Pads Cartridge:

DO NOT DELAY TREATMENT.

Remove all clothing from the torso, to bare both the chest and the back.

Apply the HeartStart using the adult pads cartridge, but place one pad in the center of the chest between the nipples, and the other in the center of the back (anterior-posterior).

If the patient is over 55 pounds or 8 years old, or if you are not sure of the exact weight or age:

DO NOT DELAY TREATMENT.

Remove all clothing from the chest.

Apply the HeartStart using the adult pads cartridge, and place the pads as illustrated on the pads (anterior-anterior). Make sure the pads do not overlap or touch each other.

When emergency medical services arrive

When Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel arrive to care for the patient, they may decide to apply another defibrillator to allow monitoring of the patient. The SMART Pads should be removed from the patient prior to using another defibrillator. EMS personnel may want a summary of the last-use data* stored in the HeartStart. To hear the summary data, hold down the i-button until the HeartStart beeps.

NOTE: After the EMS team removes the SMART Pads from the patient, remove the used pads cartridge, and insert a new pads cartridge before returning the HeartStart to service, to be sure it is ready for use.

* See Chapter 4, “After using the HeartStart” for details about data storage.
