Contraindications for use
Do not use the HeartSine samaritan PAD to provide
treatment if the patient is responsive or conscious.
Intended user
Each device is intended for use by personnel who
have been trained in its operation.
Note: Each device is intended for use by lay
personnel. Training on CPR and in the use of an AED
is strongly recommended for users. However, in an
emergency situation, the HeartSine samaritan PAD
may be used by an untrained lay rescuer
Clinical benefit
The clinical benefit of the HeartSine samaritan PAD
used together with the Pad-Pak or Pediatric-Pak,
is the delivery of a therapeutic shock to a patient
in shockable sudden cardiac arrest in order to
terminate cardiac arrest rhythm and promote the
return of spontaneous blood-flow.
Intended purpose
The HeartSine samaritan PAD family of AEDs is
designed to automatically assess the patients heart
rhythm, advise and/or automatically deliver a
defibrillation shock to victims of sudden cardiac
arrest if required. The use of a HeartSine samaritan
PAD defibrillator, to deliver the therapeutic electric
shock across the heart, can stop the disruption to
the heart’s normal rhythm and restore blood-flow.
Indications for use
The HeartSine samaritan PAD 350P (SAM 350P),
HeartSine samaritan PAD 360P (SAM 360P) and
HeartSine samaritan PAD 500P (SAM 500P) each
is used together with the Pad-Pak or Pediatric-Pak.
Each is indicated for use on victims of cardiac arrest
who are exhibiting the following signs:
• Unconscious
• Not breathing
• Without circulation (without a pulse)
Intended patient population
Each device is intended for use on patients greater
than 8 years old or over 25 kg (55 lb) when used
with the adult Pad-Pak (PAD-PAK-01, PAD-PAK-03,
PAD-PAK-07). Each is intended for use on children
between 1 and 8 years of age or up to 25 kg
(55 lb) when used with the Pediatric-Pak
(PAD-PAK-02, PAD-PAK-04). The device also is
intended for use on patients on board commercial
fixed-wing aircraft when used with the adult
Pad-Pak (PAD-PAK-07) which is compliant to
TSO/ETSO-certified requirements.

Warnings
Patients suitable for treatment
The HeartSine samaritan PAD has been designed to
work on unconscious, nonresponsive patients. If the
patient is responsive or conscious, do not use the
HeartSine samaritan PAD to provide treatment.
The HeartSine samaritan PAD uses an
interchangeable battery and electrode pack
called Pad-Pak. The HeartSine samaritan PAD in
combination with an adult Pad-Pak is suitable for
use on patients of over 25 kg (55 lb) in weight or
equivalent to a child of approximately 8 years old
or over.
For use on smaller children (from 1 to 8 years old),
remove the adult Pad-Pak and install a Pediatric-
Pak. If a Pediatric-Pak or an alternative suitable
defibrillator is not available, you may use an adult
Pad-Pak.
If a pediatric patient is treated with an adult
Pad-Pak, ignore the CPR Advisor feedback prompts
provided. CPR Advisor is currently only intended to
provide feedback on adult patients.
Do not delay treatment
Do not delay treatment trying to find out the
patient’s exact age and weight.
Risk of electric shock
The HeartSine samaritan PAD delivers therapeutic
electrical shocks that can cause serious harm to
either users or bystanders. Take care to ensure that
no one touches the patient when a shock is to be
delivered.
Do not open or repair
The HeartSine samaritan PAD has no serviceable
parts. Do not open or repair the device under any
circumstances as there could be danger of electric
shock. If damage is suspected, immediately replace
the HeartSine samaritan PAD.
Avoid explosive or flammable gases
The HeartSine samaritan PAD is safe to use with
oxygen mask delivery systems. However, to avoid
the risk of an explosion, it is strongly advised that
you do not use the HeartSine samaritan PAD in
the vicinity of explosive gases, including flammable
anaesthetics or concentrated oxygen.
Do not touch the patient during analysis
Touching the patient during the analysis phase of
treatment can cause interference with the analysis
process. Avoid contact with the patient while the
HeartSine samaritan PAD is analysing the patient.
The device will instruct you when it is safe to touch
the patient.
Fully automatic defibrillator (SAM 360P)
The SAM 360P is a fully automatic defibrillator.
When required, it will deliver a shock to the patient
WITHOUT user intervention.
CPR Advisor (SAM 500P)
CPR Advisor is intended for use on adult patients
only. If a Pediatric-Pak is used, the CPR Advisor
function is disabled. In this case, the rescuer is
prompted to begin CPR in time with the metronome
but receives no CPR Advisor feedback.

Warnings and cautions
Use with pacemakers
The presence of a pacemaker should not affect the
functioning of the AED. However, to avoid damage
to the pacemaker, it is recommended that the
pads are placed at least 8 cm (3.1 in) away from a
pacemaker. A noticeable lump with a surgical scar
should indicate the location of an implanted device.1
Incorrect use of AED
Incorrect use of AED could lead to incorrect analysis
or incorrect therapy delivery resulting in failure to
resuscitate, cardiac damage or injury.
Incorrect maintenance or storage of AED
Incorrect maintenance or storage of AED could
lead to failure of the AED resulting in failure to
resuscitate.
Cautions
Correct placement of electrode pads
Proper placement of the electrode pads is critical.
You must strictly observe the instructions shown on
pages 21-28 and on the device. Wrong placement or
the presence of air, hair, fabric, surgical dressings
or medicine patches between the pads and the
skin could reduce defibrillation effectiveness or
potentially cause skin burns. Slightly red skin after
shock therapy is normal.
Do not use electrode pads if pouch is not
sealed
The Pad-Pak and Pediatric-Pak are single-use items
which must be replaced after each use or if the
pouch that seals the electrode pads has been broken
or compromised in any way. If you suspect that
the Pad-Pak or Pediatric-Pak is damaged, replace it
immediately.
Susceptibility to electromagnetic
interference
Portable RF communications equipment (including
peripherals such as antenna cables and external
antennas) should not be used closer than 30 cm
(12 in) to any part of the HeartSine samaritan PAD
including cables specified by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this
equipment could result.
Use of competitor or third-party
products
Do not use HeartSine samaritan PAD, Pad-Pak or
Pediatric-Pak with any competitor or third-party
equivalent products. Use of electrical accessories,
transducers and cables other than those specified or
provided by HeartSine Technologies could result in
increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased
electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and
result in improper operation.
Use of the device
Use of this HeartSine samaritan PAD adjacent to or
stacked with other equipment should be avoided as
it could result in improper operation. If such use is
necessary, this HeartSine samaritan PAD and the
other equipment should be observed to verify that
they are operating normally.

Overview
chambers of the heart, called the ventricles. Although
there are many different types of VT, this arrhythmia
can be potentially life-threatening if the patient
presents with no pulse and is unresponsive. If not
treated with immediate defibrillation VT may lead to
other arrhythmias.
Treatment by AED
It is a common misconception that CPR alone and
calling emergency services is enough. CPR is a
temporary measure that maintains blood flow and
oxygen to the brain. CPR alone will not return a heart
to a normal rhythm during VF or VT. The
key to survival is defibrillation – and the sooner
the better.
Defibrillation is a common treatment for life-
threatening arrhythmias, mainly ventricular
fibrillation. Defibrillation consists of delivering an
electrical shock to the heart with a device called
a defibrillator. This restores normal heart muscle
contractions and allows normal sinus rhythm to be
restored by the body’s natural pacemaker in
the heart.
The HeartSine samaritan PAD uses the HeartSine
samaritan ECG arrhythmia analysis algorithm.
This algorithm will evaluate the patient’s ECG to
ascertain if a therapeutic shock is appropriate. If a
shock is required, the HeartSine samaritan PAD will
charge and advise the user to press the shock button
(SAM 350P/500P) or will automatically deliver a shock
(SAM 360P). If no shock is advised, the device will
pause to allow the user to deliver CPR.
It is important to note that cardiac defibrillators, like
the HeartSine samaritan PAD, will not administer a
shock unless a lifesaving shock is required.
Sudden cardiac arrest
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a condition in which
the heart suddenly stops pumping blood effectively
due to a malfunction of the heart’s electrical system.
Often victims of SCA have no prior warning signs
or symptoms. SCA also can occur in people with
previously diagnosed heart conditions. Survival
from SCA depends on immediate and effective
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
The use of an external defibrillator within the first
few minutes of a collapse can greatly improve a
patient’s chance of survival. Heart attack and SCA
are not the same, though sometimes a heart attack
can lead to an SCA. If you are experiencing symptoms
of a heart attack (chest pain, pressure, shortness of
breath, tight feeling in the chest or elsewhere in the
body), immediately seek medical attention.
Sinus rhythm and ventricular fibrillation
The normal heart rhythm, known as sinus rhythm,
creates electrical activity resulting in coordinated
contraction of the heart muscle. This generates
normal blood flow around the body.
Ventricular fibrillation (V-fib or VF) is a condition
in which there is uncoordinated contraction of
the heart muscle, making it quiver rather than
contract properly. Ventricular fibrillation is the most
commonly identified arrhythmia in SCA patients.
In victims of SCA it is possible to re-establish normal
sinus rhythm by means of an electric shock across the
heart. This treatment is called defibrillation.
Ventricular tachycardia
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a type of tachycardia
(rapid heartbeat) that arises from improper electrical
activity of the heart. VT starts in the bottom

Introduction
Recommended training
SCA is a condition requiring immediate emergency
medical intervention. Due to the nature of the
condition, this intervention can be performed before
seeking the advice of a physician.
The devices are intended for use by personnel who
have been trained in their operation.
Note: The devices are intended for use by lay
personnel. Training on CPR and in the use of an AED
is strongly recommended for users. However, in an
emergency situation, the HeartSine samaritan PAD
may be used by an untrained lay rescuer
If potential users of the HeartSine samaritan PAD
are not trained in these techniques, contact your
Authorised Distributor or HeartSine Technologies
directly. Either can arrange for training to
be provided. Alternatively contact your local
government health department for information on
certified training organisations in your area.
CPR Advisor (SAM 500P)
When providing CPR treatment to a victim
of sudden cardiac arrest, it is vital the chest
compressions are of a good quality. If the quality of
the CPR provided is good, the chances of successfully
resuscitating a patient are greatly increased.
Research has demonstrated that non-professional
responders regularly provide ineffective CPR due to
inexperience.
The SAM 500P with CPR Advisor provides feedback
to the rescuer on the force and rate of the CPR they
are providing to the victim. The SAM 500P uses
impedance cardiogram measurements to analyse
the force and rate of compressions and provide the
user with instruction to push harder, push faster or
push slower, or to continue to provide compressions
according to the ERC/AHA resuscitation guidelines.
The SAM 500P uses both audible and visual
feedback to give the responder instruction on CPR
force and rate. Refer to Technical data in Appendix
C on page C-11.
WARNING: THE CPR ADVISOR FUNCTION
IS INTENDED FOR USE ON ADULT PATIENTS
ONLY. IF A PEDIATRIC-PAK IS USED, THE CPR
ADVISOR FUNCTION IS DISABLED. IN THIS CASE,
THE RESCUER IS PROMPTED TO BEGIN CPR IN
TIME WITH THE METRONOME BUT RECEIVES
NO CPR ADVISOR FEEDBACK
