Pediatric Defibrillation
Follow the instructions as outlined above for your unit with the following exceptions:
• OneStep Pediatric electrodes should be used on children up to 8 years of age. For children over
8 years of age, use adult electrodes.
• When the OneStep Pediatric electrode is connected, the R Series will automatically set
the energy delivered to 50, 70, and 85 J increments. These levels are appropriate for children
from 25 kg or greater.
• When using OneStep Pediatric electrodes on children under 25 kg, an energy of 2 J per kg
is recommended and will need to be set manually using the ENERGY SELECT
▲
(UP) and
▼
(DOWN) arrow keys.
• For all other electrodes, select the desired energy manually based upon 2 J per kg.
• Do not use AED or Advisory mode in children under 8 years of age unless OneStep Pediatric
electrodes are attached or energy has been manually selected in advisory mode.
