ZOLL's latest generation AED. A full-colour touchscreen with vivid rescue images, the industry's fastest rhythm analysis, and one set of pads for both adults and children. Designed so any bystander can act quickly and confidently.
Tailored advice for your business, school or community group, with no pressure and no obligation.
The ZOLL AED 3 is built for one purpose: to help an untrained bystander save a life in a sudden cardiac arrest emergency. It talks you through the rescue step by step, shows you what to do on a full-colour screen with vivid rescue images, and watches your CPR in real time, telling you exactly how to improve every compression.
Like every ZOLL AED, the AED 3 includes Real CPR Help®. Sensors in the pads measure the depth and rate of each chest compression:
This matters because high-quality CPR drives survival. A landmark Arizona study found that survival odds were 2.7 times higher when rescuers used ZOLL's Real CPR Help feedback with training. Only ZOLL AEDs watch your CPR and coach you through it.
Every second without a normal heart rhythm reduces the chance of survival by 7 to 10%. The AED 3's RapidShock™ analysis is the fastest in the industry: it analyses the heart rhythm and, if a shock is needed, can deliver it in as little as five seconds. Less analysis time also means less interruption to chest compressions, which further improves the odds.
The universal CPR Uni-padz™ are a single solution for both adult and paediatric victims. If the patient is a child, press the child mode button and the AED 3 adjusts its therapy and guidance automatically. There are no separate paediatric pads to buy, store or hunt for in an emergency, and the Uni-padz last up to five years.
The AED 3 self-tests automatically, and with built-in WiFi it reports its status to the cloud through ZOLL's Program Management Onboard™. If a battery is running low or pads are approaching expiry, you find out from a report, not from a failed rescue. For organisations with multiple AEDs across multiple sites, this makes compliance simple. Pair it with our rescue-ready maintenance guide to keep your programme audit-proof.
An IP55 rating against dust and water and a 1 metre drop test rating make the AED 3 tough enough for worksites, boats, sports fields and outdoor cabinets, not just office walls. And it is backed by an 8 year warranty, the longest in the ZOLL range, with NZ based support from AED NZ.
Both devices share Real CPR Help and ZOLL's proven rescue guidance. Choose the AED Plus for a lower purchase price and consumer-grade batteries available off the shelf. Choose the AED 3 for the touchscreen with rescue images, faster RapidShock analysis, built-in child mode, WiFi self-reporting and the 8 year warranty. Not sure? Call us on 0800 55 99 55 and we will help you choose in five minutes.
Watch how the AED 3 guides a rescuer through a cardiac arrest rescue: clear voice prompts, vivid rescue images on the touchscreen, and Real CPR Help coaching every compression. More videos are in our free AED training library.
