Zoll AED Plus Defibrillator

AED Plus Automated External Defibrillator

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 requires cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

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

ZOLL's AED Plus® features Real CPR Help®, a CPR feedback 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 automated external defibrillator (AED).

* Not pushing hard enough? It will tell you when 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.

CPR Feedback

ZOLL believes AEDs should not just deliver a shock. They should also help the rescuer provide high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). That's why you need ZOLL AEDs, the AED Plus with Real CPR Help.

The AED Plus offers:

* Real CPR Help for rate and depth of compressions.

* Support for the complete Chain of Survival.

* Help to all victims of SCA, even those for which no shock is advised.

* A one-piece electrode pad for fast and accurate placement.

* Our AEDs use consumer lithium camera batteries available from retail stores.

Other important features:

* Intelligent Pediatric Capability

* ZOLL's Rectilinear Biphasicâ„¢ Waveform

* Total AED Program Management with En-Proâ„¢

* Able to follow Guidelines 2010

Product Description

With innovative Real CPR Help®, See-Thru CPRTM, and ECG monitoring, the ZOLL® AED Pro® is a durable and dependable AED that exceeds all erformance expectations.

Rugged Construction, Advanced Capabilities

Designed with advanced capabilities, the ZOLL AED Pro supports Basic Life Support as well as Advanced Life Support professionals. A high-resolution LCD display allows responders to visualize a patient’s ECG. Real CPR Help

The AED Pro is the first defibrillator designed for professional responders with real-time feedback on CPR chest compressions. ZOLL’s unique real-time feedback mechanism, Real CPR Help, includes a metronome set at the AHA recommended 100 bpm and a screen display that helps rescuers achieve optimum rate and depth of compression levels through audible and/or visual prompts.

See-Thru CPR

When the AED Pro is in manual mode and CPR chest compressions are being performed, See-Thru CPR is activated. See-Thru CPR reduces interruptions by allowing clinicians to see organized electrical activity while CPR compressions are being performed by filtering out compression artifact (“noise”). This allows rescuers the ability to see a patient’s underlying cardiac rhythm during resuscitation efforts and eliminates the need to stop compressions to see if defibrillation was successful.

Manufacturers Claimed Features of the ZOLL AED Plus Defibrillator:

* Graphical operator interface.
