Connecting the Pads

The RESCUE SAM defibrillation/monitoring pads are supplied sealed in a pouch with the connector and
part of the cable exposed. This allows the pads to be stored in a pre-connected state for rapid
deployment during an emergency.
CAUTION: DO NOT remove the defibrillation pads from the sealed package until the pads are to be
used. The packaging should be opened only immediately prior to use, otherwise the pads may dry out
and become non-functional.
Note: The RESCUE SAM is designed to be stored with the pads connector already installed. This
simplifies the procedure for setting up and operating the device in an emergency.
First, check to ensure that the pad package has not expired. Pads past their expiration date should not
be used and should be discarded.
Insert the connector end of the defibrillation pad cable into the pads connector port on the bottom-left
corner of the RESCUE SAM. Insert pads connector firmly until it is fully seated in the unit.
CAUTION: The pads are intended for one time use only and must be discarded after use or if the
package has been opened.

Storing the RESCUE SAM AED

The RESCUE SAM (preferably with pads attached) should be stored in environmental conditions within
range of the specifications - refer to the "Environmental" section of "Technical Specifications". The unit
should also be stored so that the Active Status Indicator can be readily seen.
The Status Indicator should periodically blink with a green light. If it blinks with a red light or does not
blink at all, the RESCUE SAM needs servicing – refer to the "Checking the Status Indicator" section for
more information.
Progetti Srl recommends storing your AED in an easily accessible location.
