▲DO NOT use or place the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit in service until you have

read the Fully Automatic AED Plus Operator’s and Administrator’s Guides.

▲DO NOT use or place the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit in service if the unit’s

status indicator window (located on the left side of the handle) displays a red “X”.

▲DO NOT use or place the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit in service if the unit emits

a beeping tone.

▲Connect the electrode cable to the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit after installing

batteries.

if patient is older than 8 years

▲Always stand clear of patient when delivering treatment. Defibrillation energy

delivered to the patient may be conducted through the patient’s body and cause a
lethal shock to those touching the patient.

▲DO NOT touch the electrode surfaces, the patient, or any conductive material

touching the patient during ECG analysis or defibrillation.

▲Move patient away from electrically conductive surfaces prior to use of equipment.
▲DO NOT use the unit near or within puddles of water.
▲Keep the patient as motionless as possible during ECG analysis.
▲DO NOT use the unit near flammable agents, such as gasoline, oxygen-rich

atmospheres, or flammable anesthetics.

▲Avoid radio frequency interference from high-power sources that might cause the

defibrillator to interpret cardiac rhythms incorrectly by turning off cell phones and
2-way radios.

▲Disconnect non-defibrillation protected electronic devices or equipment from

patient before defibrillation.

▲Dry victim’s chest, if wet, before attaching electrodes.
▲Apply freshly opened and undamaged electrodes, within the electrode expiration

date, to clean and dry skin to minimize burning.

▲DO NOT place electrodes directly over the patient’s implanted pacemaker.

Pacemaker stimuli may degrade the accuracy of ECG rhythm analyses or the
pacemaker may be damaged by defibrillator discharges.

▲Check labeling inside the ZOLL

Passive Airway Support System (PASS) device to ensure it is intended for this
use.

▲DO NOT use the Passive Airway Support System (PASS) if there is a suspected

head or neck injury. Place the patient on a firm surface before performing CPR.

▲DO NOT recharge, disassemble, or dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may

explode if mistreated.

▲DO NOT use or stack the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit with other equipment. If

the unit is used or stacked with other equipment, verify proper operation prior to
use.

Guide (P/N 9650-0311-01) for a list of recommended battery manufacturers.

▲If the device is stored outside the recommended environmental conditions, the

electrode pads and/or batteries may be damaged or their useful life reduced.

▲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 defibrillator.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

Use the AED when a suspected cardiac arrest victim has an apparent
LACK OF CIRCULATION indicated by:

■ Unconsciousness and

■ Absence of normal breathing and

■ Absence of a pulse or signs of circulation.

When a victim is less than 8 years of age, or weighs less than 55 lbs
(25 kg), the Fully Automatic AED Plus should be used with AED Plus
Pediatric Electrodes. Therapy should not be delayed to determine the
patient’s exact age or weight.

CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR USE INTENDED USER

Do NOT use when a patient:

■ Is conscious; or

■ Is breathing; or

■ Has a detectable pulse or other signs of circulation.

The ZOLL AED Plus Fully Automatic external defibrillator is intended to be
used by responders who have been trained and certified in CPR and the
use of an AED to defibrillate victims of cardiac arrest. The CPR monitoring
function provides a metronome designed to encourage rescuers to
perform chest compressions at the AHA recommended rate of 100
compressions per minute. Voice and visual prompts encourage a
minimum compression depth of 2 inches for adult patients. The CPR
monitoring function is not intended for use on patients under 8 years
of age.
