Chapter 1 Overview The ZOLL AED 3 defibrillator is an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) that is designed to be used for both adult and child victims of sudden cardiac arrest. The AED uses audio and visual prompts to guide the rescuer through a resuscitation sequence that may include defibrillation and/or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The ZOLL AED 3 defibrillator has a liquid crystal display (LCD) touch screen and uses detachable defibrillation pads. The defibrillation pads include an intelligent CPR sensor that allows the AED to monitor chest compressions and provide feedback during CPR. This guide contains instructions for all ZOLL AED 3 models: • ZOLL AED 3 - Operates in Semi-Automatic Mode. Includes lay rescuer prompts and graphics, and Real CPR Help® for CPR monitoring and feedback. • ZOLL AED 3 Automatic - Operates in Fully Automatic Mode. Includes lay rescuer prompts and graphics, and Real CPR Help for CPR monitoring and feedback. • ZOLL AED 3 BLS - Operates in Semi-Automatic Mode. Includes Real CPR Help for CPR monitoring and feedback, optional patient ECG display, CPR Dashboard, optional lay rescuer graphics, and optional audio recording.

ZOLL AED 3 Administrator’s Guide

When the rescuer attaches defibrillation pads to a patient’s chest, the AED monitors and analyzes the electrocardiographic (ECG) rhythm of the patient’s heart to determine whether or not the ECG rhythm is shockable. If the AED detects a shockable rhythm, it either issues instructions to deliver the shock (semi-automatic) or automatically delivers the shock (fully automatic). The ZOLL AED 3 defibrillator then prompts the rescuer to perform CPR for a period of time (configured by the AED Administrator), after which the AED automatically initiates a new ECG analysis.
ZOLL AED 3 User Interface The ZOLL AED 3 defibrillator has a Status Indicator that allows you to quickly see if it has passed its last self test and is ready for use. An LCD screen in the center of the front panel provides text prompts, rescue graphics, and incident information. The AED defibrillator provides audio prompts through a speaker located on the front of the AED. The front panel of the AED has an On/Off button on the top left side of the device and a Shock button beneath the LCD screen. It also has a Child button for patients that are less than 8 years old or weigh less than 55 pounds (25 kg). The ZOLL AED 3 defibrillator has two operating modes: AED Management Mode and Rescue Mode. In AED Management Mode, the icons on the touch screen allow you to change configuration settings and upload clinical archives, device history, and configuration files. There is also a Supervisor menu for advanced users to make more complex changes to the AED, such as device configuration, shock settings, and CPR settings. In Rescue Mode, the LCD screen displays graphics that are coordinated with audio prompts to guide the rescuer through the necessary steps to perform a rescue. The steps that include graphics and audio prompts are defined by local protocols for use of an AED.
Child Mode The ZOLL AED 3 defibrillator has a Child mode that can be enabled in two ways: when the rescuer uses ZOLL CPR Uni-padzTM defibrillation pads and presses the Child button, or when the rescuer uses ZOLL Pedi-padz® II defibrillation pads. In this mode, the AED uses configured pediatric energy settings that are lower doses of energy than those used for adults. The ZOLL AED 3 defibrillator also uses a pediatric AED analysis algorithm that is specifically designed for a child’s ECG. This algorithm accurately distinguishes shockable versus non-shockable rhythms in the pediatric patient.
Real CPR Help The ZOLL AED 3 CPR Uni-padz defibrillation pads include a sensor that detects the rate and depth of chest compressions. This sensor is part of the defibrillation pads that the rescuer places on the patient’s chest, and must be located between

ZOLL AED 3 Administrator’s Guide
9650-000752-12 Rev. M
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. WARNING! Real CPR Help audio prompts are not enabled in Child mode.
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 the value of the Good CPR Depth Indication setting, the AED issues a PUSH HARDER prompt. The AED issues a GOOD COMPRESSIONS prompt if the rescuer responds by increasing compression depth to the value of the Good CPR Depth Indication setting or more.
Using Defibrillation Pads The ZOLL AED 3 defibrillator is compatible with the following adult and child defibrillation pads:
• • • • • • •
CPR Uni-padz (for adults and children)
•
OneStep Pediatric Electrodes with Green Connector
CPR-D-padz® (for adults only) CPR Stat-padz® (for adults only) Stat-padz II (for adults only) Pedi-padz II (for children only) OneStep Basic Electrodes with Green Connector
OneStep CPR A/A Electrodes with Green Connector
Make sure that the defibrillation pads used are appropriate for the patient. NOTE When using CPR Uni-padz with a child patient, the rescuer must press the Child button. NOTE When using Pedi-padz II, the Child button automatically lights up. NOTE Lay rescuer graphics are only displayed when using CPR Uni-padz. The CPR Uni-padz package is connected to the AED by a cable. The package contains defibrillation pads that the rescuer attaches to the patient. The pad package includes scissors for cutting clothing or chest hair off the patient. If the defibrillation pads cable is not attached properly, the AED issues the PLUG IN PADS CABLE prompt. Make certain to connect the defibrillation pad cable to the ZOLL AED 3 defibrillator and attach the pads to the patient properly. WARNING! Defibrillation pads must be pre-attached to the device. Keep the defibrillation pad cable connected to the AED at all times.

NOTE Defibrillation pads contain no hazardous materials and may be disposed of in general trash unless contaminated with pathogens. If contaminated, appropriate precautions should be used in their disposal. WARNING! DO NOT reuse defibrillation pads.
Data Recording and Storage All ZOLL AED 3 models can record and store up to 120 minutes of continuous ECG/audio and clinical event data during a rescue or patient case. See “Data and Audio Recording” on page 14 for more detailed information about this function.
Post Event Analysis All ZOLL AED 3 models automatically store patient clinical data and device history in long-term memory.
• Patient clinical data (clinical archives) - Includes date and time notation that you can view and analyze using ZOLL’s clinical review software products.
• Device history - A log of device status information that you can view and analyze. You can transfer this file over Wi-Fi (if installed) or upload it using a USB flash drive.
Transferring Files Using a USB Flash Drive All ZOLL AED 3 models have a USB port that allows you to export and save configuration settings, clinical archives, and device history to a USB flash drive. This feature allows you to easily copy a configuration from one AED to other AEDs. The USB port also allows you to import new system software to quickly upgrade the AED.
Wi-Fi Communication Some ZOLL AED 3 models have wireless communication that provides automatic upload of self-test reports and on-demand transfer of patient clinical archives and device history information through a wireless access point.
