Intended Purpose: To transfer energy for de brillation, cardioversion, non-invasive pacing therapy to the heart and provide ECG monitoring.
Indications for use: For use on adult patients with ZOLL® AED Pro®, AED Plus®, AED 3®, AED 3® BLS, R Series®, X Series®, X Series® Advanced and Propaq® MD by trained
personnel including Physicians, Nurses, Paramedics, Emergency Medical Technicians and Cardiovascular Laboratory Technicians. The Stat-padz electrodes are not indicated
for use on a patient less than 8 years of age or weighing less than 55lbs (25kg).
1. Do not open until ready to use.
2. Periodically inspect electrode packaging for integrity & expiration date.
3. Attach to ZOLL AED Plus, ZOLL AED Pro, or to ZOLL multifunction cable.
Instructions
1. Remove excess chest hair. Clip if necessary to maximize gel to skin contact. Clipping is recommended since shaving
can leave tiny microabrasions that can lead to patient discomfort during pacing.
2. Ensure skin is clean and dry under electrode. Remove any debris, ointments, skin preps, etc. with water
(and mild soap if needed). Wipe o moisture/diaphoresis with dry cloth.
Instructions

1. Apply one edge of the pad securely to the patient.
2. "Roll" the electrode smoothly from that edge to the other. Be careful not to trap any pockets of

Anterior-Posterior
Recommended for defibrillation, non-invasive pacing, ventricular cardioversion,
and ECG monitoring. Optimal for non-invasive pacing because it increases patient
tolerance and decreases capture thresholds.
Posterior:
Grasp the Posterior electrode at the red tab and peel
away from the plastic liner. Place to the left of the spine
just below the scapula at the heart level.
Always apply Posterior electrode first. If Anterior
electrode is already in place when patient is being
maneuvered for placement of the Posterior, the
Anterior may become partially lifted. This could
lead to arcing and skin burns.
Anterior Apical:
Grasp the Anterior Apical electrode at
the red tab and peel away from the
plastic liner. Apply over cardiac apex
with the nipple under adhesive area on
a male patient. Position under breast
on a female patient.
Avoid any contact between nipple
and gel treatment area. Skin of
the nipple area is more susceptible
to burning.

indication of burning due to other
factors.

Preconnecting the Electrodes (Optional)
POSTERIOR
ANTERIOR APICAL
After patient movement due to muscle contraction or patient repositioning, press pads to skin
to ensure good coupling between pads and skin.
Do not conduct chest compressions through the pads. Doing so may cause damage to the
pads that could lead to the possibility of arcing and skin burns.
Transcutaneous pacing may cause burns to the skin. Periodically check the electrode site to
ensure that the electrodes are well adhered to the skin.
During transcutaneous pacing, do not exceed the maximum pacing settings of 1 hour of
pacing (140 mA/180 ppm) or 8 hours of pacing (100 mA/100 ppm). Doing so can
increase the possibility of skin burns.
Replace electrodes after 24 hours of skin contact or 8 hours of pacing to maximize patient
benefit.
Do not use if gel is dry. Dried out gel can lead to skin burning. Do not open until ready to
use. Do not use electrodes past the expiration date printed on the pouch label.
To avoid electrical shock, do not touch the pads, patient, or bed when defibrillating.
Do not discharge standard paddles on or through electrodes or place separate ECG leads
under pads. Doing so could lead to arcing and/or skin burning.
Always apply electrodes to flat areas of skin. If possible, avoid folds of skin such as those
underneath the breast or those visible on obese individuals.

SKIN PREPARATION
ELECTRODE APPLICATION
ELECTRODE PLACEMENT
Recommended for defibrillation and ECG monitoring only.
Not optimal for non-invasive pacing. Non-invasive pacing with this
configuration can lead to decreased patient tolerance and increased
capture thresholds.
Anterior Sternal:
Grasp the Anterior Sternal electrode at the red tab and
peel away from the plastic liner. Apply on the patient's
upper right torso.
Avoid any contact between nipple
and gel treatment area. Skin of the
nipple area is more susceptible to
burning.
Anterior Lateral:
Grasp the Anterior Lateral electrode at the red tab
and peel away from the plastic liner. Apply so that
the top of the gel treatment area lines up with the
bottom of the pectoral muscle on a male patient.
Position electrode under the breast on a female
patient.
Placement of Anterior Lateral electrode varies
slightly in anterior-anterior configuration. The
more lateral placement increases the
likelihood that more of the heart musculature
will be within the current pathway.

NOT MADE WITH
NATURAL RUBBER LATEX.
ZOLL AED Plus or
ZOLL AED Pro
Excessive hair can inhibit good
coupling (contact), which can
lead to the possibility of arcing
and skin burns.
Poor adherence and/or air
under the electrodes can lead
to the possibility of arcing and
skin burns.
Anterior-Anterior
12. Do not fold the electrodes or packaging. Any fold in or other damage to the
conductive element could lead to the possibility of arcing and/or skin burns.
13. Use only with ZOLL Pacemaker/Defibrillator products.
14. Device disposal should follow hospital protocol.
15. Do not use electrodes in the presence of oxygen-rich environment or other
flammable agents. Doing so could cause explosion.
16. If any serious incident has occurred in relation to the device, the incident should
be reported to the manufacturer and the competent authority of the Member State
in which the user and/or patient is established.
17. If repositioning of the electrodes is needed, consider replacement with a new
electrode.
