Description
This package contains one pair of pediatric defibrillation electrodes for the LIFELINE AED. The AED electrodes can be stored in the AED.
The pediatric AED electrodes are for single use and have a shelf life of 2 years.
Why pediatric AED electrodes?
Children can also be victims of acute cardiac arrest. A child’s body weighing 25 kg or less (approximately 8 years old and younger) can withstand less force than an adult body. Therefore, the Defibtech AED pediatric electrodes contain a resistance that reduces the shock from 150 Joules to 50 Joules. Additionally, the surface area of the pediatric AED electrodes is smaller, allowing for better placement on a child’s body. Defibtech recommends keeping pediatric AED electrodes available in an AED located in areas frequented by children, such as schools, swimming pools, sports complexes, etc.
