Shelf Life and Storage
Store sealed in a cool, dry location. Monitor expiration.
Key Features
- Reduced energy output for pediatric patients
- Intellisense technology integration
- Pediatric placement guide included
- Exclusive compatibility with the Powerheart G5
Even though the G5 has a built-in Child Mode button, pediatric patients still require dedicated pediatric pads — the smaller pad geometry matters for chest size, not just energy. Required for K-12 + daycare deployments running G5.

- Common Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Doesn't the G5 button handle pediatric mode without separate pads?
No — the G5’s built-in Child Mode button adjusts shock energy for a pediatric patient, but pad geometry still matters. Pediatric chest size requires smaller pad surface area and different placement than adult pads. Using adult Intellisense pads on a pediatric patient (even with Child Mode enabled) creates burn risk and may not achieve effective defibrillation. For schools, daycare, and any K-12 facility, stock dedicated G5 Pediatric Intellisense pads alongside adult pads. The button alone is not the complete pediatric workflow.
G5 pediatric pads vs G3 pediatric — same or different SKU?
Different SKUs entirely. The G3 used legacy pediatric pads that won’t connect to the G5; the G5 uses modern Intellisense-compatible pediatric pads. If your facility runs a mixed G3/G5 fleet, stock both pediatric SKUs and label them clearly to prevent rescue-time confusion. For K-12 districts upgrading from G3 to G5, plan the pediatric SKU migration at the same time as the device migration to avoid stocking obsolete pediatric pads on aging G3 units.
