The ZOLL R Series® ALS Code-Ready® Defibrillator/Monitor is an advanced hospital resuscitation system designed to support Advanced Life Support (ALS) teams with comprehensive defibrillation, pacing, ECG monitoring, and real-time CPR assistance. Built around ZOLL's Code-Ready® technology, the R Series automatically evaluates critical components of the system to help ensure the defibrillator is ready when a cardiac emergency occurs. Combined with Real CPR Help®, See-Thru CPR®, OneStep™ electrodes, and Rectilinear Biphasic™ defibrillation, the R Series ALS provides clinicians with an integrated platform for delivering and evaluating high-quality resuscitation care.
One of the defining features of the R Series ALS is its comprehensive approach to equipment readiness. Rather than simply confirming that the defibrillator can deliver a shock, the Code-Ready system checks more than 40 individual measures of readiness. These checks can include the defibrillator hardware, therapy delivery cable, appropriate electrodes, electrode condition and expiration, and other electronic functions.
Readiness testing occurs automatically while the unit is off and connected to AC power, when the defibrillator is powered on, and periodically during operation. The system can also produce printed or electronic logs that alert hospital personnel when a component or accessory may compromise readiness.
The R Series ALS incorporates ZOLL's Real CPR Help® technology to provide rescuers with immediate feedback during resuscitation. Audio and visual prompts help clinicians determine whether compressions are being delivered at the appropriate rate and depth, allowing adjustments to be made during the code.
The CPR Dashboard™ further supports resuscitation teams by displaying CPR quality measures, including numeric compression rate and depth information and indicators related to compression release.
Interruptions in chest compressions can negatively affect CPR quality. See-Thru CPR® technology filters compression artifact from the ECG waveform, helping clinicians determine whether an organized or potentially shockable underlying rhythm has developed without unnecessarily stopping compressions.
The R Series ALS uses ZOLL's Rectilinear Biphasic™ waveform and provides selectable energy settings of 1–10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 75, 100, 120, 150, and 200 joules. The system also supports synchronized cardioversion by synchronizing energy delivery with the patient's R-wave.
Optional transcutaneous pacing provides both demand and asynchronous non-invasive pacing for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. When used with compatible OneStep Pacing or OneStep Complete electrodes, pacing and ECG monitoring can be performed without separate ECG electrodes.
ZOLL's OneStep™ family of electrodes is designed to simplify therapy delivery during a resuscitation. With OneStep Complete electrodes, clinicians can monitor, defibrillate, or pace without requiring a separate three-lead ECG cable.
The R Series also offers dedicated pediatric capabilities. Compatible pediatric electrodes use a pediatric algorithm to help identify shockable rhythms and automatically reduce the initial energy setting to 50 joules, while still allowing clinicians to select other appropriate energy levels.
The R Series ALS provides comprehensive ECG monitoring through 3-lead or 5-lead ECG cables, paddles, or hands-free electrodes. Selectable leads include I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V, and additional selections when used with compatible OneStep electrodes.
An integrated annotating strip-chart recorder provides immediate documentation and summary reporting. Stored resuscitation data can also be transferred for review and archiving, supporting post-event analysis and quality-improvement programs.
