ZOLL® Pedi-padz® II electrodes are designed for use on children up to eight years of age or weighing less than 55 lbs./25 kg. Anatomical diagrams on the package facilitate proper pad placement. When Pedi-Padz II are used with compatible ZOLL defibrillators, the device provides voice and text prompts to tell rescuers that Pedi-padz II are connected, ensuring that the proper defibrillator electrodes are being used.
With Pedi-Padz II, separate and specific algorithms designed for children are used to analyse the victim's heart rhythm, and the ZOLL defibrillator automatically reduces energy to provide paediatric-specific therapy.
Pedi-padz II electrodes are compatible with all ZOLL AEDs and with most ZOLL professional defibrillators, allowing continuity of care.
