What is it? Kendall Multifunction Defibrillation Electrodes, MEDI-TRACE Cadence Defibrillation Electrodes, Physio-Control/Stryker QUIK-COMBO Pacing/Defibrillation/ECG Electrodes (“Multifunction Defibrillation Electrodes”), are a set of sensors that are attached to a compatible defibrillator and then placed on a person experiencing cardiac arrest to detect and help correct irregular heartbeats.
How does it work? Kendall Multifunction Defibrillation Electrodes are a pair of disposable electrode pads, either provided with a wire and connector or a post. One side of each electrode sticks to a person’s chest to measure electrical signals from their heart. If an irregular heartbeat is detected, the attached defibrillator delivers an electric pulse or shock to restore the heart’s normal beating.

What will it accomplish? When used with a compatible defibrillator, Kendall Multi-function Defibrillation Electrodes can reduce the time a person is in cardiac arrest and increase the chance of survival.
When should it not be used? The multifunction electrodes should not be used on a person who is conscious or responsive.
