    THE PAD DEVICE WAS INSTALLED ON (B)(6) 2008 AND OPERATED SUCCESSFULLY UNTIL A FAILED SELF TEST ON (B)(6) 2010. THE USER WAS ALERTED TO THE PROBLEM BY A FLASHING RED LED AND AN AUDIBLE BEEP. ALTHOUGH NO FAULT WAS FOUND WITH THE PAD OR PAD-PAK THE PAD-PAK WAS DEPLETED TO THE POINT IT TRIGGERED THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN THE DEVICE. THE BATTERIES CAN BE DEPLETED BY A VARIETY OF CONDITIONS INCLUDING THE STORAGE LOCATION OF THE DEVICE, AGE OF BATTERY PACK AND LEVEL OF MANUAL INTERVENTION. THE PAD-PAK WAS CONSIDERED TO BE TYPICAL OF ONE BEING IN USE FOR ALMOST TWO AND A HALF YEARS. THE PAD PAK, WHICH CONTAINS THE ELECTRODES AND BATTERIES, IS LABELLED FOR SINGLE USE BUT THE SAMARITAN PAD 300 AND 300P DEVICES ARE FOR MULTI-USE.
