LIFEPAK QUIK-COMBO Electrode Pads - Infant/Child

Medtronic Infant/Child Reduced Energy Defibrillation Electrode Pads - use only with LIFEPAK 500 AEDs with a pink connector (standard on AEDs built after 8/9/02) or any LIFEPAK CR Plus, LIFEPAK EXPRESS, or LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator. Intended for use on children up to 8 years of age or 25kg (55lb). The Infant/Child Reduced Energy Electrode Pads are smaller than adult defibrillation electrode pads. The electrode pads reduce the energy dose that is delivered to the patient by a factor of four. If the AED is set up to deliver a dosage of 200, 300, 360J using adult defibrillation electrode pads, the dose will be approximately 50, 75, 86J with the Infant/Child Reduced Energy Electrode Pads.

To extend a community heart-safe program to children eight and under, order the Infant/Child Reduced Energy Defibrillation Electrode Pads. While few patients will ever be candidates for this therapy, the Infant/Child Reduced Energy Electrode Pads offer the opportunity to save many years of someone's life.

Biphasic LIFEPAK 500 AEDs that do not have pink connector plugs (inner lining on the AED's electrode receptacle) can be upgraded to accept the low-energy electrodes.
