ZOLL AED plus Defibrillator

Features:

1- Measuring Chest Compression with Real CPR Help

Failure to adequately compress a victim’s chest is a common error during CPR.1,2,3 The force required to properly compress a victim’s chest 11/2 - 2 inches varies depending on the patient’s build and anatomy. Until now, only force and pressure sensors have been available. Real CPR help technology in ZOLL’s CPR-D•padz® includes a hand-placement locator, an accelerometer, electronics, and a sophisticated processing algorithm. This technology accurately measures chest compressions and converts the motion of the accelerometer over time into distance moved. Only real CPR Help can help an infrequent rescuer correct and improve compressions in real-time asnCPR is performed during the rescue.

2- One Electrode Size Fits All

A one-piece electrode design must account for anatomical variation in the patient population.
The design of ZOLL’s CPR-D•padz is based on extensive human anthropometric data and studies designed to accommodate the wide range of patient sizes and shapes and to ensure that a one-piece electrode meets the needs of emergency AED use. The design developed for the CPR-D•padz meets the anthropometric characteristics of 99% of human chest anatomy. A special feature lets the rescuer separate the apex (lower) electrode to cover the other 1% of the population whose anatomical variations require special adaptation.

3- Simplified Electrode Placement

Simplifying electrode placement is critical to widespread use of AEDs. Labeling helps but is often overlooked or discarded in an emergency that is sudden and unanticipated. The infrequent rescuer is easily confused when looking at a victim as to “left,” “right,” “up,” and “down.” Two separate electrodes cause concern over incorrect placement and technical complications if electrodes stick together before being placed correctly on the patient. The unique one-piece design of ZOLL’s CPR-D•padz addresses these problems by orienting the design to the head while using the easily remembered CPR landmark (the sternum) as the key placement cue. The backing of the electrode is then removed by a simple pull after positioning. Because this is the same placement taught for CPR hand position, AED users benefit from having to remember only one easy landmark for both interventions.

4- Five-Year Shelf Life

Infrequently used AEDs need electrodes that do not require frequent replacement. Most AED electrodes will expire before they are used. Corrosion of the electrode element due to long-term contact with ionic gel is the main limitation of electrode shelf life. ZOLL’s CPR-D•padz protect the electrode elements with a novel design that sacrifices a non-critical element in the electrode to control the corrosion process and allow an unmatched five-year AED electrode life. ZOLL’s CPR-D•padz reduce electrode replacement costs, facilitates AED readiness and maintenance, and decrease the probability of an AED’s failure due to electrode expiration.
