When to use

The SAM 500P is indicated for use on
victims of sudden cardiac arrest who are
exhibiting the following signs:
Unconscious
Not breathing
Without circulation
The SAM 500P has been designed to
work on unconscious, nonresponsive
patients. If the patient is responsive or
conscious, do not use the SAM 500P to
provide treatment.
The SAM 500P is suitable for use on
patients of over 25 kg (55 lbs) in weight or
equivalent to a child of approximately eight
years old or over.
For use on smaller children (from 1 to 8
years old), remove the adult Pad-Pak and
install a Pediatric-Pak.
If a Pediatric-Pak or an alternative suitable
defibrillator is not available, you may use
an adult Pad-Pak.
