Item Brochure

A Gradient Technology is applied to the silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl)
composition of Medi-Trace™ Cadence electrodes, resulting in a more
uniform distribution of current under the electrode during debrillation.

Compare Distribution of Current
using Thermograms
(a)
• Medi-Trace
™
Cadence electrodes clearly illustrate the benet of a more uniform
distribution of current, with reduced skin injury compared with electrodes without
edge-manipulation technology
2
• Medi-Trace
™
Cadence electrodes do not show the concentrated energy areas or
“hot spots” that may cause skin injury
2
Compare Radiotransparence under X-ray
(b)
• Medi-Trace
™
Cadence RTS has superior radiotransparence in comparison
to Zoll Pro-Padz
™*
Bi-phasic and Phillips Heartstart
™*
Radiolucent electrodes
under normal X-ray levels

• Medi-Trace
™
Cadence RTS electrodes feature Nickel-Carbon leadwires
resulting in total radiotransparence of the entire product

Medi-Trace
™
Cadence RTS electrodes as radiotransparent rather than
radiolucent product
(b) X-rays were taken at 64 kVp; X-ray reference is aluminum bar at 64 kVp

Electrodes for Prolonged External Pacing
• Designed to delay onset of alkaline environment resulting from prolonged
external pacing
• Easy to use and simple Pacing Time Calculation Chart supplied with each
IFU booklet helps to reduce the risk of “chemical pacing burns”
(a) Thermograms were taken 3.60 seconds after defibrillation using a bi-phasic defibrillator
