HeartSine PAD-PAKs are unique in the AED world because they combine the pads and battery into one easy-to-use cartridge. No separate parts, no confusion — just one unit to replace. In this guide, we’ll compare the three main types of PAD-PAKs:

• PAD-PAK-01 (Adult)

• PAD-PAK-02 (Pediatric)

• Aviation PAD-PAK

This article will help you understand which model is right for your AED and your environment.

What Is a HeartSine PAD-PAK?

PAD-PAKs are replacement cartridges designed for HeartSine Samaritan AEDs. Each one includes:

• A new battery

• A new set of electrode pads

• A 4-year shelf life from date of installation (or 30 shocks)

They’re available in three versions — for adults, children, and aviation use.

Why One Cartridge Matters: HeartSine’s integrated PAD-PAK design reduces maintenance complexity and ensures both power and pads are fresh and ready at the same time. This is especially helpful in high-traffic or multi-user environments where readiness is critical.
