14 ZOLL AED PLUS Administrator’s Guide
Using the CPR Monitoring Function -- Real CPR Help
When used with ZOLL CPR-D padz, the ZOLL AED Plus monitors the rate and depth of CPR chest
compressions. The ZOLL AED Plus provides a CPR metronome function designed to encourage
rescuers to perform chest compressions at the AHA/ERC recommended rate of 100 compressions per
minute. Voice and visual prompts encourage a compression depth of 1 ½ - 2 inches for adult patients.
The CPR monitoring function operates only when CPR-D padz are used, and is intended for use on adult
patients only.
To use the ZOLL AED Plus CPR monitoring function you must do the following:
1. Connect CPR-D padz to the ZOLL AED Plus unit.
2. Apply the CPR-D padz to the patient as described in the previous section
Ensure that the CPR sensor is centered on the lower half of the patient’s sternum.
3. If no signs of circulation are present when the ZOLL AED Plus issues the START CPR prompt,
place your hands on top of the CPR sensor and push on the sensor to deliver chest compressions to
the patient.
After your first few compressions, the ZOLL AED Plus metronome will begin issuing timing
beeps. Try to maintain synchronization between these beeps and your chest compressions. Shortly
after you stop chest compressions to deliver rescue breaths the metronome will stop beeping.
NOTE If the ZOLL AED Plus prompts you to PUSH HARDER , your compressions are less than 1½ inches deep.
Increase your compression depth to improve CPR performance.
4. Deliver the appropriate number of rescue breaths then resume chest compressions. The metronome
will begin to beep again after your first few compressions have been delivered.
Using the Audio Recording Option
If installed and configured, the unit contains an audio recording option that records and stores
20 minutes of continuous audio and clinical event data during a rescue. (The unit records and stores at
least 7 hours of clinical event data if the audio recording option is disabled.) The recorded audio data is
synchronized to the clinical event data. The audio recording starts when the unit issues the
STAY CALM
prompt.
NOTE The unit allows for up to 3 minutes of audio recording prior to electrode attachment. When you turn the
unit off, the first indicator light (LED) on the graphical user interface illuminates and the second indicator
light (LED) flashes intermittently while the unit stores the data in memory.
Whenever the device detects a clinical event in rescue mode, the unit deletes previously stored data
(ECG, Audio and Event) from memory before data for the current rescue is recorded. Overwriting of
old ECG, audio and event data begins 10 seconds after the electrodes are properly connected to the
patient. However, if the unit is started in Non-rescue Mode, the recorded data of the last rescue is
retained and may be uploaded to a data storage or archiving system.
