Replacement defibrillator pads

Why are replacement defibrillator pads important?

When every second counts, having a defibrillator that’s ready for action can make all the difference in a cardiac emergency. However, one often overlooked aspect of ensuring a defibrillator’s effectiveness is maintaining the pads. Over time, defibrillator pads can degrade due to wear and tear, or if they’ve been used during a previous emergency.

Defibrillator pads, like any piece of emergency equipment, must be checked regularly to ensure they’re in optimal condition. The adhesive on the pads can weaken or become damaged as they age, which may prevent the pads from sticking to the skin effectively. This can hinder the defibrillator’s ability to transmit the electrical impulses required to revive someone in need.

When a defibrillator is called into action, it’s vital that the pads function correctly. Faulty or worn-out pads could lead to delayed or ineffective treatment, and this could make all the difference in a life-or-death situation.

How to ensure your defibrillator pads are ready for use

At Turtle Medical, we recommend performing routine checks on your defibrillator pads to ensure they are in good condition. If your defibrillator pads have expired or have been used, they should be replaced immediately. Even if they haven’t been used, defibrillator pads should be replaced at regular intervals as per the manufacturer’s guidelines. Doing this ensures that your defibrillator is ready for use at a moment’s notice, ensuring the highest level of preparedness when an emergency strikes.

It’s also a wise idea to keep spare defibrillator pads in your facility or organisation. Having replacements on hand means you’ll always be ready to respond if a cardiac emergency arises.
