Zoll AED Pro
From MEFD
The department uses Zoll AED Pros. These AEDs have both adult and pediatric pads. They also record audio during the CPR process.
Routine Maintenance
Each month during routine maintenance the following checks need to be made on the AED:
- Confirm that all items are present.
- Check that both the adult and pediatric pads are in good condition (do not open) and have not expired.
- Check that the ready indicator on the front is a green checkmark. If it shows a red x bring this to the attention of an officer.
- Run the unit through its self-check (see below).
