Intellisense Paediatric Defibrillation pads are recommended for patients 8 years of age or younger, or weighing less than 55 pounds (25kg). They are also non-polarised, so they can be placed in either position on the chest or may be placed on the chest and back. Using embedded circuitry in the pad connector, the Powerheart G5 quickly and automatically detects the paediatric pad, and automatically adjusts to paediatric energy protocols and CPR requirements.
