ZOLL’s Portfolio of Unsurpassed CPR Support
ZOLL’s commitment to high-quality CPR is evident in the company’s suite of technology products for optimal resuscitation response. Virtually all ZOLL defibrillators, from AEDs to professional manual defibrillators, feature Real CPR Help®, the only CPR-feedback technology that has been shown to impact survival-to-discharge, as demonstrated in published research.1
In addition, See-Thru CPR®, ZOLL’s proprietary technology, which minimizes the duration of pauses in CPR to enable rescuers to see an organized, underlying rhythm, is available on the R Series®, the X Series®, and the AED Pro®.
Product highlights among ZOLL’s resuscitation portfolio include the R Series® family of monitor/defibrillators for hospitals, the X Series® Monitor/Defibrillator for emergency medicine and critical care patient transport, the AutoPulse® Resuscitation System, ZOLL’s automated CPR device, the LifeBridge® Emergency Cardiac Life Support System,* and the company’s Thermogard XP® Temperature Management System. A new addition to ZOLL’s portfolio is the ResQPOD® ITD, an impedance threshold device (ITD) that enhances perfusion during CPR.
ZOLL’s products are in compliance with the new 2015 ERC and American Heart Association Guidelines.
Lunchtime Symposium: “Debugging Resuscitation—The Tools Are Available Today”
ZOLL, a principal sponsor and business partner of the ERC, will host a lunchtime symposium from 12:45 p.m. to 13:45 p.m., Friday, 30 October in Panorama Hall at the Prague Congress Centre.
