Zoll AED Plus | Review

The Zoll AED Plus is an affordable AED by one of the pioneers in resuscitation. Zoll's consumer AED for those that do not require the ruggedness featured in their 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, is incredibly competitive in price, and more. 

Zoll took into account the fact that when cardiac arrest occurs, only half of patients will need an actual shock whereas 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 Zoll AED Plus's Real CPR Help has been proven to drastically improve CPR performance (in some studies, upwards of 277% in percentage increase of depth compression), enabling responders to provide lifesaving therapy patients needing shocks and those that only require CPR. 

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 you'll 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, your Zoll AED Plus will act as your guide, ensuring your providing the best care possible for the person in need. 

Zoll also took convenience into account when designing the Zoll AED Plus. Rather than requiring an expensive lithium battery like most 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 long battery life also extends to the Zoll AED Plus's electrodes, called the Zoll CPR-D Padz. Whereas most electrodes feature shelf lives of 2 - 3 years, the Zoll CPR-D Padz feature an impressive 5-year warranty, enabling you to save money with the long-term maintenance of your Zoll AED Plus. 

The Zoll AED Plus is a fantastic AED that is perfect for indoor and limited outdoor use. Whether purchasing an AED for a school, office, community center, or any other location primarily set indoors, the Zoll AED Plus is a perfect companion for you and your AED program.
