ZOLL AED Plus Fully Automatic Defibrillator

Key Features of the ZOLL AED Plus Fully Automatic Defibrillator

Real-Time CPR Feedback with CPR-D-padz Sensor

The ZOLL AED Plus Fully Automatic Defibrillator features Real CPR Help technology, which provides real-time feedback on chest compression depth and rate via the integrated CPR puck sensor. Verbal cues such as "Push Harder" and "Good Compressions" guide both experienced and first-time rescuers toward optimal technique during a sudden cardiac arrest emergency, supporting the quality of CPR that research consistently links to better survival rates.

Intuitive One-Piece Electrode Design

The CPR-D-padz electrodes use a unique Z-shaped, one-piece design for fast and accurate pad placement. Clear placement illustrations and the integrated CPR puck reduce hesitation, enabling even untrained bystanders to respond quickly and correctly when every second counts. The device charges in under 10 seconds and delivers three escalating energy levels: 120J, 150J, and 200J  over successive shocks.

Fully Automatic Shock Delivery

The ZOLL AED Plus analyses the patient's heart rhythm and delivers a defibrillation shock automatically, no button press required. Spoken warnings such as "Stand Clear" keep bystanders safe throughout the process, making this AED suitable for use in any public access environment.

Rugged and Reliable - IP55 Rated

Built for demanding conditions, the ZOLL AED Plus Fully Automatic Defibrillator carries an IP55 rating for protection against dust and water ingress, and has been drop-tested from heights of up to 1.5 metres. Whether installed in a school, sports facility, or industrial workplace, it is engineered to perform reliably when needed most.

Automatic Self-Testing

The ZOLL AED Plus performs automatic self-tests at configurable intervals from 1 to 7 days (default: weekly), with a monthly full-energy test at 200J.A green checkmark on the status indicator confirms readiness; a red X signals that maintenance is required.

Low-Maintenance Consumables

Both the CPR-D-padz electrodes and the lithium battery pack carry a 5 year shelf life (from the date of manufacture), reducing the frequency and cost of consumable replacements. This makes the ZOLL AED Plus Fully Automatic one of the most cost-effective defibrillators available for long-term public access deployment.

Paediatric Capability with Pedi-padz II

When used alongside the optional Pedi-padz II electrodes, the ZOLL AED Plus automatically adjusts its energy output to deliver age appropriate treatment for children under 8 years old or weighing less than 25kg, with no manual configuration required by the rescuer.

Warranty Cover

Every ZOLL AED Plus Fully Automatic Defibrillator is backed by a 5 year manufacturer warranty, extendable to 7 years upon product registration. Defibstore customers also benefit from extended warranty options of up to 10 years for complete long-term peace of mind. You can also sign up for the annual On-site servicing programme.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of the ZOLL AED Plus Fully Automatic?

The primary benefit is removing hesitation. In a cardiac arrest, the biggest barrier to action is the fear of pressing the wrong button or making the wrong decision. The fully automatic system removes the critical decision entirely. Beyond that, Real CPR Help is the only AED technology that measures actual CPR depth and rate in real time and guides compressions with an audio metronome, not estimated feedback, but what is physically happening during each compression. The one-piece CPR-D-padz fits 99% of adult chest anatomies and self-positions correctly. The device is IP55-rated for outdoor and industrial environments, endorsed by the British Heart Foundation, and trusted by UK ambulance services and councils for public access defibrillator programmes.

What is the difference between the ZOLL AED Plus Fully Automatic and Semi-Automatic?

The core difference is how the shock is delivered. The Fully Automatic version detects a shockable heart rhythm and delivers the defibrillation shock on its own; the rescuer does not need to press any button. The device announces "Stand Clear," analyses the rhythm, and delivers the shock automatically after a countdown. The Semi-Automatic version analyses the rhythm in the same way, but instructs the rescuer to press a button to deliver the shock. This gives trained first aiders more control over the process. For environments where trained first aiders may not always be present, such as schools, community spaces, and public buildings, the fully automatic version is often preferred because it removes the need for any decision or button press during a high-stress emergency.

Is the ZOLL AED Plus recommended by the British Heart Foundation?

Yes. ZOLL is the nominated defibrillator supplier to the British Heart Foundation, making the AED Plus one of the most widely trusted and used AED models in the UK. It is also used by NHS ambulance services and community first responder groups nationwide.

Where can I buy replacement batteries for the ZOLL AED Plus?

As an authorised ZOLL distributor, Defibstore stocks the correct  ZOLL AED Plus replacement batteries. The ZOLL AED Plus uses a specific lithium battery configuration that is not available from high street or supermarket retailers. Standard Duracell D cells, including lithium variants, do not meet ZOLL's specification and will cause the device to fail its monthly self-test. Only batteries purchased from an authorised ZOLL distributor like Defibstore will maintain your device's compliance status. The ZOLL AED Plus also requires its ten batteries to be installed in a specific order. Incorrect installation causes a self-test failure. Our ZOLL AED Plus battery replacement guide walks you through the exact procedure.

Why is my ZOLL AED Plus beeping?

A beeping ZOLL AED Plus indicates the device requires immediate attention, typically a failed self-test caused by expired electrodes or a low battery charge. Replace any expired consumables promptly to restore readiness. If the issue persists, contact our defibrillator specialists on 01298 872 186. Defib Store also offers an annual on-site AED servicing programme that would include emergency call-out services in case there is an error. For more information, head to Defibrillator Servicing.

Can the ZOLL AED Plus Fully Automatic provide treatment for a child?

Yes, with Pedi-padz II electrodes, available separately, for children under 8 years old or under 25kg. The paediatric pads connect to the same port as the adult electrode, and the device automatically reduces the energy dose to a paediatric-appropriate level. Adult electrodes should not be used on small children. Many organisations purchase a set of paediatric pads alongside their ZOLL AED Plus; ask Defibstore about including these in your package.

The ZOLL Heroes for Life Programme

When Danny Burkett collapsed on the factory floor at his workplace in South Carolina, his colleague Scotty grabbed the ZOLL AED Plus on his way to help. Danny had no pulse. His face was purple. For 25 minutes, before the fire department arrived, while the ambulance was still en route, Scotty and his colleagues took turns delivering CPR, guided by the Real CPR Help metronome. "The metronome definitely helped us deliver CPR at the right pace," Scotty recalls. Danny survived.

ZOLL's Heroes for Life programme exists to recognise every bystander who steps up in a moment like that. When a cardiac arrest survivor agrees to share their story, ZOLL presents them with an AED to donate to a charity of their choice, survival paid forward. Read more save stories from the Heroes for Life programme →

Who Should Use the ZOLL AED Plus Fully Automatic Defibrillator?

The ZOLL AED Plus Fully Automatic is the right choice for any setting where a trained first aider may not always be the first person to reach someone in cardiac arrest. Because it delivers the shock without requiring a button press, it removes the single biggest barrier to action in a high-stress emergency: hesitation.

Offices, Warehouses, and Workplaces

For workplaces covered by PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations), maintaining a fully operational AED is part of your duty of care as an employer. The ZOLL AED Plus Fully Automatic is a popular defibrillator for workplace settings because its automatic shock delivery means it can be used effectively by any member of staff, not only designated first aiders. Its IP55 rating makes it suitable for warehouses, construction offices, and industrial environments where conditions may be dusty or damp.

Community Spaces and Public Access Locations

Village halls, community centres, places of worship, shopping centres, and transport hubs all benefit from a fully automatic AED because the device may be used by a bystander with no medical training whatsoever. The ZOLL AED Plus Fully Automatic gives clear visual and audio prompts at every step, guides placement of the one-piece CPR-D-padz electrode using anatomical diagrams, provides real-time verbal feedback on CPR quality, and delivers the shock automatically once a shockable rhythm is confirmed.

High-Footfall Retail and Hospitality Environments

Restaurants, hotels, airports, and retail stores see a wide range of customers at different ages and fitness levels. A cardiac arrest in these environments often happens with staff nearby who have no CPR training. For these settings, the ZOLL AED Plus Fully Automatic is the preferred choice because it requires no clinical decision-making from the operator; the device makes the decision, warns bystanders, and delivers the shock automatically.
