CONNECTING ELECTRODES TO THE AED
You can connect the QUIK-COMBO electrodes with the REDI-PAK preconnect system to the AED
before patient care to save time. To connect the REDI-PAK-type QUIK-COMBO electrodes:
1 Inspect the electrode package and confirm that the expiration date has not passed.
2 Remove the clear plastic pouch to expose the QUIK-COMBO electrode connector.
3 Open the connector cover on the AED as shown in Figure 2-5.
4 Insert the electrode connector firmly into the cable connector on the AED as shown in Figure 2-5.

5 Store the electrodes in the carrying case or the electrode storage tray.
6 Do not open the electrode package until immediately prior to patient use.
If you use QUIK-COMBO electrodes without the preconnect system, you should:
• Not open the electrode package until immediately prior to patient use.
• Inspect the electrode package and confirm that the expiration date has not passed.
• Store the electrode package in the carrying case or electrode storage tray.
• When ready for patient use, open the electrode package and connect the electrodes to the AED as
shown in Figure 2-5 above.
Note: If you are using FAST-PATCH electrodes, refer to Appendix C.
