your hands and the patient's lower sternum. When the rescuer performs CPR
compressions, the sensor detects the rate and depth and sends the information
to the AED. The ZOLL AED 3 defibrillator includes a CPR audio metronome
function designed to encourage the rescuer to perform chest compressions at
the AHA/ERC/ILCOR recommended minimum rate of at least 100 compressions
per minute (CPM). The AED performs CPR monitoring, prompts the rescuer, and
records chest compressions in the clinical patient file.

When performing CPR on adult patients, the ZOLL AED 3 defibrillator may issue
one or more audible prompts based on the depth of chest compressions
detected. If Real CPR Help determines that compression depth is consistently
less than 5 centimeters, the AED issues a PUSH HARDER prompt. The AED issues
a GOOD COMPRESSIONS prompt if the rescuer responds by increasing
compression depth to 5 centimeters or more.
