Safety Considerations
All operators should review these safety considerations before placing the AED Pro unit into
service.
These operating instructions describe the functions and proper operation of the AED Pro unit.
This manual does not substitute for a formal training course. Operators must obtain formal
training from an appropriate authority before using this device for patient care.
Follow all recommended maintenance instructions. If a problem occurs, obtain service
immediately. Do not use the device until it has been inspected by appropriate perso nn el.
Do not disassemble the unit. A shock hazard exists. Refer all problems to authorized service
personnel.
The AED Pro unit is capable of delivering 20 0 joules. To completely deactivate the unit, turn it
off and remove the battery pack.
To manually disarm a charged (or charging) defibrillator, do one of the following:
• Turn the unit off for at least 3 seconds.
• Press the DISARM softkey (manual mode only).
For safety, the AED P ro unit automatically disarms a fully charged defibrillator after
60 seconds in manual mode or 30 seconds in semiautomatic mode if the Shock button is not
pressed.
Safety Considerations
General
Federal (U.S.A.) law restricts this device to use by or on the order of a physician.
Proper operation of the unit and correct electrode placement are critical to obtaining optimal
results. Operators must be thoroughly familiar with proper device operation.
The use of external defibrillation electrodes or adapter devices from sources other than ZOLL
is not recommended. ZOLL Medical Corporation makes no representations or warranties
regarding the performance or effectiveness of its products when used with defibrillation
electrodes or adapter devices from other sources. Device failures attributable to the use of
defibrillation electrodes or adapters not manufactured by ZOLL might void the warranty on the
ZOLL equipment.
This device is protected against interference from radio frequency emissions typical of the
two-way radios and cellular phones (digital and analog) used in emergency service or public
safety activities. You should assess the device’s performance in your typical operating
environment to determine the like lihood of radio frequency interference (RFI) from high-power
sources. Radio frequency interference can cause shifts in the monitor baseline, trace
compression, changes to brightness of the display, or transient spikes on the screen.
The AED Pro unit might not perform to specifications when stor ed at the upper or lower
extreme limits of storage temperature and then immediately put into use.
Do not use or stack the unit with other equipment. If the unit is used or stacked with other
electrical equipment, verify proper operation before using it.
Do not use or place the unit in service if it beeps while turned off.
The use of accessories or cables other than those specified in this manual may result in
increased emissions or decreased immunity of the AED Pro.
9650-0350-01 Rev. J ZOLL AED Pro Operator’s Guide vii
PREFACE
Do not use or place the unit in service if the Ready indicator (at the upper righ t of the front
panel) shows a red “X”.
Defibrillation
Emergency defibrillation should be performed only by appropriately trained, skilled personnel
who are familiar with the operation of the equipment. The prescribing physician should
determine what training, such as Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) or Basic Life Support
(BLS) certification, is appropriate for operating this device.
ECG analysis
A patient must be motionless during ECG analysis. Do not touch the patient during analysis.
Cease all patient movement by stretcher or vehicle before beginning ECG analysis in
semiautomatic mode.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
Before performing CPR, place the patient on a firm surface.
Battery care
Keep a fully charged spare battery pack with the device at all times.
When the unit displays the message CHANGE BATTERY, immediately repl ace the battery pack
with a fully charged one.
Regular use of a partially charged battery pack without fully recharging it between uses might
permanently reduce the battery’s capacity and result in early failure.
Regularly test rechargeable battery packs. A rechargeable battery pack that does not pass its test
could fail without warning.
Do not disassemble a battery pack or dispose of it in fire. Do not try to recharge a
nonrechargeable battery pack. If mistreated, a battery pack might explode.
Dispose of battery packs in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. Battery packs
should be shipped to a reclamation facility for recovery of metal and plastic compounds as the
proper method of waste management.
Operator Safety
Do not use the unit near oxygen-rich atmospheres, flammable anesthetics, or other flammable
agents (such as gasoline).
Do not use the unit within standing water.
Before discharging the defibrillator, warn everyone to stand clear of the patient.
Do not discharge the defibrillator except as indicated in the instructions. Discharge the
defibrillator only when defibrillation pads are properly attached to the patient. Never discharge
the unit with the defibrillation pads shorted together or in open air.
viii www.zoll.com 9650-0350-01 Rev. J
Safety Considerations
Electrical shock
Before defibrillation, be sure to disconne ct from the patient all el ectromedical equi pment that is
not defibrillation-protected. Keep electrodes away from all other equipment attached to the
patient and from metal objects in contact with the patient.
During defibrillation, do not touch the bed, the patient, conductive material, or any equipment
connected to the patient; a severe shock can result. To avoid hazardous pathways for the
defibrillation current, do not allow exposed portions of the patient’s body to touch any metal
objects, such as a bed frame.
Accessory equipment
The use of accessory equipment that does not comply with the equivalent safety requirements
of the AED Pro device could reduce the level of safety of the resulting system. When selecting
accessory equipment, consider the following:
• Use of the accessory in the patient vicinity
• Evidence that the safety certification of the accessory has been performed in accordance
with the appropriate IEC (EN) 60601-1 and/or IEC (EN) 60601-1-1 harmonized national
standards.
Patient Safety
The AED Pro unit detects ECG electrical signals only and does not detect a pulse (effective
circulatory perfusion). Always verify pulse and heart rate by physical assessment of the patient.
Never assume that the display of a nonzero heart rate means that the pat ient has a pulse.
ECG rhythm analysis does not warn of patient asystole, which is not a shockable rhythm.
Do not connect the AED Pro to a PC or other device (via the USB port) while the unit’s
electrodes are still connected to the patient.
Disconnect the AED Pro from the patient before performing defibrillation with another
defibrillator.
If the AED Pro shuts down or malfunctions during defibrillation of the patient with a different
defibrillator, turn the AED Pro unit off and then back on, and continue normal use.
Check electrical leakage levels before use. Leakage current might be excessive if more than one
monitor or other piece of equipment is connected to the patient.
Do not use this equipment in the presence of electrosurgery.
Defibrillation pads and ECG electrodes
Check the expiration date on the electrode packaging. Do not use electrodes that have passed
their expiration date.
Do not use defibrillation pads or ECG electrodes if the gel is dried or damaged; patient burns or
poor quality ECG signals might result from using such electrodes.
Poor adherence or air pockets under defibrillation pads can cause arcing, skin burns, or reduced
energy delivery . To minimize burning, apply freshly opened and undamaged defibrillation pads
to clean and dry skin. Excessive body hair or wet, diaphoretic skin can inhibit electrode pad
coupling (contact) with the skin. Clip excess hair and dry any moisture from the area where an
electrode pad is to be attached.

PREFACE
Cautions
To prepare for an emergency, keep the de fibril la tio n electrode cable connected to the unit at all
times, even when the unit is not in use.
Use only high-quality ECG electrodes. ECG electrodes are for mo nitoring only; you cannot use
ECG electrodes for defibrillation.
Implanted pacemakers
Do not place electrodes directly over an implanted pacemaker. Implanted pacemakers might
cause the heart rate meter or ECG rhythm analysis to count the pacemaker rate during incidents
of cardiac arrest or other arrhythmia. Carefully observe pacemaker patients. Check the patient’s
pulse; do not rely solely on heart rate meters. Patient history and physical examination are
important factors in determining the presence of an implanted pacemaker.
Do not sterilize the device or the ECG monitoring cable.
Do not immerse any part of the device into water.
Do not use ketones (such as MEK or acetone) on the device.
Avoid using abrasives (including paper towels) on the display screen and IrDA port.
Restarting the Device
Certain events require a restart of the AED Pro unit after it shuts off, encounters an error, or
becomes inoperative. If such an event occurs, always try to restore device operatio n as follow s
before seeking alternative methods of patient monitoring or treatment:
1. Press and hold the On/Off button for 1 second to turn the unit off.
2. After the unit has shut down, wait at least 3 seconds.
3. Press and release the On/Off button to restart the unit.

Equipment
Before unpacking the AED Pro unit, carefully inspect each shipping container for damage. If
the container or cushioning material is damaged, keep it until you have checked the contents for
completeness, and the unit has been tested for mechanical and electrical integrity.
Examine the unit for any signs of damage that might have occurred during sh ipping. Review
the shipping list to ensure that you received all ordered items. If the contents are incomplete, if
there is mechanical damage, or if the device does not pass its electrical self-test (as indi cated by
a red “X” in the Ready indicator after battery installation), conta ct the ZOLL Technical Service
Department or the nearest ZOLL authorized representative. If the shipping container is
damaged, notify the carrier also.

PREFACE
Intended Use
The AED Pro unit is intended to defibrillate victims of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless
ventricular tachycardia, for ECG monitoring, and for CPR monitoring of patients. The CPR
monitoring function provides a metronome designed to encourage rescuers to perform ch est
compressions at the AHA/ERC recommended rate of 100 compressions per minute. Voice and
visual prompts encourage a compression depth of at least 2 inches (5 cm) for adult patients.
Indications for Use
Use of the device for defibrillation is indicated on victims of cardiac arrest with apparent
lack of circulation as indicated by
• Unconsciousness
• Absence of breathing, and
• Absence of pulse and other signs of circulation.
When the victim is less than 8 years old or weighs less than 55 lb. (25 kg), use ZOLL
pedi•padz® II pediatric defibrillation electrodes. Do not delay therapy to determine the
patient’s exact age or weight.
The device is also intended for use when ECG monitoring is indicated to evaluate the patient’s
heart rate or ECG morphology.
Contraindications for Use
Defibrillation
Never use the AED Pro unit for defibrillation when the patient
• Is conscious
• Is breathing, or
• Has a detectable pulse or other sign of circulation.
CPR Monitoring
The CPR monitoring function is not intended for use on patients under 8 years of age.
Intended Users
In semiautomatic mode, the AED Pro unit is intended to be used by rescuers and emergency
care personnel who have completed training and certification requirements applicable to the
use of a defibrillator where the operator controls delivery of shocks to the patient.
In manual mode, the AED Pro unit is intended to be used only by qualified medical personnel
trained in Advanced Life Support skills.
In ECG monitoring mode, the AED Pro unit is intended to be used by personnel wh o are
qualified by training in the use of the AED Pro device, basic life and/or advanced life support,
or other physician-authorized emergency medical trainin g.
xvi www.zoll.com 9650-0350-01 Rev. J
Defibrillator Precautions
Inappropriate defibrillation of a patient (for example, with no malignant arrhythmia) can
precipitate ventricular fibrillation, asystole, or other dangerous types of arrhythmia.
Without proper application of electrode pads, defibrillation might be ineffective and cause
burns, particularly when repeated shocks are necessary. Erythema or hyperemia of the skin
under the defibrillation pads often occurs. This reddening effect, often enhanced along the
perimeter of the pad, should diminish substantially within 72 hours.
Defibrillator output energy
The AED Pro unit can deliver as much as 200 joules into a 50 ohm impedance. The energy
delivered through the chest wall, however, is determined by the patient’s transthoracic
impedance.

CHAPTER 1PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Defibrillation
The AED Pro unit uses the ZOLL Rectilinear Biphasic™ waveform and ZOLL single-use
defibrillation electrode pads for defibrillation.
Escalating energy levels for the first three shocks are preconfigured into the unit for adult and
pediatric patients. (The unit selects the appropriat e levels by detecting the type of defibrillation
electrode pads in use.) After the first three shocks, all subsequent shocks are delivered at the
same energy as the third shock.
The factory default energy levels in joules are as follows:
First shock Second shock Third shock
Adult 120 150 200
Pediatric 50 70 85
For more information, refer to Appendix C, “Configurable Settings”.
Defibrillation Modes
The AED Pro unit can be manufactured to run in one of three defibrillation modes:
• Semiautomatic Mode Defibrillation with CPR Monitoring
• Manual Mode Defibrillation
• Semiautomatic Mode Defibrillation with CPR Monitoring and Manual Mode Override
Semiautomatic Mode Defibrillation and CPR Monitoring
When the AED Pro unit is configured to run in semiautomatic mode or semiautomatic mode
with manual mode override, the unit starts up in semiautomatic mode unless an AED Pro ECG
cable is attached to the unit.
In semiautomatic mode, the unit analyzes the patient’s ECG through the d efibrillation el ectrode
pads attached to the patient. If the unit detects a shockable rhythm, it automatically charges to
the appropriate (preconfigured) energy level. Once the defibrillator is fully charged, the Shock
button begins flashing. The unit also emits a charge-ready tone, and directs the rescuer to press
the Shock button to deliver therap y. In semiautomatic mode, the rescuer must deliver the shock
within 30 seconds of full charge, otherwise the defibrillator automatically disarms itself, and
the unit resumes ECG analysis.
After delivering a shock, the unit continues analyzin g the patient’s ECG, guiding the rescuer to
perform CPR or to deliver additional shocks, if needed.
®
The unit also provides CPR monitoring if ZOLL CPR-D•padz
defibrillation electrodes are attached. CPR-D•padz and CPR stat•padz include a sensor to
monitor the rescuer’s chest compression rate and depth. The compression data enables the unit
to guide the rescuer to perform effective CPR. The unit can be preconfigured to prompt the
rescuer to perform a period of CPR before the first ECG analysis cycle begins.
or CPR stat•padz
®
For more information, refer to Chapter 3, “Semiautomatic Mode”.
1–2 www.zoll.com 9650-0350-01 Rev. J
Manual Mode Defibrillation
In manual mode, the rescuer controls each step of defibrillation therapy. The AED Pro unit
displays patient ECG data and heart rate on the screen. The rescuer uses this information to
determine whether or not the patient has a shockable rhythm.
If the AED Pro unit is configured for semiautomatic mode defibrillation with ECG monitoring
enabled and manual mode override, and the ECG cable is not attached, the AED Pro unit starts
in semiautomatic mode at power up. If the AED Pro unit is configured for manual mode
defibrillation, the AED Pro unit runs only in manual mode.
When a shock is deemed necessary, the rescuer charges the defibrillator by pressing the
CHARGE softkey to charge the unit to the preconfigured energy level.
Note: Defibrillation energy levels are preconfigured and cannot be changed during clinical
use.
Once the defibrillator is fully charged, the Shock button begins flashing. The unit also emits a
charge-ready tone, continuously for the first 50 seconds, and then intermittently for the final
10 seconds. The rescuer must deliver the shock within this 60-second period, otherwise the
defibrillator automatically disarms itself. To recharge the unit, the rescuer must press the
CHARGE softkey again.
For more information, refer to Chapter 4, “Manual Mode”.
Manual Mode Defibrillation
ECG Monitoring
The optional ECG monitoring mode provides ECG rhythm and heart rate display, as well as
performing background ECG analysis to detect shockable rhythms. If the AED Pro unit detects
a shockable rhythm during monitoring, it immediat ely alerts the rescuer through displayed and
voiced prompts; if defibrillation pads are attached, the unit automatically switches to
semiautomatic mode.
For ECG monitoring, you can use
• AED Pro-compatible defibrillation electrode pad s
• Standard ECG electrodes (with an AED Pro ECG cable)
While ECG electrodes (not defibrillation electrode pads) are connected to the unit, the only
available mode is ECG monitoring.
All ECG monitoring is performed in the lead II configuration. The operator cannot select
another lead.
For more information, refer to Chapter 5, “ECG Monitoring Mode”.

CHAPTER 1PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Audio Recording
When installed and enabled, the Audio Recording Option allows the AED Pro unit to record up
to 20 minutes of continuous audio and clinical event data during a rescue. (The AED Pro unit
can record and store at least 5.8 hours of clinical event data when the Audio Recording Option
is disabled.) The recorded audio data is synchronized to the clinical event data.
Note: The AED Pro unit records up to 3 minutes of audio data prior to electrode placement.
The AED Pro unit can record and store data for only a single rescue when audio recording is
enabled — when the electrode pads are placed on the patient, the unit deletes any stored data
(ECG, Audio, and Event data) and begins recording data from the current rescue.
When you start the AED Pro unit in Non-rescue Mode, it does not delete stored rescue data.

Nonrescue Mode
The AED Pro unit provides the following functions in nonrescue mode:
• Data transfer
• Device configuration
The following sections briefly describe these functions. For more information, refer to
Chapter 6, “Nonrescue Mode”.
Data Transfer
The AED Pro unit includes nonvolatile memory, which automatically records
• Device history
• Clinical data
Stored information can be transferred to a remote device (such as a comput er) th ro ugh a USB
device or an IrDA (infrared wireless) connection. The clinical data format is compatible with
ZOLL RescueNet
data.
The unit retains the device history and clinical data even when powered off or when the battery
pack is removed. Clinical d ata is erased only when the device is powered on and electrodes are
attached to a new patient. If configured to do so, the unit can store data for more than one
patient.
Nonrescue Mode

Code Review software, which can be used to review and analyze the patient
Device Configuration
The AED Pro unit provides configurable settings that can be used to tailor the device for local
rescue protocols and procedures. Using the ZOLL Administration Software on a personal
computer, you can view or modify the unit’s configuration.
Standby State
When the unit is turned off with a go od ba ttery i nstalle d, the unit enters sta ndby stat e. While in
standby, the unit periodically starts up automatically to perform a self-test, and then returns to
standby . The Ready indicat or shows the result of the self-test. The frequency of self-tests wh ile
the unit is in standby state is a configurable setting.
Automatic Shutoff
The unit automatically powers off if no patient connection is detected within 10 minutes
(configurable).
