(b)(4).The gel on the front pad rolled up.No harm at this time to patient, but gel should not roll up on the pads- could cause a 'no contact' pad function during a code blue.Given back to mfg for evaluation.(b)(4).Shock was given immediately, but as soon as cpr was resumed the defibrillator pads did not stick to the patient.Patient was diaphoretic during event, but defibrillator pads would not stay in place and had we needed to shock again we would have had to change the pads, resulting in a delay of care.After code was completed, it was noted that the gel on the front defibrillator pad was rolled up, as we have seen in photos of previous events with these specific pads.Unfortunately defibrillator pads and packaging were disposed of before any information could be recorded.No device for evaluation.
