HeartStart AED Pads, 5-pack

The HeartStart Adult Defibrillator Pads, 5 Pack, are a set of specialized electrode pads designed for use with the Philips HeartStart Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). These electrode pads are an essential component of the AED and are used to deliver electrical shocks to the heart in the event of sudden cardiac arrest. Here is a description of the HeartStart Adult Defibrillator Pads:

1. Purpose:

• The primary purpose of these defibrillator pads is to facilitate the delivery of controlled electrical shocks to the heart to treat ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia, which are life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias.

2. Compatibility:

• These pads are specifically designed for use with Philips HeartStart AEDs, ensuring compatibility and efficient functionality with the AED model. It's crucial to use the right pads for a specific AED model.

3. Adult Size:

• The pads are intended for use on adult patients. They are designed to provide effective electrical conductivity for adults, and they may not be suitable for use on children or infants.

4. Pre-gelled:

• The electrode pads come pre-gelled, meaning they have a conductive gel layer already applied to the surface. This gel helps establish good electrical contact with the patient's skin, which is essential for the AED to analyze the heart rhythm accurately and deliver appropriate shocks.

5. Self-Adhesive:

• The pads are self-adhesive, which allows them to adhere securely to the patient's chest without the need for additional adhesives or tapes.
