The ZOLL AED Plus combines straightforward audio and visual rescue guidance with Real CPR Help®, which provides feedback on chest-compression rate and depth. It is commonly used in workplaces, schools and public-access AED programs.
AED Plus uses CPR-D-padz® for adult rescue and separately available Pedi-padz® II for pediatric patients.
The ZOLL AED 3 adds a full-color touchscreen, rescue images, RapidShock® analysis and Wi-Fi connectivity. Its CPR Uni-padz® can be used for both adult and pediatric rescue by activating the AED's child mode.
This universal electrode design is one of the biggest practical differences between the AED 3 and AED Plus.
The ZOLL AED Pro is designed primarily for professional responders. In addition to Real CPR Help®, available capabilities include 3-lead ECG monitoring, See-Thru CPR® and manual override functionality for trained users.
Real CPR Help® provides real-time feedback on chest-compression performance. Depending on the AED model, rescuers can receive visual and audio guidance related to compression rate and depth during CPR.
AED electrodes and batteries are consumable components and should be checked regularly as part of an AED maintenance program. CPR-D-padz® for AED Plus and CPR Uni-padz® for AED 3 are designed for long shelf lives, but they still require replacement after use or when their expiration date is reached.
