Features
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. The Heartsine Samaritan has a flashing green STATUS light
that indicates the 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 Heartsine
Samaritan system then guides the user through pad application to
shock delivery if required.
The Heartsine
Samaritan PAD 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 Heartsine Samaritan PAD system automatically
assesses the patient to determine if a shock is required. If not,
the Samaritan PAD 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.
The innovative
Heartsine Samaritan PAD has a CPR tone and flashing icon to
coach the rescuer in delivering chest compressions according to AHA
or ERC 2005 guidelines- 100 compressions per minute - for 2 minute
intervals.
