Primedic HeartSave CPR Feedback electrodes are designed to work with Primedic HeartSave Y and HeartSave YA defibrillators. The set includes therapeutic electrodes and a chest compression sensor, which enables the CPR Feedback function during resuscitation.
The sensor allows the defibrillator to give feedback on the quality of the CPR being performed. The function helps the person carrying out resuscitation to monitor the rate and depth of compressions and correct their actions accordingly.
The electrodes can be used on adults and children. The way the device operates changes by selecting the appropriate mode directly on the defibrillator, so a separate set of paediatric electrodes is not needed. The product is single-use. Primedic HeartSave CPR Feedback electrodes work with the compression sensor, which enables the CPR Feedback function.
Why choose Primedic HeartSave CPR Feedback electrodes?
During CPR, the rate and depth of chest compressions matter. The sensor supplied with this set allows the defibrillator to give information about their quality, so the person carrying out resuscitation can improve their technique as they go. When you choose Primedic HeartSave CPR Feedback electrodes, you do not need to buy a separate set for children, because the operating mode is set on the defibrillator.
One set of electrodes serves both adults and children, which simplifies the equipment of companies, public offices and schools using HeartSave Y or YA defibrillators: you just switch the mode on the device. The self-adhesive surface makes it easier to place the electrodes correctly on the chest. You will find other models in the category AED defibrillator electrodes. Primedic HeartSave CPR Feedback electrodes have a self-adhesive surface that makes it easier to place them correctly on the chest.
Rules for using electrodes with a compression sensor during CPR
In sudden cardiac arrest, first make sure that you and the casualty are safe, call for help on 999 or 112 and start chest compressions. When a defibrillator is available, switch it on and follow its prompts. The electrodes are single-use, so they must not be used again after use.
Select the mode on the defibrillator that is appropriate for an adult or a child. The information from the CPR Feedback function helps you maintain the correct rate and depth of compressions. You can read how the device itself works in the article Chapter VIII – Automated external defibrillator (AED).
