ZOLL AED Plus Automated External Defibrillator Plus, Basic Life Support

It happens in a split second. A person collapses — the victim of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) — and the clock starts ticking in the race to restore a normal rhythm to the heart. A rescuer armed with an automated external defibrillator (AED), who performs CPR, is the victim’s best chance for survival until medical personnel arrive

A proven partner, setting the benchmark for AEDs

While only 50% of those who experience SCA will initially require a shock, every victim needs CPR to increase the flow of oxygenated blood to the heart and brain. To achieve high-quality CPR, ZOLL® AEDs guide rescuers with Real CPR Help®, then deliver a shock, if needed. No other AEDs support rescuers with integrated, real-time instruction and comprehensive feedback on compression rate and depth like ZOLL AEDs.

Ready for the rescue

Lives are not saved by AEDs alone. People save lives using an AED, and saving lives requires confident rescuers who provide high-quality CPR and use an AED with a working battery and pads that have not expired.

• Real CPR Help instills confidence by guiding rescuers to perform high-quality CPR with compressions to the Guidelines-recommended rate and depth.

• AED Programme Management ensures your AED is ready to go when needed.

• Fewer replacements with longer-lasting parts means a lower total cost of ownership and an AED that is ready for the rescue when needed. Trust ZOLL as your AED rescue partner. Together we are ready to help save lives.

Measuring Chest Compression with Real CPR Help

The force required to depress the chest during CPR varies with the patient’s size and build. The standard measure of chest compression quality, however, is not force but depth. The Real CPR Help® technology in ZOLL’s CPR-D-padz® includes a hand-placement locator, an accelerometer, electronics, and a processing algorithm that work together to measure vertical displacement in space as each compression occurs.

One Size Fits All

ZOLL’s one-piece electrode design accounts for anatomical variation. Based on extensive human data, CPR-D-padz meet the anthropometric chest characteristics of 99% of the population. If needed, the lower (apex) electrode can be separated and adjusted to accommodate the remaining 1% of the population.

Simplified Placement

Affixing two separate electrode pads to the patient’s bare chest can be confusing to a lay rescuer. ZOLL’s CPR-D-padz simplify this step by guiding placement of the red crosshairs at the center of the imaginary line connecting the patient’s nipples. Once in place, the hand-locator and the two electrode pads fall naturally into optimal position for both defibrillation and CPR.

Five-Year Shelf Life

All AED electrodes transmit defibrillating electricity into the patient via metal in close contact with a salt-infused gel that is positioned between the metal and the skin. Over time, however, the salt in the gel will corrode the metal and eventually compromise electrode functionality. ZOLL’s novel electrode design includes a sacrificial element that prevents significant corrosion for five years, which is unmatched in the market today.

The ZOLL AED Plus® was the first AED with Real CPR Help® to help rescuers know when they are doing high-quality CPR. Today, the ZOLL AED Plus® continues to set the benchmark for design, dependability, durability, and performance.

More than CPR.

This is Real CPR Help.

Only half of sudden cardiac arrest victims will initially need a shock, while 100% require highquality CPR. ZOLL offers the only AEDs that support rescuers with integrated text, voice, and visual prompts and real-time feedback on compression rate and depth to administer high-quality CPR.

Smart investment with a low total cost of ownership

Once installed, the ZOLL AED Plus has the lowest total cost of ownership compared to other AEDs. Longer-lasting batteries and pads require fewer replacement parts, adding up to considerable cost savings over time and rescue readiness in a cardiac arrest emergency.
