Infant/Pediatric Electrode Pads

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.

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.
