Manual Defibrillators Responders are trained to interpret rhythms and deliver defibrillating shocks. Used by doctors and paramedics trained to interpret heart rhythms.
Second Generation:
Ordinary AEDs One- or two-button shock boxes needing two electrodes. They do not fully support the Chain of Survival or help with effective CPR.
Third Generation:
Full-Rescue AED ZOLL’s AED Plus™ is the only Full-Rescue AED because it defibrillates, provides feedback to help with effective CPR, and supports the full Chain of Survival.
Only One AED Supports the Entire Rescue
Instantaneous CPR Feedback Inadequate compression rate and depth are common during CPR 2, 3, 4. Adult victims 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.
The ZOLL® AED Plus™ Converts compression data instantaneously 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 screen. ZOLL’s AED Plus is the only AED that helps the rescuer achieve the correct rate and depth of chest compressions during CPR. No other AED has this capability.
Consumer Batteries for Convenience and Savings The ZOLL AED Plus is the only AED to use inexpensive, consumer batteries that are easy to replace and last at least five years in stand-by mode. These lithium camera batteries are available at most department and electronics stores.
ZOLL’s Rectilinear Biphasic™ Waveform The ZOLL Rectilinear Biphasic waveform is the only biphasic waveform cleared by the FDA5 to be labeled as clinically superior to monophasic waveforms for the conversion of ventricular fibrillation in high-impedance patients. It allows the AED Plus to deliver more current than any other AED when it matters most.
