About the Standard Paddle Set
A standard paddle set:
• Can be used instead of QUIK-COMBO therapy electrodes.
• Provides Lead II monitoring signal when held in the anterior-lateral position.
• Is used for defibrillation, synchronized cardioversion, and QUIK-LOOK
®
ECG checks.
To help prevent standard paddles damage:
• Handle with care to prevent damage to paddle surfaces.
• Store in paddle wells on the device to protect the electrode surface.
• Clean dried or wet gel from the electrode surface after each use.
The standard paddle set consists of two parts:
1 The handle assembly, which includes the pediatric paddle
2 The adult paddle attachment
Features of the QUIK-LOOK defibrillation paddles can be used with both the pediatric paddle
and adult paddle attachment.

1 Grasp the standard paddle handle with one hand and the bottom of the adult paddle electrode
