Philips HeartStart OnSite Infant/Child SMART Pads Cartridge

SMART Pads Cartridges are “SMART” because they work with the device to sense whether they have been removed from the cartridge and placed on the patient’s skin. Pictures on the pads illustrate correct placement.

Defibrillation pads should be replaced after each use, or once every two years. Children under 8 years of age or weighing less than 55 pounds (25 kg), including infants, should be treated using HeartStart Infant/Child SMART Pads.These pads instruct the defibrillator to reduce the energy of its shock from 150 to 50 Joules (J), a more appropriate dosage.1,2 The Infant/Child Pads cartridge is marked with an indication of patient weight and with a teddy bear icon for easy identification.

* The Infant/Child pads cartridge is sold separately, and available only under the order of a physician, by prescription only in the United States.
