Product Overview
The ZOLL AED 3 BLS is engineered for responders who have undergone formal BLS training and who need the advanced situational awareness tools that the standard AED 3 dashboard provides at the professional level. While the standard AED 3 presents CPR depth as a visual bar gauge optimized for lay rescuers, the BLS version includes the CPR Dashboard™ — a comprehensive data display that shows actual compression depth numerically, real-time ECG, CPR cycle countdown, elapsed time, and shocks delivered. This information density mirrors the data presentation of advanced life support monitors at a price point accessible to BLS-level agencies.
The ZOLL AED 3 BLS is targeted at fire departments, law enforcement first responders, industrial rescue teams, EMS agencies deploying BLS-level units to first responders, and tactical medical teams operating in environments where cardiac arrest will be the primary medical emergency encountered. The combination of the CPR Dashboard, RapidShock analysis, and Real CPR Help feedback makes it one of the most evidence-aligned AEDs available for trained responders who want to close the gap between AED capability and professional performance metrics.
All core AED 3 platform specifications apply: Rectilinear Biphasic™ waveform, CPR Uni-padz® for universal adult/pediatric coverage, 5-year battery and electrode life, IP55 environmental rating, optional Wi-Fi for program management integration, and ZOLL's 5-second pre-shock pause. As a semi-automatic device, the BLS requires a rescuer to press the shock button when advised — maintaining rescuer engagement and awareness throughout the resuscitation process.
