Infant/Child SMART Pads Cartridge_1

Infant/Child SMART Pads Cartridge Children weighing less than 55 pounds (25 kg), including infants, should be treated using HeartStart Infant/Child SMART Pads (M5072A). These pads instruct the defibrillator to reduce the energy of its shock from 150 to 50 Joules (J), an appropriate dosage.1,2 The Infant/Child Pads cartridge is marked with an indication of the appropriate weight and with a teddy bear icon for easy identification. The pads are “SMART” because they work with the device to sense whether they have been removed from the cartridge and placed on the patients skin. Pictures on the pads illustrate correct placement. Defibrillation pads should be replaced after each use, or once every two years.
