Pediatric Reduced Energy Defibrillation Electrodes Instructions for Use
Indications for Use
Cardiac Science Pediatric Reduced Energy Defibrillation Electrodes are
intended for use with only the following Cardiac Science Automated External
Defibrillators (AEDs): Powerheart AED 9200 series, Powerheart AED G3
9300 series, and FirstSave AED 9300 series. These electrodes, when used with
the AED, provide reduced defibrillation energy and are intended for use only
on children or infants up to 8 years old, or up to 55 lbs (25 kg). If the child
appears older or larger, use Cardiac Science adult defibrillation electrodes. Do
not delay treatment to determine the child's exact age or weight.
The AED is intended for use by personnel who have been trained in its
operation. The user should be qualified by training in basic life support or
other physician-authorized emergency medical response. The AED is indicated
for emergency treatment of victims exhibiting symptoms of sudden cardiac
arrest who are unresponsive and not breathing. Post-resuscitation, if the victim
is breathing, the AED should be left attached to allow for acquisition and
detection of the ECG rhythm. If a shockable ventricular tachyarrhythmia
recurs, the AED will charge automatically and advise the operator to deliver
therapy.

Contraindications for Use

Do not use with Cardiac Science 9100 series AEDs, FirstSave 9200 AEDs, or
non-Cardiac Science AEDs.

Warnings and Cautions

WARNING! Improper function.
For use only with the following Cardiac Science AEDs: Powerheart AED
9200 series, Powerheart AED G3 9300 series, and FirstSave AED 9300
series. These pads will not function properly with any other AEDs or
defibrillators.
WARNING! Shock hazard.
During shock delivery, an AED applies high voltage to the patient. Do not
touch the patient, pads or any other equipment connected to the patient
when defibrillating.
WARNING! Improper connection.
DO NOT pre-connect Pediatric electrodes to an AED while in standby
mode.
Caution: Electrode degradation.
DO NOT open the package until ready to use the pads.
