Real CPR Help
WARNING! The Real CPR Help function is fully functional only when using adult CPR electrodes.
Do not use Adult CPR electrodes with patients under 8 years of age.
WARNING! Use only Pediatric CPR electrodes with patients under 8 years of age. The use of
Pediatric CPR electrodes enables the R Series unit to display Idle Time and
Compression Rate and Depth measurements. Pediatric CPR electrodes do not enable
Real CPR voice prompts or any visual indication of ineffective CPR.
When used with OneStep CPR electrodes or OneStep Complete electrodes, the R Series unit
can provide rescuers with feedback about the quality of CPR they are delivering to their
patients. The way in which feedback is provided varies with respect to the operational mode
and user configuration, but is derived from compression rate and depth measurements.
When applied according to package instructions, ZOLL OneStep CPR and OneStep Complete
electrodes provide a chest compression sensor that is located between the rescuer’s hands and
the patient’s lower sternum. This sensor monitors the rate and depth of chest compressions and
sends this information to the R Series unit for processing and display.
The R Series defibrillator uses this information to provide feedback to the rescuer in one or
more of the following forms:
• CPR Index
Real CPR Help is defibrillation-proof Type BF equipment.
