The Zoll R Series ALS Monitor Defibrillator, the world's first Code-Ready® defibrillator, is an affordable, customizable, advanced resuscitation device recommended for use in hospitals. When seconds count in life-and-death situations, it is imperative to have a defibrillator that is always ready and simple to use. In addition to high-quality defibrillation, the R Series provides Real CPR Help® and See-Thru CPR to ensure that critical CPR is given correctly for optimal resuscitation efforts.

CPR Assistance

Real CPR Help® coaches responders to perform CPR correctly with real-time feedback, prompting users to begin compressions, push harder, and continue CPR, along with messages confirming that the CPR is being done effectively. It displays compression depth, compression rate, and lapse time indicators to ensure that CPR is consistent, properly timed, and deep enough; it also combines all three compression functions into the CPR Index™, one visual indicator that allows users to view the quality of their CPR efforts and adjust as necessary. Audio prompting urges users to "push harder" and "continue CPR," and exhorts "good compressions" when CPR is done correctly. The monitor is also capable of transmitting CPR data for review and playback of resuscitation efforts.

CPR is frequently interrupted unnecessarily to determine if a viable heart rhythm has developed. This cuts down on valuable lifesaving CPR time. See-Thru CPR allows responders to see heart rhythm in real time while performing CPR without stopping. It displays a filtered signal by separating the underlying heart rhythm from compression artifact so that rescuers don't have to stop multiple times in order to check if a shockable rhythm has been established.

Defibrillator features

The R Series defibrillator is always code-ready, performing automatic self-checks daily to ensure that it is always ready when needed; it even tests electrode quality and detects expired electrodes. All R Series units are equipped with an Analyze switch to provide rescuers with a "second opinion." They also feature a pediatric analysis algorithm, activated with the connection of OneStep™ pediatric cables (sold separately) for safe use on children. The R Series includes a built-in Defib Mentor™ for training and familiarity tutorials to refresh users' memories for proper use.

The unit utilizes rectilinear biphasic technology for superior performance with less energy use. Contrary to popular belief, defibrillators with higher energy settings are not more capable than others. The rectilinear biphasic waveform has shown superior results in defibrillation at 200 J (compared with the average 360 J of other biphasic waveforms), delivering the right amount of average current over the optimal duration to high impedance patients.

The defibrillator is powered by integrated 120V/60Hz AC power and is compatible with a 5.8 Ah lithium ion battery pack (sold separately) for portability. It includes a built-in test port and compact flash card slot and is guaranteed for 5 years for product quality assurance and peace of mind.
