One Electrode Pad is Easier than Two.
ZOLL Plus AEDs feature CPR-D-padz®, a one-piece, pre-connected electrode with Real CPR Help® feedback.
Ordinary AEDs require that the rescuer use two separate electrodes. By using CPR hand placement as the landmark, it is easy to place the CPR-D-padz® on the person quickly.
How often should ZOLL AED Plus pads last?
Like AED batteries, AED pads have a shelf life. The water-based electrolyte gel that sticks to the chest and conducts electricity will dry out over time. ZOLL AED Plus CPR-D•padz™ have a life expectancy of five years.
Inadequate compression rate and depth are common during CPR. Adult victims need at least 100 compressions per minute and at a depth of at least 2 inches (5 cm) Compressions must be done well to effectively move blood and oxygen.
The ZOL 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 epth of chest compressions during CPR. No other AED has both these capabilities.
