Zoll AEDs
ZOLL is the global leader in resuscitation technology and the only AED brand that provides Real CPR Help, a built-in system that measures chest compression depth and rate in real time and tells the rescuer to push harder, pace differently, or confirms good compressions throughout the entire rescue. Total AEDs carries the full ZOLL AED lineup, including the ZOLL AED Plus and ZOLL AED 3, both available in semi-automatic and fully automatic configurations. Whether you are deploying a public access defibrillation program for a school, office, gym, hotel, fire department, or military installation, a ZOLL defibrillator gives every rescuer, trained or untrained, the clearest, most actionable guidance of any AED on the market. Free standard shipping is available on orders $149+ within the contiguous U.S.

About ZOLL Medical and the Real CPR Help difference
ZOLL Medical Corporation, founded in 1980 and now a subsidiary of Asahi Kasei, holds more resuscitation patents than any other company on earth. Their defibrillators are used by EMS agencies, fire departments, hospitals, military units, and public access programs across more than 140 countries.
The defining advantage of every ZOLL AED is Real CPR Help. ZOLL is the only AED manufacturer that integrates compression-depth and rate sensing directly into the electrode pad, then coaches the rescuer in real time. No other AED brand does this at this level of specificity.
The CPR electrode measures actual compression depth via accelerometer technology and delivers immediate voice and visual prompts if the rescuer pushes too shallow, too fast, or too slow.
Rhythm-analysis algorithm completes in as little as 5 seconds, minimizing the pause between CPR cycles and shock delivery in line with the 2015 AHA Guidelines update.
Both CPR-D-padz (AED Plus) and CPR Uni-padz (AED 3) carry a 5-year shelf life. The AED Plus runs on standard consumer lithium batteries available at any retail store.

Why buyers choose ZOLL over other AED brands
ZOLL competes against Philips HeartStart, Cardiac Science Powerheart, HeartSine Samaritan PAD, and Physio-Control LIFEPAK. Five differentiators tip buyers toward ZOLL.
Real CPR Help is the only AED feature that measures actual compression depth and coaches the rescuer to correct it mid-rescue. Every other brand either lacks depth sensing or offers a more passive coaching experience.
The AED Plus runs on 10 standard AA-size lithium batteries, around $30 at any retail store. If a battery dies mid-program, replacements are available within minutes, not after a medical-device order cycle.
Five years on both CPR-D-padz and CPR Uni-padz is the industry standard-setter. Longer shelf life means lower replacement cost and fewer replacement cycles over the AED's 7 to 8-year service life.
ZOLL is the preferred defibrillator brand of the U.S. military, most major urban EMS systems, and NASA. That institutional trust transfers directly to the reliability expected by corporate and institutional AED buyers.
ZOLL's focus on CPR quality directly mirrors the AHA's 2020 Guidelines update, which reinforces that uninterrupted, high-quality chest compressions are the single most critical survival variable in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Frequently asked questions about ZOLL AEDs
QAre ZOLL AEDs brand new with a full manufacturer warranty?
Yes. Every ZOLL AED sold by Total AEDs is brand new, factory sealed, and ships with the full ZOLL manufacturer warranty: 7 years on the AED Plus and 8 years on the AED 3. Total AEDs also carries refurbished ZOLL AED Plus and AED 3 units if you are looking for a budget option, which come with a separate warranty.
QIs ZOLL AED FDA approved?
Yes. The ZOLL AED Plus and ZOLL AED 3 both hold FDA Premarket Approval (PMA) as Class III medical devices and remain fully compliant with current FDA guidance for automated external defibrillators. ZOLL is an FDA-registered manufacturer and authorized U.S. distributor.
QHow long do ZOLL AED pads last?
Both the CPR-D-padz (AED Plus) and the CPR Uni-padz (AED 3) have an industry-leading 5-year shelf life from the manufacture date. Pads are single-use after rescue and must be replaced after every shock is delivered.
QHow long does the ZOLL AED battery last?
The AED Plus runs on 10 standard consumer lithium batteries with a standby life of approximately 5 years. The AED 3 uses a smart lithium battery with an installed standby life of up to 5 years. Both are significantly less expensive than the proprietary batteries used by competing AED brands.
QDoes ZOLL AED meet the latest American Heart Association guidelines?
Yes. ZOLL's Real CPR Help was designed specifically to help rescuers meet the AHA's guidelines for compression depth (at least 2 inches) and rate (100 to 120 compressions per minute). The AED 3's RapidShock analysis also directly addresses the AHA's emphasis on minimizing pre-shock and post-shock pauses in chest compressions.
QHow easy is it for an untrained employee to use a ZOLL AED?
Very easy. The AED Plus delivers step-by-step voice prompts and visual diagrams for every action. The AED 3 adds a full-color touchscreen with vivid rescue images and a real-time compression-depth bar so even a bystander who has never touched an AED gets coaching on whether their CPR is effective. AED training is strongly recommended but not required to operate either device.
QWhat is the difference between ZOLL AED semi-automatic and fully automatic?
In the semi-automatic configuration, the AED says "Shock advised, press the flashing button" and the rescuer delivers the shock. In the fully automatic configuration, the AED announces "Stand clear, delivering shock in 3, 2, 1" and delivers it without the rescuer pressing anything. Fully automatic is preferred for environments with a higher likelihood that rescuers will be untrained or emotionally overwhelmed. Semi-automatic is preferred for trained responders who want conscious control over shock delivery.
QAre ZOLL AEDs compatible with existing ZOLL wall cabinets?
The ZOLL AED Plus fits all standard and brand-specific ZOLL AED Plus wall cabinets (surface mount, semi-recessed, and 9-inch deep models). The ZOLL AED 3 has a slightly different physical profile and fits AED 3-specific carry cases and universal-size wall cabinets. If upgrading from AED Plus to AED 3, confirm cabinet dimensions before purchasing.
QDo I need a prescription to buy a ZOLL AED?
Yes. All ZOLL AEDs require a medical prescription / physician's authorization. Total AEDs includes the required prescription with every order at no additional cost.
QAre bulk discounts available for multi-unit ZOLL AED orders?
Yes. Total AEDs offers volume pricing for school districts, multi-site businesses, hospital systems, and government agencies ordering multiple units. Bulk discounts also apply to combined orders of AEDs, cabinets, signage, and AED management programs. Call (855) 286-6384 or email [email protected] with your unit count for a custom quote.
