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. A Complete Road Map for Resuscitation: A picture is worth a thousand words. The AED Plus' unique graphical interface pictures combined with text displays and voice prompts helps the rescuer 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 Pad 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 electrode with CPR Feedback. By using CPR hand placement as the landmark, it is easy to place the CPR-D-padz on the victim quickly. The CPR-D-padz also lasts four years - the longest shelf life of any electrode sold today.
Intelligent Pediatric Capability: The ZOLL AED Plus can defibrillate children up to eight years of age, using the pedi-padz II(TM) electrodes. When the pedi-padz II are connected, the AED Plus recognizes that a pediatric rescue is in progress. With ECG analysis designed specifically for a pediatric heart rate, coupled with appropriate defibrillation energy levels, the AED Plus can handle both adult and pediatric rescues. 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 11/2 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(TM) 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 FDA 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.
