CPR-D•padzTM is unique to ZOLL
Failure to adequately compress a victim’s chest is a common error during CPR. The force required to properly compress a victim’s chest 1 ½ - 2 inches varies depending on the patient’s build and anatomy. Until now, only force and pressure sensors have been available.
Technology in ZOLL’s CPR-D•padz includes a hand placement locator, an accelerometer, electronics, and a sophisticated processing algorithm. This system accurately measures CPR compression, and converts the motion of the accelerometer over time into distance moved. The infrequent rescuer now has help providing CPR support for the victim.
One Electrode Size Fits All
A one-piece electrode design must account for anatomical variation in the patient population. The design of ZOLL’s CPR-D•padzis based on extensive human anthropometric data and studies designed to accommodate the wide range of patient sizes and shapes and to ensure that a one-piece electrode meets the needs of emergency AED use. The design developed for the CPR-D•padz meets the characteristics of 99% of human chest anatomy. A special feature lets the rescuer separate the apex electrode to cover the other 1% of the population and other anatomical variations that require special adaptation.
Simplified Electrode Placement
Simplifying electrode placement is critical to widespread use of AEDs. Labeling helps, but it is often overlooked or discarded in an emergency that is sudden and unanticipated. The infrequent rescuer is easily confused when looking at a victim as to “left,” “right,” “up,” and “down.” Two separate electrodes cause concern over incorrect placement and technical complications if electrodes stick together before being placed correctly on the patient.
The unique one-piece design of ZOLL’s CPR-D•padz addresses these problems by orienting the simple design to the head while using the easily remembered CPR landmark (the sternum) as the key placement cue. Packaging is then removed by a simple pull after positioning. Because this is the same placement taught for CPR hand position, AED users benefit from having to remember only one easy landmark for both interventions.
