Active
510(k) K954504
Overview
The K-Defib/Pace Pediatric Electrode is a single-use adhesive electrode designed for use with automated external defibrillators (non-wearable) and cardiac pacing devices. It is specifically engineered for pediatric patients, providing precise electrical conduction for defibrillation and pacing procedures in emergency cardiac care settings.
Supplied as a sterile, single-use device, the electrode is intended for pre-hospital and clinical environments where rapid application is critical. It adheres securely to pediatric skin and is compatible with standard defibrillator and pacing systems. The device is classified as Class III under FDA regulations (870.5310) and holds a 510(k) clearance for substantial equivalence in cardiovascular applications. Storage requires protection from moisture and extreme temperatures.
