Applying Defibrillation Electrode Pads
To deliver defibrillation therapy to a patient, you must use AED Pro-compatible defibrillation
electrode pads:
• ZOLL CPR-D•padz (adult patients; includes CPR sensor)
• CPR stat•padz (adult patients; includes CPR sensor)
• ZOLL stat•padz® II (adult patients)
• ZOLL pedi•padz® II (pediatric patients)
Defibrillation electrode pads connect to the AED Pro unit through the patient cable connector.
Preconnect a set of electrode pads so that they are ready for use in an emergency.
WARNING! Do not open the sealed electrodes until immediately prior to use.
You can also use defibrillation electrode pads for ECG monitoring.
Before applying defibrillation electrode pads to the patient, be sure to
• Remove all clothing covering the patient’s chest.
• Clip or shave any excessive hair to ensure proper adhesion of the pads.
• Use alcohol to wash away any oil or dirt at the electrode site.
• Dry any moisture at the electrode site.
WARNING! Poor adherence or air pockets under the defibrillation electrode pads can lead to arcing,
skin burns, or reduced energy delivery.
For proper placement of electrodes for defibrillation, refer to the graphics on the electrode
packaging.
Check the expiration date on the defibrillation electrode packaging. Do not use expired pads.
Note: ZOLL electrodes contain no hazardous materials and may be disposed of in general
trash unless contaminated with pathogens. Use appropriate precautions when
disposing of contaminated electrodes.
This symbol on the electrode label is accompanied by the expiration date.
