Once all the batteries are replaced, press the “battery reset” button inside the battery compartment and replace the cover. See this video for a demonstration.

Electrode Pads:

What is the difference between CPR-D-padz® and Stat-padz® II?

CPR-D-padz have a unique one-piece design that aids in easy placement on the chest and enables Real CPR Help® feedback on depth and rate during CPR chest compressions. CPR-D-padz have an extended 5-year shelf life.
Stat-padz II offer a more conventional two-piece electrode pad system. Stat-padz II do not enable the CPR feedback available in your ZOLL AED Plus. They have 24 month shelf life.

What if I have to use the CPR-D-padz on a victim who is larger?

While the CPR-D-padz come in a one-piece design, as a single unit, each of the electrode pads are detachable from the center piece. This allows the rescuer to place them in the correct position for defibrillation, without sacrificing the CPR feedback capabilities.

Can I use the CPR-D-padz on a pediatric patient?

CPR-D-padz are not designed for use on pediatric patients. For children under 55 lbs, ZOLL Pedi-padz® II should be used with the ZOLL AED Plus.

What kind of feedback do the CPR-D-padz provide?

CPR-D-padz enable the real-time CPR feedback technology available in your AED Plus. The AED Plus has a bar gauge on the screen that shows the depth of compressions and the unit gives audible prompts such as “press harder” and “good compressions”, it also has a built in metronome that helps guide rescuers to the proper rate.

Do the Stat-padz II provide CPR feedback?

No, the Stat-padz II do not provide CPR feedback.

How long do ZOLL AED Plus electrode pads last?

The CPR-D-padz have a 5 year shelf life, the Stat-padz II have a 24 month shelf life, and the Pedi-padz II have a 24 month shelf life.
