G3 Pro adult pads are for the Powerheart G3 Pro — the professional variant of the legacy G3 line. Different from standard G3 pads (P/N 9131-001) and incompatible with the current-generation G5. If your facility still runs G3 Pro units, these are the authorized replacement. Many G3 Pro operators have upgraded to G5 for current-generation reliability and pediatric capability — see our G5 review.
Legacy pediatric pads for the original Powerheart G3 platform — maintained for K-12 + daycare facilities running pre-G5 Cardiac Science fleets. New buyers should upgrade to G5 + G5 Pediatric pads.

- Common Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Should I refill G3 pediatric or upgrade the AED?
If your G3 is past the 8-year warranty, plan a G5 upgrade rather than refilling pediatric pads. G3 pediatric supply windows narrow each year as the platform retires. If your G3 is still within useful life and you have an active K-12 mandate compliance requirement, bridge-refill the legacy pediatric SKU while you budget the G5 migration over the next 12–24 months. Don’t replace pediatric pads on a G3 device you’ll retire within 18 months — that’s wasted spend.
Are G3 and G5 pediatric pads interchangeable?
No — different connectors, different geometry, different Intellisense detection. G3 pediatric pads will not fit a G5, and G5 pediatric pads will not fit a G3. If you run a mixed-fleet K-12 district with both G3 and G5 units, stock both pediatric SKUs and label cabinets clearly to prevent rescue-time errors. Plan device migration to standardize the entire pediatric SKU within the next 24 months — running mixed accessories at scale creates real operational risk.
