Pediatric Reduced Energy Defibrillation Electrodes Instructions for Use
Instructions for Use
WARNING! AED not rescue ready.
If the rescuer performs the steps below in a different sequence than
outlined, the AED may give a "check electrodes" or "check pads" message.
Unlike Cardiac Science adult defibrillation electrodes, the construction of
our pediatric electrodes does not allow a Cardiac Science AED to check
that there is an adequate connection and that the electrodes are ready to
use prior to their being applied to the patient.
1. Remove clothing from the patient's chest and make sure the patient's
chest is clean and dry.
2. Tear open the pediatric pads package and remove the pads.

Service Manual for additional operating information.
