The latest American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines issued in 2010, are clear: successful defibrillation requires high-quality CPR performed at the proper depth and rate. When it as time for CPR, the ZOLL AED Plus® with Real CPR Help provides the best support to help save a life.

Only ZOLL as AED Plus is equipped with Real CPR Help technology. The sensor in the pads lets the AED see each chest compression and lets you know how you are doing. It guides you, with prompts and a real-time bar gauge, to the recommended depth and rate of compressions

Measuring Chest Compression with Real CPR Help
The force required to depress the chest during CPR varies with the patient as size and build. The standard measure of chest compression quality, however, is not force but depth. The Real CPR Help® technology in ZOLL as CPR-D-padz® includes a hand-placement locator, an accelerometer, electronics, and a processing algorithm that work together to measure vertical displacement in space as each compression occurs.

One Size Fits All
ZOLL as one-piece electrode design accounts for anatomical variation. Based on extensive human data, CPR-D-padz meet the anthropometric chest characteristics of 99% of the population. If needed, the lower (apex) electrode can be separated and adjusted to accommodate the remaining 1% of the population.

Simplified Placement
Affixing two separate electrode pads to the patient as bare chest can be confusing to a lay rescuer. ZOLL as CPR-D-padz simplify this step by guiding placement of the red crosshairs at the center of the imaginary line connecting the patient as nipples. Once in place, the hand-locator and the two electrode pads fall naturally into optimal position for both defibrillation and CPR.

Five-Year Shelf Life
All AED electrodes transmit defibrillating electricity into the patient via metal in close contact with a salt-infused gel that is positioned between the metal and the skin. Over time, however, the salt in the gel will corrode the metal and eventually compromise electrode functionality. ZOLL as novel electrode design includes a sacrificial element that prevents significant corrosion for five years, which is unmatched in the market today.
