Further to this, the HeartSave PAD can be switched to ’child mode’ which allows the defibrillator to be used on children with a reduced electric current produced by the unit through specifically designed SavePads Mini. So you don’t have to worry about changing any settings, all you need to do is insert the paediatric pads and you’re ready to go.
Didn’t get a chance to purchase those child-friendly defibrillator pads? That’s okay, you can do it manually by pressing the child button with the SavePads connect inserted.

What is the battery life of Primedic defibrillators?
The Primedic HeartSave YA Fully-Automatic Defibrillator and Primedic HeartSave Y Semi-Automatic Defibrillator both have a battery life of 5 years. Compatible with the HeartSave Semi-Automatic and Fully-Automatic defibrillators, the Primedic HeartSave Y & YA Li-ion Battery is a non-rechargeable lithium unit, designed to deliver up to 150 shocks at 360 joules. Regular checks and self-tests help maintain battery reliability.
How does a Primedic defibrillator work?
Primedic defibrillators have varying features depending on the model, but they all function to analyse a casualty’s heart rhythm and deliver a shock during a Sudden Cardiac Arrest if required. The HeartSave YA Fully-Automatic Defibrillator delivers a shock independently, which is helpful for first responders. The HeartSave Y Semi-Automatic Defibrillator provides prompts and allows the responder to initiate the shock, offering more control during CPR. Understanding the differences between each defibrillator model is an important step when purchasing a Primedic defibrillator.
How often should a Primedic defibrillator be checked?
Like most AEDs, Primedic defibrillators are designed to perform automatic self-tests regularly, typically every 24 hours, to check internal components, battery status, and electrode pad connectivity. This helps ensure the defibrillator is always ready for use. In addition to the automatic self-tests, it's recommended to perform a monthly manual check. This includes visually checking for any signs of damage and ensuring the battery and pads are within their expiry date. A further service health check should be done every 12 months to ensure the defibrillator is ready to use during an emergency.
