Key Features of Schiller FRED PA-1 Paediatric Pads
Reduced Energy Output for Child Safety
The pads automatically signal the defibrillator to deliver reduced joule (70 J)output appropriate for paediatric patients. This intelligent system ensures children receive exactly the right amount of electrical energy to restore normal heart rhythm without the excessive force designed for adult physiology.
Embedded RFID Technology
Advanced Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology allows the Schiller FRED PA-1 to automatically detect when the paediatric pads are connected and monitor their expiration status. This smart system helps maintain readiness by alerting you when replacement is needed, ensuring your equipment is always emergency-ready.
Clear Visual Placement Guidance
Correct pad placement is crucial for effective defibrillation. These electrodes feature intuitive visual guides printed directly on the pads, showing responders exactly where to position them on a child's torso.
Two-Year Shelf Life
With a reliable 2-year shelf life, these paediatric pads offer extended readiness between replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between adult and paediatric defibrillator pads?
Paediatric pads are specifically designed for children's smaller bodies and developing cardiovascular systems. They automatically reduce the defibrillator's energy output to safer levels appropriate for young patients. Using adult pads on children can deliver excessive electrical energy, potentially damaging cardiovascular tissue. The Schiller FRED PA-1 Paediatric Pads ensure children under 8 years or weighing less than 25kg receive appropriate, safe treatment during cardiac emergencies.
Are the paediatric pads pre-connected to the defibrillator?
AED units usually come preconnected with Adult pads, as they are the standard. However, you can preconnect them with paediatric pads or slide them in the back of the device for easy access. Either way, both pads have RFIS or infrared technology to assess the life of the pads.
Can these pads be used during paediatric CPR training?
No, these are genuine medical electrode pads designed for emergency use only. Using them for training would waste expensive consumables and potentially damage the adhesive gel. For training purposes, purchase dedicated CPR training pads or training defibrillator units that don't require consumable electrodes.
