Philips HeartStart Pediatric Pads M5072A

The Philips HeartStart pediatric pads (M5072A) work with the HeartStart OnSite AED. They are meant for infants and kids under eight years old or under fifty-five pounds. They have a two-year shelf life and show clear graphics for kids. The teddy bear icon makes them easy to spot when time is critical.

Why Use the Philips M5072A Pads?

The Philips OnSite defibrillator automatically changes its shock energy to fit the patient’s needs. When pediatric pads are connected, the device recognizes them right away. It then lowers the energy level for safer treatment of infants and children. This means no manual adjustments are needed.

In an emergency, you can use standard HeartStart OnSite AED pads if pediatric pads aren't available right away. Child-specific pads offer safer and better care. It’s smart to have a pediatric set on hand whenever you can.

How to Use Philips M5072A Pads

To use the pads, pull the handle to open the case. Then, follow the placement images on each SMART pad. Expose the child’s chest and back. Place the pads directly on bare skin. Put one pad on the chest and the other on the back. Make sure they are separated and do not touch.

Once the AED is on and the pads are placed, it checks the child’s heart rhythm. Then, it gives clear voice instructions. If a shock is required, step back and press the orange shock button only when prompted by the unit.
