6 DDU-100 AED Accessories
This chapter describes the components and accessories that can be used with the Defibtech
DDU-100 AED. Information on obtaining replacement components and accessories is included
in the “Contacts” section.
6.1 Defibrillation/Monitoring Pads
The DDU-100 AED is used with Defibtech self-adhesive
defibrillation/monitoring pads for adults or with attenuated
pediatric pads for infants and children. These pads (also known
as “electrodes”) serve two functions:
• Allowtheunittoreadthepatient’selectrocardiograph
(ECG) rhythm.
• Deliverdebrillationenergytothepatientwhenneeded.
The Defibtech self-adhesive defibrillation/monitoring pad
assembly comes in a “leads-out” sealed package that allows
the device to be stored with pads connected. When the DDU-
100 AED is used, the operator needs only to remove the pad
packaging, tear open the package and turn the device on to
administer care. The AED has a storage area in the back of the
unit that allows for storage of a single sealed pad package.
6.2 Battery Packs
The Defibtech AED uses a lithium battery pack. The battery pack
contains the main lithium battery cells, an LED status indicator, and
a 9V lithium battery. Different capacity battery packs are available.

the available packs. The battery pack is inserted into the battery
pack opening on the side of the AED and latches into place.
The main battery is based on a lithium battery technology and
provides the AED with a long shelf and standby life. Battery
pack status indication is provided by a blinking green status LED.
Status indicator power is supplied by a user replaceable 9V lithium
battery.
