is to be used by responsible medical authorities in
conjunction with the
ZOLL AED Plus Operator’s Guide
(

The ZOLL AED Plus is to be used by trained rescuers to provide emergency defibrillation. It
incorporates a sequence of visual and voice prompts to help rescuers follow established AHA/ERC
Guidelines 2005 protocols for use of AEDs. It also incorporates recording/memory capabilities to
allow medical control authorities to review rescuer’s use of the device. Recording includes ECG
rhythms, event data, device identification, and optionally, voice recording of rescuer and ambient
sounds. This information is available via an upload capability to a personal computer for event review
and archiving.
Both the American Heart Association and the European Resuscitation Council publish extensive
information regarding the use of automated external defibrillators and their relationship to
cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The following publications provide supplemental material to be used
