New R Series Defibrillators with EtCO2 and NIBP and Temperature Management Solutions Showcased by ZOLL at American Heart Association Scientific Sessions
Sixteen Scientific Presentations Related to ZOLL Products and Technology Presented
CHELMSFORD, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– ZOLL Medical Corporation (Nasdaq GS: ZOLL), a manufacturer of medical devices and related software solutions, today announced that the R Series® defibrillators with new monitoring capability added as well as its new intravascular temperature management solutions are being exhibited in Booth #1417 at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2009 November 15-17th at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.
ZOLL’s R Series Code-Ready® Defibrillators, the original ALS and the newer R Series Plus, now offer mainstream capnography (EtCO2) and non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) options. These additional monitoring parameters assist rescuers in monitoring of critically ill patients and are useful before, during, and after a cardiac arrest. The R Series is designed to extend “Simple, Smart, Ready” defibrillation to every hospital department with advanced, cost-effective solutions for resuscitation. The R Series ALS is the most advanced ALS defibrillator available with networking capabilities and See-Thru CPR®. The R Series Plus, which has both AED and ALS capabilities, also has networking capabilities and See-Thru CPR. R Series Plus is an easy-to-use AED that becomes a manual defibrillator at the touch of a button. Like all other ZOLL defibrillators, these models provide the Real CPR Help® feature.
All R Series defibrillators use the same uniform operating system common to all ZOLL defibrillators. The cables, paddles, batteries, handles, and electrodes are also common to ensure clinicians won’t encounter a mismatch in a time of crisis. In addition, R Series ALS and Plus models can use wireless networking to ensure code-readiness.
New to ZOLL is Intravascular Temperature Management (IVTM™). These systems offer health care providers the power and control they need to rapidly, safely, and effectively manage the core body temperature of critically ill or surgical patients. The Thermogard XP®Advanced Temperature Management System delivers accurate, easy-to-use and cost-effective control for both cooling and warming applications. A range of endovascular catheters for cooling and warming also incorporate central venous infusion capabilities.
Also new to the ZOLL exhibit is the PocketCPR® for the iPhone®, an application which provides CPR training with real-time feedback. The application provides clear visual and audio step-by-step coaching on CPR performance and includes the initial steps to follow in the Chain of Survival. Attendees who take the CPR test on either the AED Plus® or AED Pro®, or listen to a product demo, will be able to download the PocketCPR® application onto their iPhone or iPod Touch.
Additional products and technologies on display include:
Scientific Assembly Presentations
An education grant from ZOLL helps to underwrite the AHA Resuscitation Science Symposium (ReSS), an international forum for scientists and care providers to discuss recent advances related to treating cardiopulmonary arrest and life-threatening traumatic injury.
Sixteen scientific presentations related to ZOLL products and technology, including two that were recognized as “Best Presentations,” are scheduled. These studies cover ZOLL technology including Real CPR Help, See-Thru CPR, the AutoPulse, LifeVest, and therapeutic temperature management products. Many of these research projects were completed using the information provided by data products from ZOLL, including Code Review® and RescueNet®, that record clinical and operational information from all ZOLL devices and products.
A listing and schedule of the presentations is available at www.zoll.com/aha-presentations.
