ZOLL AED Plus
The ZOLL AED PLUS is ZOLL Corporations Automated
External Defibrillator for the public-access market.
It represents the work of the second biggest defibrillator
manufacturer in the world at coming up with an AED
unit for the non-professional rescuer.
PROVEN WAVEFORM TECHNOLOGY
The ZOLL AED PLUS unit is incorporates Rectilinear
Biphasic Technology - branded by the FDA as superior
to monophasic waveforms in converting ventricular
fibrillation in high-impedance patients. Unlike some
competing units, the ZOLL AED PLUS uses low-energy
biphasic impulses with a maximum delivery of 200 joules
to convert ventricular fibrillation without the undue
damage to heart muscle that is possible with higher
energy shocks.

NOT JUST AN AED, BUT A TOTAL RESUSCITATION SYSTEM
The ZOLL AED PLUS does more than just deliver electrical
therapy. It coaches the rescuer through the assessment
for CPR. Procedures such as calling EMS and checking
for breathing and circulation are depicted in the
flashing graphics and through verbal prompts. When
performing CPR, the ZOLL AED PLUS gives feedback to
the rescuer by measuring the amount of pressure applied
to the patient's chest and providing corrective advice
such as "PUSH HARDER" or "GOOD COMPRESSIONS".
The unit's metronome will beep at the recommended
100 compressions per minute rate to keep rescuers
on the correct pace for chest compressions. No other
AED has so many CPR resuscitation features.
SIMPLE FOR COMMUNITY RESCUERS, PACKED WITH FEATURES
FOR PROFESSIONALS
For groups with good EKG skills, the ZOLL AED PLUS
can be configured to display an EKG trace. This allows
clinical facilities to have some insight on the activity
of the heart during the resuscitation process. The
unit's CPR enhancement features are also helpful as
research suggests that saturation and fatigue tend
to cause even professional rescuers to perform less-than-perfect
CPR as resuscitation time goes on.
SIMPLE TO MAINTAIN
The ZOLL AED PLUS works on consumer Lithium 123 batteries.
This makes the cost of ownership of the unit significantly
less than competing units with proprietary batteries.
Consider that most occupational settings end up not
using their AED on a patient for years - the $100
- $250 cost of each proprietary battery that is consumed
every 2 or so years (batteries have a 5-7 shelf life,
but they get used up more quickly in a machine dues
to self testing) tend to drive up the cost of owning
a traditional AED.
The consumer lithium batteries are also very reliable.
The ZOLL unit runs on 10 batteries that provide 300
shocks in a resuscitation. Even with if 5 individual
batteries failed (an astronomically unlikely scenario),
the unit would be able to deliver 150 shocks (more
than enough to work many average resuscitations).
