AED's The Most User Friendly AED on the Market

AEDs are tiny, portable devices that analyze heart rhythms, supply on-scene operators with voice-prompted instructions and, when appropriate, can provide a lifesaving shock to victims of SCA (Sudden Cardiac Arrest).

According to Richard Hamburg (director of governmental relations for the American Heart Association) "The availability of a defibrillator is a life-and-death matter for someone suffering cardiac arrest".

There are a dozen or better AEDs (Automatic External Defibrillators) available to choose from. So, why should you consider a ZOLL Defibrillator?

Three Reasons Why You Should Consider a ZOLL Defibrillator

(Sudden Cardiac Arrest) situation, an SCA victim collapses and is unresponsive. Trained help shows up with an AED and attaches the AED electrodes to him. Then the AED tells everyone not to touch the victim while his heart rhythm is being analyzed.

Now things interesting...

At this point, one of two things can happen: 1) The AED will recommend shock or 2) the AED will NOT recommend shock - since there isn't a "shockable" rhythm.

Allow me to restate that: if the AED cannot find a shockable rhythm, the AED won't provide a shock. Rather, it will recommend the rescuer to "Begin CPR."

Did you know that in 57.4% of all SCA cirumstances NO shock will be recommended? This means that 57.4% of the time rescuers won't be able to "lean on" the AED to bail them out. Unless...the AED is equipped with CPR support.

When it comes to CPR support ZOLL Defibrillators are at the top of their class. ZOLL Defibrillators supply step-by-step voice prompts and visual screen displays to steer rescuers through the the steps of CPR.

This way, if the chest compressions you give are not deep enough, the ZOLL Defibrillator will instruct you to "press harder". Or, if your compressions are acceptable, the AED will respond "Good compressions". The ZOLL Defibrillator also comes with a beeping metronome to help pace you as you give chest compressions.

2. ZOLL Defibrillators are the most cost effective defibrillators available.

Simply put, you'll spend a bit more for a ZOLL Defibrillator up front. But, in the long run, you will spend less when when it is time to replace costly batteries and pads.

3. In a side-by-side comparison, run by Harvard University, they found that lay rescuers performed more precisely with a ZOLL Defibrillator than any other defibrillator.
