Where to stock paediatric pads

Schools (especially primary), childcare centres, sports clubs with junior teams, family-oriented venues (community centres, swimming pools), and any AED program where children might require rescue. Paediatric cardiac arrest is rare but the cost of pads vs the cost of being unprepared makes them a worthwhile addition for child-facing sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these on a child between 8 and 12 years?
Standard guidance: 8+ years use adult pads; under 8 use paediatric. For borderline cases (small 8-9 year-olds, large 7 year-olds), use the type matching their weight (25 kg threshold) rather than strictly age.

Should I replace adult pads with paediatric in my AED?
No — store both. The adult pads are pre-connected for the most likely rescue (adult cardiac arrest); paediatric pads are stored alongside, ready to swap if needed.

Are these the same as "Semi/Fully Auto Paediatric Pads"?
Functionally similar — confirm with us which exact SKU your AED firmware requires (paediatric pads need v1.203+ firmware).
