Zoll AED Plus | AEDs Today Review
The Zoll AED Plus is an affordable automated external defibrillator by one of the pioneers in resuscitation. Zoll's consumer AED for lay persons and EMS professionals that do not require the ruggedness featured in the Zoll AED Pro, the Zoll AED Plus is incredibly easy to use, features Zolls efficient CPR-D Padz with a five-year shelf life
(the longest of any electrodes), utilizes consumer batteries for convenience
and easy upkeep, is incredibly competitive in price, and more.
When cardiac arrest
occurs, only half of victims will need an actual shock. The other half requires
efficient and proper cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR. The Zoll AED Plus
incorporates this statistic and not only provides all of the features and
abilities of most AEDs, but also Zoll's new patented Real CPR Help. The Real CPR Help featured within the Zoll AED Plus is proven to drastically improve CPR performance (in some studies, upwards of
277% in percentage increase of depth compression).
Zoll AED Plus' Real CPR Help
tool is able to determine what you are doing and provide feedback to help you perform
CPR as best as possible. Not pushing hard enough? The Zoll AED Plus will tell you to push
harder. Not pushing fast enough? The Zoll AED Plus' metronome will guide you with the proper
rate.
So, what does this
mean? It means that with the Zoll AED Plus youll be best prepared for cardiac
arrests of all kinds, from those that require CPR without shock to those that
do. Should you only need to perform CPR, you'll have a knowledgeable guide
to ensure you're providing the best CPR possible.
The Zoll AED Plus has also taken convenience into account for the maintenance. Rather than requiring an expensive lithium battery like most other AEDs, the Zoll AED Plus operates off of 10 Duracel batteries that can be found in any convenience store. The Zoll AED Plus also performs self checks on a regular basis and will inform you if there appears to be a problem of any sort, such as dwindling battery life.
The Zoll AED Plus also features a standard 5-Year Warranty. However, once you register your Zoll AED Plus, the warranty will be upgraded an additional two years, providing you with a comprehensive 7-Year Warranty.
The Zoll AED Plus is a fantastic AED perfect for nearly any environment. For experienced rescue personnel, the Zoll AED Pro is recommended, but for anyone else looking to increase safety and preparedness in a school, office, church, etc., the Zoll AED Plus will fit your needs.
