Enhanced Real CPR Help®
When seconds count, the ZOLL AED 3 guides rescuers with:
- Full-colour images on a bright LCD display
- Voice and text prompts for step-by-step support
- CPR cycle timer and metronome for correct rhythm
- Real-time feedback (“Push harder” or “Good compressions”) to ensure effective CPR
This makes it easier for cabin crew and passengers alike to deliver life-saving care, even with no prior medical training.
RapidShock™ Analysis: Faster Time to Shock
The ZOLL AED 3 Aviation minimises pauses in CPR with its RapidShock analysis. This means:
- Less than 5 seconds pre-shock pause (semi-automatic mode)
- More continuous CPR for better patient outcomes
- Improved chance of survival as recommended by the Resuscitation Council UK and AHA guidelines
