Using Electrodes

The Fully Automatic AED Plus supports both adult and pediatric electrode pads. The device

automatically adjusts defibrillation energy to adult or pediatric levels depending on the type of

electrodes connected to it. Make sure that the electrode pads used are appropriate for the victim.

WARNING! DO NOT use adult electrode pads or CPR-D-padz on victims under 8 years

of age.

The Fully Automatic AED Plus uses electrode packs that are connected to the unit by a cable. The

package contains electrodes that you attach to the victim.

• Make sure to install a new package of electrodes and connect the electrode cable to the unit after

each use, to prepare for future emergencies.

• Check the electrode expiration date regularly to ensure that electrodes are fresh and ready to use

in an emergency situation.

• Replace electrodes, if expired

• After the Fully Automatic AED Plus is powered on and completes its self-test, the unit will issue

an “Adult Pads” voice prompt or a “Pediatric Pads” voice prompt to indicate the type of electrodes

connected to the unit. Verify that the connected electrode pads are appropriate for the victim being

treated. Connect alternate electrode pads if necessary.

If the electrodes are not attached properly, the unit issues the CHECK ELECTRODE PADS or the

ATTACH ELECTRODE PADS voice prompt during operation. If the electrode cable is not properly

attached to the unit, the unit issues the PLUG IN CABLE prompt. Make certain to connect the electrode

cable to the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit and attach the electrodes to the victim properly.

WARNING! Electrodes must be pre-attached to the device. Keep the electrode cable

connected to the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit at all times.

The electrode package may include:

• Scissors to cut clothing or chest hair.

• Razor to remove excessive hair at the electrode application site, if necessary.

• Small towel to make sure that the victim’s skin is dry.

• Gloves.

• Barrier Mask.

NOTE Electrodes contain no hazardous materials and may be disposed of in general trash unless contaminated

with pathogens. If contaminated, appropriate precautions should be used in their disposal.

WARNING! DO NOT reuse electrodes.
