ECG analysis. Some versions of the Fully Automatic AED Plus include a cover that can also be used as a PASS (Passive Airway Support System) to support the victim’s neck and shoulders in a position that assists in maintaining an open airway.
The metronome beeps at a minimum rate of 60 CPM in cases where the rescuer’s compression rate is substantially below 60 CPM. During CPR, the Fully Automatic AED Plus may issue one or more audible prompts based on the depth of chest compressions detected. When Real CPR Help determines that compression depth is consistently less than 5 cm, a PUSH HARDER prompt will be issued.

Provides a communications link between the defibrillator and a personal computer or another IrDA equipped device. PASS Cover Some Fully Automatic AED Plus models include a cover that may be used as (optional) a shoulder support to aid victim airway management. The PASS can be ordered separately for other Fully Automatic AED Plus models (see “Ordering Accessories”...
Using the Fully Automatic AED Plus Graphical User Interface The Fully Automatic AED Plus graphical user interface (see Figure 2) is visible on the top of the unit when the cover is removed. The pictograms are reminders of the steps to follow when performing a rescue and reinforce instructions provided through voice prompts and optional display messages.
Consult the Fully Automatic AED Plus Operator’s Guide for more details on the graphics included in the unit’s graphic interface, the audio prompts issued at each step in the treatment protocol and the rescuer action associated with these audio and visual prompts.

WARNING! DO NOT use adult electrode pads or CPR-D-padz on victims under 8 years of age. The Fully Automatic AED Plus uses electrode packs that are connected to the unit by a cable. The package contains electrodes that you attach to the victim.
Make certain that the CPR sensor maintains a position over the lower half of the breastbone. ® 0123 ® ZOLL Medical Corporation 269 Mill Road Chelmsford, MA 01824-4105 USA 978-421-9655 Figure 5: Placement of CPR-D-padz Fully Automatic AED Plus Administrator’s Guide...
6. Roll the victim onto his/her back and follow the Fully Automatic AED Plus prompts. NOTE The pedi-padz II (infant/child electrodes) can also be used with ZOLL pacemaker products for up to one hour of pacing (see the M Series Operator’s Guide for information about pacing).
Shortly after you stop chest compressions to deliver rescue breaths the metronome will stop beeping. NOTE If the Fully Automatic AED Plus prompts you to PUSH HARDER, your compressions are less than 5 cm deep. Increase your compression depth to improve CPR performance.
Fully Automatic AED Plus cover. NOTE If the electrodes are not connected to the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit, the device will fail the self test and display a red “X” in the status indicator window.
6. Audio Circuitry: Verifies that voice prompts are functional. At the end of this self test, the Fully Automatic AED Plus prompts the user to press the Battery Reset Button, located inside the battery compartment. Pressing this button resets the unit’s battery usage indicator to full charge.
7. Audio Circuitry: Verifies that voice prompts are functional. Manual Self Test You can initiate a manual self test on the Fully Automatic AED Plus by pressing and holding the unit’s On/Off button for 5 seconds. The Fully Automatic AED Plus illuminates all graphic indicators and issues voice and LCD display messages to allow user verification of the device’s visual and auditory...
Automatic Self Test By default, the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit performs an automatic self test once every 7 days (this interval can be configured to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 days) when the unit is stored with batteries installed.
Page 29
The date code is MMYY. To install the batteries: 1. Ensure that the Fully Automatic AED Plus is turned off. Open the battery compartment by removing the battery cover from the back of the unit. To remove the battery cover, insert a small tool (e.g., flat blade screw driver) into the two slots on the rear of the unit to depress the latches, then insert the tool into the groove on the bottom to lift the cover (see Figure 7).

Cleaning the Fully Automatic AED Plus • After each use, clean and disinfect the Fully Automatic AED Plus with a soft, damp cloth using 90% isopropyl alcohol, or soap and water, or chlorine bleach and water mixture (30 ml/liter water).
(and displays the message if equipped with an LCD). • If the Fully Automatic AED Plus has an LCD, the message “SHOCKS: 0” appears in the upper left corner and the elapsed time (since power-up) appears in the upper right corner of the screen.
Troubleshooting The following table summarizes common error indications on the Fully Automatic AED Plus, and their associated corrective action. Return the Fully Automatic AED Plus to ZOLL’s Technical Service Department if the Fully Automatic AED Plus is not working properly.
• Purchase Order or credit card number for a unit with an expired warranty. If you need to send the Fully Automatic AED Plus to ZOLL Medical Corporation, obtain a service order request number from the Technical Service representative. Fully Automatic AED Plus units are available on loan at an additional cost while your Fully Automatic AED Plus is being repaired.
IrDA (infrared interface standard) ports. One IrDA port is located on the side of the Fully Automatic AED Plus. The second IrDA port may be on your personal computer. In some cases, you will be sending data from the IrDA port on your Fully Automatic AED Plus to an IrDA port on a modem which then transmits the data to a remote computer.

Clinical Trial Results for the M Series Biphasic Waveform The efficacy of ZOLL’s Rectilinear Biphasic Waveform has been clinically verified during a study of defibrillation of Ventricular Fibrillation (VF)/Ventricular Tachycardia (VT). A feasibility study was performed initially for defibrillation of VF/VT (n=20) on two separate groups of patients to ensure waveform safety and energy selection.
