Now supplied to AHA/ERC 2005 guidelines
The 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 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 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 AHA or ERC 2005 guidelines- 100 compressions per minute - for 2 minute intervals.

What sets the HeartSine samritan® PAD defibrillator apart from other companies' products?The SAMARITAN® PAD Public Access Defibrillator is different from any other public access defibrillator on the market. Designed specifically for public access use, It offers: ease-of-use, reliability & durability - with a 7 year unit warranty, IP56 certification - all at an inexpensive price.
We have created a single cartridge called a Pad-Pak™, combining the battery and electrode pads into one component - giving the consumer only one expiration date to monitor. The cartridge has a shelf-life of 3.5 years from date of manufacture, and offers the consumer significant savings over other defibrillators that require separate battery and pad units. Best of all, once the device is used, a replacement Pad-Pak is quickly installed and ALL your consumables are refreshed and the system restored at once.
A pediatric version of this cartridge is also available for the samaritan PAD, called the Pediatric-Pak™, for patients 1-8 years old and less than 55 lbs (25 kg).
The SAMARITAN® PAD is lighter (only 2.4 lbs.) and smaller than other defibrillators on the market, making use and storage easier.
The SAMARITAN® PAD is built on many years of research and development and patented technology. The SAMARITAN® PAD uses HeartSine's SCOPE™ Biphasic technology (a low-energy waveform that automatically adjusts for the patient impedance differences) to deliver optimal defibrillation.
It has an auto-self test, requires less maintenance and makes this device inexpensive to own and easy to operate.
From HeartSine Technologies - a leader in defibrillator technology innovation since 1967.
Who can use the SAMARITAN® Public Access Defibrillator?Sudden Cardiac Arrest must be treated quickly, in many cases before professional responders can arrive.
With a simple 4-hour course from the American Heart Association, anyone can become certified to use an AED defibrillator. Units can now be found in the home, office, or recreational or public facilities. Many public areas are also utilizing AED technology to potentially save lives in schools, shopping malls, airports, offices, gyms and training facilities, clinics, and other public areas.
HeartSine® recommends that all users of this equipment attend CPR and AED courses by certified training organizations. Some countries, like the United States, also require a prescription in order to obtain these devices. Consult your local HeartSine distributor for information on compliance with all local regulations. For more information on obtaining AHA certification, contact the American Heart Association office nearest you or visit their website at www.aha.org , or you can visit the ERC website at www.erc.org or contact your local government.
