What's Included?

  • 1 set of Child SMART Electrode Pads

The HS1 Infant - Child SMART Pad Cartridge for the Philips HS1 AED range will help ensure that you're prepared for the event of a child suffering a cardiac arrest by lowering the Joule output of the device to a safer level for a child's heart.

Having a set of paediatric electrode pads available for your Philips HS1 AED will allow you to be prepared and act in the event of a child suffering a cardiac arrest, providing them with the best chance of survival.

The pads are protected with a clear, plastic casing. This helps ensure that they are effectively protected and are in an optimum condition prior to being used.

Key features

  • Protective casing ensures the pads are kept in the best possible condition before use
  • Designed for use on children aged 1 - 8 years old
  • 24 month shelf life
  • Sticky, conductive adhesive ensures that once the pads are placed, they will not move
  • Pre-connected by design, helping save vital time in an emergency

How to use

Paediatric electrode pads enable you to act in the event of a child suffering a cardiac arrest. They are an essential piece of equipment if the AED is located in a location frequented by children. These electrode pads lower the Joule output provided by the defibrillator to a safer level for that of a 1 - 8-year-old's heart.

After the electrode pads have been removed from their packaging, the first responder should refer to the diagrams on the pads to help with correct pad placement as children require the electrode pads to be placed differently.

Once placed, the pads will then monitor and evaluate the heart's rhythm. This information will then be relayed back to the defibrillator and the device will determine whether treatment is required.

What is an IP rating?

An IP (Ingress Protection) rating classifies the degrees of protection of an electrical item against water and dust. Beginning with IP and followed by two numbers, the first digit is indicative of the item’s resistance to dust and the second is of its resistance to water. Protection against dust is measured from */ 0 up to 6, whereas protection against water is measured from */ 0 up to 8. The protection against these elements increases as the number does, with * / 0 telling us that the item has NO protection against either dust or water.

Why is this important?

The IP rating of a defib will tell you (and us!) whether it is suitable for the environment where it’s most likely to be used; for example, if there is a good chance your defib may be used in an outdoor environment, you will need a unit with a higher IP rating to ensure it can be used regardless the weather or terrain. If you are looking for a defibrillator more suitable for an indoors environment, you can afford to choose one with a lower IP rating, based on the other features that may be more suitable.

When a particular product is “approved” by the FDA, this marks the pass in the premarket approval (or PMA) application of a particular product which has been submitted to the FDA.

To receive approval of a device through a PMA application, the applicant in question must provide reasonable assurance of the device’s safety and effectiveness which is then challenged by the FDA before being approved.

Whilst all AEDs can be used to increase chances of survival and even save a life in the event of a cardiac arrest, FDA approved devices provide that extra piece of mind that the specific unit being used has undergone vigorous and substantial testing to ensure that that particular piece of equipment operates just as it should and provides the most effective care possible.

Many manufacturers perform their own tests on products, but not all defibrillators will undergo the same premarket approval as FDA approved devices and there is no guarantee or stamp of certification if testing has taken place with non-FDA approved products.
