• The CPR-D Padz Electrode can be connected to other ZOLL Defibrillators with Multifunction
Cables. Defibrillation can be administered when connected to other ZOLL Defibrillators. The CPR
function does not operate with any device other than the AED PLUS.

Indications for Use

Use the AED when a suspected cardiac arrest victim has an apparent LACK OF CIRCULATION as
indicated by:
• Unconsciousness and
• Absence of normal breathing; and
• Absence of a pulse or signs of circulation.

The ZOLL AED PLUS external defibrillator is intended to be used by personnel who are qualified by
training in the use of the AED PLUS, basic life support, or advanced life support, or other physician-
authorized emergency medical response to defibrillate victims of cardiac arrest. The CPR monitoring
function provides a metronome designed to encourage rescuers to perform chest compressions at the
AHA/ERC recommended rate of 100 compressions per minute. Voice and visual prompts encourage a
compression depth of 1½ - 2 inches for adult patients.
