Placing the Philips Adult SMART Pads on the Patient
The Philips Adult SMART Pads are very easy to use when used in conjunction with your Onsite defibrillator. The Onsite Defibrillator provides audible and visual instructions to the caregiver and on the front of the Philips SMART Pads Cartridge there is an illustration demonstrating proper placement of the pads on the patient. The pads are not specific to left, right, top or bottom. Always refer to manual provided to you by the manufacturer or take a certification class from an authorized trainer. For your convenience we have provided the following steps to help you through the process.
- Stay calm and request someone call 911 emergency services. More than any other step this is probably the most important. If you’re not calm and instead erratic you won’t be thinking normally and could make mistakes that lead.
- Pull the green handle of the SMART Pads Cartridge. When pulled this will activate the Onsite.
- Remove the clothes from the patient’s chest.
- Peel off the protective film seal from the pads and place the first pad on the bare skin of the patient.
- The Onsite will automatically detect heart rhythms that the pads are attached to the patient and begin analyzing the patient and will instruct you to provide a shock if needed.
7. If a shock is required the caution light turns a solid orange and the Shock button starts flashing. The defibrillators will provide an audible warning telling the caregiver and those around not touch the patient while a shock is sent from the device.
