The HeartSine® Samaritan® PAD Public Access Defibrillator (or Automatic
External Defibrillator) is an easy-to-use medical device especially designed
for public access use, to administer lifesaving treatment for Sudden Cardiac
Arrest. No complex displays or controls. A flashing green STATUS light indicates
system is operational.
The HeartSine® Samaritan® PAD prompts you visually and audibly with clear,
calm instructions – starting with “Adult Patient” if
equipped for adult Pad-Pak™, and “Child Patient” if equipped with pediatric-pak™.
Other prompts instruct users throughout the rescue process, while reminding
users to “call for medical assistance.” The system then guides the user
through pad application to shock delivery if required.
Electrode pads are contained in an innovative Pad-Pak™ or Pediatric-Pak™
which are accessible by pulling the green tab. Pads are accessible with the unit in the storage case (supplied with each
unit). The Adult (Gray) Pad-Pak™ is for patients >8 years & 55 lbs. The
Pediatric-Pak™ (Pink) is for patients 1-8 years & <55 lbs. Either cartridge
can be used with the new HeartSine® Samaritan® PAD (Model 300P). Note:
Pediatric-Pak™ cannot be used on earlier models.
When electrode pads are applied, the system automatically assesses the
patient to determine if a shock is required. If not, the unit will prompt the
rescuer to begin CPR Verbal and visual prompts guide the rescuer when to touch and when not to
touch the patient. If it is determined that a shock is required, the Shock
Button illuminates. A CPR tone and flashing icon coach the rescuer in delivering chest
compressions according to ERC 2005 guidelines- 100 compressions per minute –
for 2 minute intervals.
