Applying CPR-D-padz
Prepare the victim before attaching the electrodes.
WARNING! CPR-D-padz are intended for use on adult victims only; do not use on victims
under 8 years of age.
To prepare the victim:
1. Remove all clothing covering the victim’s chest.
2. Ensure the victim’s chest is dry.
3. If the victim has excessive chest hair, clip or shave the hair to help ensure proper adhesion of the
electrodes.
To apply the electrodes:
1. Tear open the electrode package and unfold the electrodes. Place the electrodes on the victim
according to the graphics on the package (see Figure 5).
2. Hold the CPR sensor and place the sensor between the nipples and on the middle of the victim’s
breastbone, using the sensor’s cross hairs to guide you.
3. Press the CPR sensor with your right hand and pull the number 2 tab to peel the protective backing
from the electrode. Press the electrode from the center out to make sure it adheres properly to the
victim’s skin.
4. Press the CPR sensor with your left hand and pull the number 3 tab to peel the protective backing
from the electrode. Press the electrode from the center out to make sure it adheres properly to the
victim’s skin.
NOTE If the victim is large or there is a need to place the electrode under a breast, you may need to tear away
the lower pad at the perforated line (see Figure 5) and extend the pad. Place the pad slightly to the victim’s
left and below the victim’s left breast.
NOTE If the victim has an implanted pacemaker or defibrillator in the upper right chest, angle the electrodes
slightly to avoid placing the electrodes over either device. Make certain that the CPR sensor maintains a
position over the lower half of the breastbone.
