What is a Pad-Pak?
A Pad-Pak is HeartSine’s single cartridge that holds both the defibrillation electrodes and the battery for the Samaritan PAD. One part, one expiry date, one replacement every four years or after every use. The adult version is PAD-PAK-01; the pediatric version, PAD-PAK-02, lowers the energy for children under 8 or under 55 lb.
How much do AED pads cost?
For a HeartSine the answer is the Pad-Pak: $236 for adults and $279 pediatric at AED Leader and Response Ready on 18 September 2026, and that price already includes the battery. Pads-only sets for other brands run $75.15 (Defibtech Lifeline) to $234 (ZOLL CPR Uni-padz), with a separate battery on top.
Are defibrillator pads reusable?
No. Once the pads have been applied to a patient the gel is spent and the cartridge must be replaced, even if no shock was delivered. Unopened Pad-Paks are good until the printed expiry, four years from manufacture, so buy the freshest date the seller has.
Where can I find replacement defibrillator pads?
Authorized distributors only: AED Leader and Response Ready stock PAD-PAK-01 and PAD-PAK-02, and the other ranking sellers list the same $236. Avoid marketplace listings without a printed manufacture date; a cartridge made three years ago has one year of life left at the same price.
The HeartSine Pad-Pak combines battery and adult electrode pads into one 4-year cartridge. Replace one cartridge instead of tracking two separate maintenance cycles (battery and pads), and that simplicity is the reason HeartSine is the lowest-maintenance AED line. Compatible with the Samaritan PAD 350P, 360P, and 450P. Pediatric version available separately (Samaritan Pediatric Pad-Pak). Authentic HeartSine inventory from authorized U.S. distributors only.
The HeartSine Adult Pad-Pak 01 is one cartridge containing both the adult pads and the device battery, replaced as a single unit every 4 years. This eliminates the two separate replacement schedules every other AED requires, and produces the lowest annual upkeep among the AEDs we cover: $59 a year at $236 per cartridge (AED Leader and Response Ready, price checked 18 September 2026). Compatible with the HeartSine 350P, 360P, and 450P. Pediatric patients require the separate (pink) Pediatric Pad-Pak.

- Common Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Can I buy just the HeartSine battery without new pads?
No. HeartSine’s Pad-Pak architecture intentionally combines pads and battery into one cartridge. There is no separate battery SKU. This is the whole point of the Pad-Pak workflow: one consumable, one replacement schedule, one calendar reminder. If your pads still look fine but the device indicator went red, the cartridge still needs replacement because the battery has reached end-of-life. The combined cartridge approach trades pad-only refill flexibility for the lowest annual upkeep among the AEDs we cover, about $59 a year at $236 per 4-year cartridge.
Adult vs Pediatric Pad-Pak: which do I need?
Use the gray Adult Pad-Pak 01 for patients 8 years and older, or 55+ pounds. Use the pink Pediatric Pad-Pak for patients under 8 years or under 55 pounds. For mixed-population sites (schools, daycare, churches with children’s programs, youth athletic facilities), stock both side-by-side in the same cabinet. The deliberately different colors prevent wrong-SKU errors during a panicked rescue. Both cost ~$185–195 with the same 4-year cycle, so the dual stock adds about $50/yr in annual upkeep.
What happens when the Pad-Pak expires?
The HeartSine device’s daily self-test detects the upcoming expiration and flips the status indicator from green to red approximately 30 days before the printed “Use By” date. The device will still deliver a rescue past expiration but reliability drops and you lose certification compliance. Replace immediately when the indicator changes. The expired cartridge can be recycled through Stryker’s battery recycling program. Don’t attempt to disassemble the Pad-Pak; the battery cells are sealed and lithium-based.
Are Pad-Paks interchangeable across 350P/360P/450P?
Yes. Adult Pad-Pak 01 and Pediatric Pad-Pak work identically across the HeartSine 350P, 360P, and 450P. This is deliberate accessory standardization: a district running mixed-model HeartSine fleets only needs to stock two cartridge SKUs total. The 450P’s CPR Rate Advisor and the 360P’s fully-automatic shock are device-level features, not pad-level. Pad-Pak interchangeability makes HeartSine the easiest multi-device fleet to procure consumables for in the entire AED category.
