Philips Heartstart HS1 Adult SMART Cartridge Pads

One key feature of the Philips HS1 Adult Smart Pads is that the pads recognise what stage of treatment the responder is at. They can sense when the pads have been removed and placed on the casualty’s chest. From that point, they begin to monitor the patient's heart rhythm. Another key feature includes the clear instructions on the pad packaging, which guide responders on how to place the pads. The pads are lightweight and easily transported, weighing 0.30 kg. The pads can operate at various temperatures as long as they remain between 0 °C to +50 °C

The Philips HS1 Adult Smart Pads are designed to be used on adults only. The Philips HS1 Adult Smart Pads should not be used on children under eight or that weigh less than 25 kg. When operating on a child, responders must use different paediatric pads specifically for children. Adults require a greater electric shock from the defibrillator, and the Philips HS1 Adult Smart Pads can accommodate that voltage. 

If you’re looking for pads to use on children, paediatric pads are also available. 

The Philips HS1 Adult Smart Pads can be used with a semi or fully-automatic defibrillator. The two types of devices deliver the same treatment to a casualty of sudden cardiac arrest; however, they require different levels of user input. Regardless of whether you have a semi or fully-automatic defibrillator, the Philips HS1 Adult Smart Pads can be used with either. 

When responding to someone in sudden cardiac arrest, a defibrillator needs two electrode pads to administer the treatment correctly. It is recommended that defibrillator owners always have at least one pair of pads stored separately so that a replacement is always available. 

Fast action can be the difference between life and death when responding to someone in sudden cardiac arrest. With spare pads available, you can rest assured that your device is prepared to deliver potentially life-saving treatment. No matter the reason, whether your pads have expired, have been used to save a life, or have become damaged, a spare pair of Philips HS1 Adult Smart Pads is highly recommended.
