Pull the tab at
the top of the pads
cartridge to
peel
off the film seal.
Inside are two pads
on a yellow plastic
liner. Lift the pads out of the cartridge. You
will notice a picture on each pad showing
where to place it on the patient.
NOTES: Before applying the pads to the
patient, remove any medicine patches from
the person’s chest, any headphones, and
other electrical devices with a wire or a cable.
It is okay to use the HeartStart on someone
who has an implanted device such as a
pacemaker or ICD, but do not place the pads
directly over the implant. You can tell where
an implant is located by a lump in the skin and
a scar.
It is safe to use the HeartStart on someone
wearing an oxygen mask.
