It will not only delivers a shock to the victim when needed it will also give the user voice prompts going through all the steps of CPR and reinforce resuscitation proceedure. You will also receive feedback to help you perform more efficiently.
The audio and visual prompts provide confidence to the responder, clarity in performance, and certainty in your actions. The Zoll AED Plus defibrillator even has a metronome to aid in rhythm and rate of compressions. The display will alert you to the correct depth of compressions.
Most AEDs have 2 electrodes attached to pads which are placed separately on the victim and are attached to the defibrillator. Zoll AED has a special onepiece pad and electrode which fits over the apropriate areas making it simpler to attach to the defibrillator and the victim.
The defibrillator also has special pads for children under 8 years. With these child/infant pads the defibrillator will adjust itself to give a shock apropriate to the child. Simplicity and technology at its best.

Defibtech defibrillator pads have a picture on their package showing how the pads are to be placed on a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) victim. One is placed next to the right shoulder and the other is placed below the right breast and halfway around the side to the back.
Philips defibrillator pads are also pictured and are placed the same. Children’s pads are placed on the front of the sternum and the other is directly on the middle of the back. Defibtech’s childrens’ pads are also placed that way.
Zoll has a one piece pad which is placed over the sternum and the tail pieces fall in the correct positions. Their pediatric defibrillator pads are 2 piece with pictures for correct positioning. They also are placed one on front and one on back.
