LIFEPAK CR Plus Defibrillator Infant/Child Pads – Essential for Pediatric Defibrillation

The LIFEPAK CR Plus Defibrillator Infant/Child Pads are specialized pediatric electrode pads designed for use with LIFEPAK AEDs. These pads reduce the energy shock to a safe level for infants and young children, ensuring effective treatment in a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) emergency.

If your LIFEPAK CR Plus AED is in a school, nursery, sports club, or public area, having pediatric AED pads is essential for child safety.

Who Are These Infant/Child Defibrillator Pads For?

• These pediatric AED pads are designed for:
  Children between 1–8 years old
• Patients weighing less than 25 kg (55 lbs)

For patients over 8 years old or above 25 kg, use standard adult defibrillator pads instead.

Key Features of LIFEPAK CR Plus Infant/Child Pads

• Energy Reduction for Pediatric Patients – Delivers a lower shock level, preventing excessive energy exposure to a child’s heart.

Compatible with Multiple LIFEPAK AEDs – Designed for use with:

• LIFEPAK CR Plus

1. What are LIFEPAK CR Plus Infant/Child Defibrillator Pads?

The LIFEPAK CR Plus Infant/Child Defibrillator Pads are pediatric electrode pads designed for use with LIFEPAK AEDs. These pads reduce the energy shock level, making defibrillation safe and effective for infants and young children experiencing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).

2. Who should use pediatric AED pads?

• These pediatric defibrillator pads are essential for treating:
  Children between 1–8 years old
• Patients weighing less than 25 kg (55 lbs)

For patients over 8 years old or heavier than 25 kg, standard LIFEPAK AED pads should be used instead.

3. Why are pediatric AED pads necessary?

• Prevents excessive shock energy – Standard AED pads deliver a higher energy shock, which can be dangerous for small children. Pediatric pads automatically reduce the shock level to a child-appropriate setting.
• Required in schools, nurseries, and childcare centers – Having child-specific AED pads ensures compliance with first aid regulations in environments where children are present.
• Enhances survival chances – Using the correct pediatric electrode pads increases the effectiveness of life-saving defibrillation.

4. Are these pads compatible with all LIFEPAK AEDs?

• No. The LIFEPAK CR Plus Infant/Child Defibrillator Pads are compatible with:
  LIFEPAK CR Plus AED
• LIFEPAK EXPRESS AED
• LIFEPAK 1000 AED
