ZOLL Medical, a manufacturer of resuscitation devices and related software solutions, announced that it will display its range of resuscitation products -- including the new ZOLL R Series defibrillator -- in its booth at the 2007 ENA Scientific Assembly, September 27-29, in Salt Lake City.
"We believe the R Series sets a new standard for simplicity and operational readiness, which will improve in-hospital resuscitation efforts," said Richard A. Packer, President and Chief Executive Officer of ZOLL. "This exclusive technology delivers new milestones in defibrillator performance and reliability when it counts the most -- during a cardiac arrest event."
The ZOLL R Series is a Code-Ready device that is simple, smart, and ready to use. It offers a OneStep system to simplify and speed up deployment of pacing and defibrillation therapy. It also offers smart tools to help clinicians improve CPR performance, which is important since more than half of in-hospital codes involve non-shockable rhythms and, in such cases, the only treatment is high-quality CPR with minimal interruptions.
The R Series can also verify the condition and expiration date of the electrode set. All of this testing occurs without disconnecting electrodes or paddles, or requiring additional equipment to test shock delivery. The system provides a printed or electronic log to alert hospital personnel of any concerns in advance of a code. A simple green checkmark indicates that the R Series is fully ready for use.
In addition to the R Series, ZOLL will also display:
