Zoll AED Plus (#20100000102011010-T)

What Good is an AED that Only Works Half the Time?

When a cardiac arrest occurs, the fact is that only half of the victims will need a shock. The other half require high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

You deserve an automated external defibrillator (AED) that helps you all the time, one that can actually see when you are doing CPR and provide you help. You need more than just commands without assistance. That's not smart, and it's certainly not help.

Only ZOLL's AED Plus features Real CPR Help, a tool that is able to actually see what you are doing and provide feedback to help you do it well. Audio and visual prompts help you rescue with confidence and clarity unmatched by any other AED.

Not pushing hard enough? It will tell you to push harder.
Pushing hard enough? It will say, "Good compressions."
Not pushing fast enough? A metronome will lead you to the right rate.
It will even show you the depth of each compression.
In real time.
Not yet started? The AED Plus will tell you again to get started.
Compressions stopped? It will tell you to continue.

ZOLL believes an AED should not just deliver a shock. It should also help the rescuer provide high-quality CPR. That's why you need ZOLL's AED Plus with Real CPR Help.


THE CHAIN OF SURVIVAL

The best way to increase the chance of saving sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) victims is to remember and follow every link in the Chain: Early Access, Early CPR, Early Defibrillation, and Early Advanced Care. Every step helps save lives. Any break in the chain compromises survival.

Ordinary AEDs only defibrillate. Rapid defibrillation is a critical intervention to improve survival, but it is not enough. While roughly half of the unresponsive collapsed victims need defibrillation, every one of them needs CPR.

Following the Chain of Survival requires more than just attaching electrodes and delivering a shock. From checking responsiveness, summoning help, and doing an "ABC" assessment (Airway, Breathing, Circulation), to CPR and defibrillation, the ZOLL AED Plus with Real CPR Help helps guide the rescuer through the entire effort to rescue SCA victims.


THE AED PLUS FULLY SUPPORTS THE RESCUER

By focusing on the full Chain of Survival and providing Real CPR Help, the AED Plus is the first and only Full-Rescue AED.


A COMPLETE ROAD MAP FOR RESCUERS

A picture is worth a thousand words. The AED Plus' unique graphical interface - pictures combined with text displays and voice prompts - helps rescures every step of the way. Lights on the pictures draw the rescuer's attention to actions in the proper sequence. Text and voice prompts correspond to the pictures and help the rescuer perform every important life-saving action. These pictures and prompts assure that everything is done in order, and that shocks, if required, are delivered rapidly.


ONE ELECTRODE IS EASIER THAN TWO

Ordinary AEDs require that the rescuer use two confusing electrodes. ZOLL's Full-Rescue AED features CPR-D-padz, a one-piece, pre-connected pair of electrodes with Real CPR Help. By using CPR hand placement as the lnadmark, it is easy to place the CPR-D-padz, on the victim quickly. The CPR-D-padz also last five years - the longest shelf life of any electrodes sold today.


INTELLIGENT PEDIATRIC CAPABILITY

The ZOLL AED Plus can defibrillate children up to eight years of age, using the pedi-padz II electrodes. When the pedi-padz II are connected, the AED Plus recognizes that a pediatric rescue is in progress. With ECG analysis developed specifically for a pediatric heart rate, coupled with appropriate defibrillation energy levels, the AED Plus can handle both adult and pediatric rescues.


INTERACTIVE FEEDBACK FOR RATE AND DEPTH

Inadequate compression rate and depth are common during CPR. Adult vistims need compressions at a rate of 100 per minute and at a depth of 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Compressions must be done well to effectively move blood and oxygen.

ZOLL's Real CPR Help converts compression data instantly from the CPR-D-padz, and provides an adaptive metronome to help the rescuer with the proper rate and depth, saying "Push harder" or "Good compressions," as needed. It also shows CPR compression depth on the display. ZOLL's AED Plus is the only AED that can see your chest compressions and guide you to the correct rate and depth during CPR. No other AED provides Real CPR Help.


CONSUMER BATTERIES FOR CONVENIENCE AND SAVINGS

The AED Plus is the only AED to use inexpensive, consumer lithium batteries that are easy to replace and last five years in stand-by mode.


ZOLL's RECTILINEAR BIPHASIC WAVEFORM

The ZOLL Rectilinear Biphasic waveform (RBW) is the only biphasic waveform cleared by the FDA to be labeled as clinically superior to monophasic waveforms for the conversion of ventricular fiberllation in high-impedance patients. It allows the AED Plus to deliver more current than any other AED when it matters most.
