These pads are specifically designed for use on children under 8 years old. When connected to the AED, the device recognizes the pediatric pads and adjusts the energy level accordingly to minimize the risk of injury or damage to a child's developing body and organs.
IMPORTANT: Treatment should never be delayed to determine the exact weight or age of a child. While using pediatric pads is ideal, if time does not permit age determination or pad switching, adult pads should be used without delay. When applying defibrillation pads to a child, one pad should be placed on the chest and the other on the back (refer to the illustration on the pediatric pad package for guidance).
Due to their adhesive backing, defibrillation pads are for one-time use only and must be replaced immediately after use or before the expiration date listed on the package.
