The American Heart Association’s 2010 Guidelines recommend rescuers push hard to a depth of at least two inches at a rate of at least 100 compressions per minute. Rescuers shouldn’t have to guess if the appropriate depth and rate are being reached. Only an AED Plus ® with Real CPR Help ® technology provides the best support for saving a life.

Research shows that the probability of survival goes up dramatically when CPR is performed, and when an AED is applied before an ambulance arrives. Only Zoll’s AED Plus is equipped with Real CPR Help technology. A sensor in the pads that attach to the patient lets the AED see each chest compression and guides the user, with prompts and a real-time bar gauge, to the recommended depth and rate of compressions.

The AED Plus can help an organization’s bottom line. The AED Plus has the lowest total cost of ownership of all AEDs on the market, especially when considering the logistics of tracking and changing pads and batteries over the life of the AED. The AED Plus is powered by lithium batteries (available from retail outlets) that last five years, and the CPR-D-padz Electrode lasts five years as well.
