Preconnecting the Defibrillation Electrodes Cable
WARNING! To prepare for an emergency, keep the defibrillation electrodes cable connected to the
unit at all times.
WARNING! Do not reuse defibrillation electrodes.
The AED Pro unit supports both adult and pediatric electrode pads. The device adjusts
defibrillation energy to adult or pediatric levels depending on the type of electrodes connected
to it. Always use electrode pads that are appropriate for the patient.
WARNING! Do not use adult defibrillation electrode pads or CPR-D•padz on patients under 8 years
of age.
The electrode packaging allows you to connect the cable to the unit while the pads remain in a
sealed envelope.
• To prepare for future emergencies, after each use connect a new package of electrodes by
plugging the electrode cable into patient cable connector.
• To ensure that the electrodes are fresh and ready to use in an emergency, regularly check the
electrode expiration date on the preconnected electrode pack.
• Replace expired electrodes.
• After completing its power-on self-test, the unit issues a voice and text message to indicate
the type of electrodes that are connected (ADULT PADS or PEDIATRIC PADS). Verify that
the connected electrodes are appropriate for the patient. If necessary, replace the connected
electrodes with appropriate ones.
If the electrode cable is not properly connected to the unit, the unit issues the voice and text
prompt PLUG IN CABLE.
If the electrodes are not properly attached to the patient, the unit issues the voice and text
prompt CHECK DEFIB PADS or ATTACH DEFIB PADS TO PATIENT’S BARE CHEST.
