If you do not use the CPR feedback device, place it on a surface next
to the patient. DO NOT attempt to detach the device from its cable.
Contact Cardiac Science Customer Care to order the preinstalled pads
with CPR feedback device.
*DO NOT use the CPR feedback device on children under 8 years old
or under 55 lbs.
