5.2 Defibrillation pads
SMARTY Saver is made to use two different types of universal defibrillation pads, to be used on adult and paediatric
patients;
• SMT-C2001: Pre-connected universal defibrillation pads
• SMT-C2002: Pre-connected “face-to-face” universal defibrillation pads
Depending on the patient to be treated, you must select on the keyboard of the SMARTY Saver Plus device the type of
patient (adult age >8 or weight >25 kg / paediatric age from 1 to 8 or weight <25 kg). The use of this type of pads is, in
general, contraindicated in patients younger than 12 months and weighing less than 10 kg.
The pre-connected universal defibrillation pads are class I medical devices; the term “pre-connected” means that the
cable and the connector are external to the sealed packaging, so that they can be pre-connected to the device, thus
avoiding having to insert the connector during aid.
For more detailed information, please always refer to the related user manual and to the indications on the electrodes’ bag.
5.2.1 Pre-connected universal defibrillation pads SMT-C2001
The defibrillation pads SMT-C2001 are universal, single-use and pre-gelled.
They are supplied in individual sealed packaging which mentions the expiry date (typically 30 months); on the indicated
expiry date, the pads must be replaced, even if they have never been used.
5.2.2 Pre-connected Face-to-Face universal defibrillation pads SMT-
C2002
Face-to-Face universal defibrillation pads SMT-C2002 are universal, single-use and pre-gelled.
The term “face-to-face” indicates that the plates are electrically paired so that the SMARTY Saver Plus device can
measure their effectiveness - based on the quality of the gel’s conductibility - and warn - using control LEDs - when it
has declined.
This signal must result in the replacement of the pads.
After the expiry date mentioned on the packaging, it is recommended to replace the pads, regardless of the signal issued
by the defibrillator
