ZOLL AED Plus Rev P - Manual (Page 2)

Use the AED when a suspected cardiac arrest victim has an apparent
LACK OF CIRCULATION indicated by:
■ Unconsciousness and
■ Absence of normal breathing and
■ Absence of a pulse or signs of circulation.
When a victim is less than 8 years of age, or weighs less than 55 lbs
(25 kg), the ZOLL AED Plus should be used with ZOLL AED Plus
Pediatric Electrodes. Therapy should not be delayed to determine the
patient’s exact age or weight.
Do NOT use when a patient:
■ Is conscious; or
■ Is breathing; or
■ Has a detectable pulse or other signs of circulation.
The ZOLL AED Plus external defibrillator is intended to be used by
personnel who are qualified by training in the use of the AED Plus device
and basic life support, advanced life support, or other physician-
authorized emergency medical response to defibrillate victims of cardiac
arrest. The CPR monitoring function provides a metronome designed to
encourage rescuers to perform chest compressions at the AHA
recommended rate of 100 compressions per minute. Voice and visual
prompts encourage a minimum compression depth of 2 inches for adult
patients. The CPR monitoring function is not intended for use on patients
under 8 years of age.
