Intended purpose
The intended purpose of the ZOLL AED 3 Semi-Automatic Defibrillator is to help victims of sudden cardiac arrest. Using compatible electrodes which connect the patient to the ZOLL AED 3, the device automatically analyzes the victim’s ECG rhythm to determine whether an electrical shock should be delivered. If the device detects a shockable rhythm, it alerts the rescuer that a shock is advised, and issues instructions to press the flashing shock button. The AED then prompts the rescuer to perform CPR for a pre-configured period of time.
Functional description
The ZOLL AED 3 Semi-Automatic model functions in semi-automatic mode where the rescuer initiates the shock. It has a liquid crystal display (LCD) touch screen and uses detachable defibrillation pads. The defibrillation pads include an intelligent CPR sensor that allows the AED to monitor chest compressions and provide feedback during CPR. Includes lay rescuer prompts and graphics and Real CPR Help for CPR monitoring and feedback.
