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 Fully Automatic AED Plus should be used with 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 Fully Automatic external defibrillator is intended to be
used by responders who have been trained and certified in CPR and the
use of an AED 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.
