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. Early
Advanced Care. Every step helps save lives. Any break in the
Chain compromises survival.
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
instantaneous CPR Feedback helps guide the rescuer through the
entire effort to rescue SCA victims. The AED Plus Fully Supports the Rescuer
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 onepiece,
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™ 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
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. Self-Testing Assures Constant Readiness
The ZOLL AED Plus conducts a self-test
every one to seven days, depending on the
configuration chosen. The status indicator
shows either a green “ ” or a red “X” to
clearly indicate whether the unit is ready for
use. When the unit requires new batteries,
it sounds an alarm and displays a red “X.”
Everything You Need for the Rescue
The CPR-D•padz™ comes complete with a
CPR barrier mask, scissors, disposable
gloves, a prep razor, a towel, and a moist
towelette.
