The ZOLL R Series® Plus Defibrillator/Monitor is an advanced resuscitation system designed to bridge Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) care within a single device. The R Series Plus powers on in AED mode, providing straightforward guidance for BLS responders, and can convert to a full-featured manual ALS defibrillator with the push of a button when an advanced code team arrives. With integrated Real CPR Help®, See-Thru CPR®, OneStep™ electrodes, automated readiness testing, and optional patient monitoring capabilities, the R Series Plus helps hospitals standardize resuscitation equipment while supporting caregivers across different training levels.
Key Features
- AED-to-ALS functionality allows one device to support both BLS and advanced resuscitation teams.
- Powers on in AED mode for simplified operation during the initial response.
- Converts to a full-featured manual defibrillator with the push of a button.
- Real CPR Help® provides real-time feedback on chest compression depth, rate, and release.
- See-Thru CPR® helps clinicians view a patient's underlying cardiac rhythm by filtering CPR artifact, potentially reducing unnecessary interruptions in compressions.
- Supports tailored pediatric CPR and rhythm analysis.
- OneStep™ electrodes streamline therapy and are available for both adult and pediatric patients.
- High-resolution 6.5-inch LCD display for ECG waveforms, prompts, and patient information.
- Rechargeable lithium-ion battery supports mobile hospital use.
- Compact design weighs approximately 13.6 lb (6.17 kg) with OneStep cable and battery pack.
Real-Time CPR Support
A major advantage of the R Series Plus is its ability to provide immediate feedback during CPR. Real CPR Help® evaluates chest compressions and coaches responders on compression rate, depth, and release, helping teams maintain high-quality CPR throughout a resuscitation.
See-Thru CPR® complements this technology by filtering compression artifact from the ECG signal so clinicians can better evaluate the patient's underlying rhythm without unnecessarily stopping compressions. Together, these technologies are designed to support high-quality CPR while minimizing interruptions.
BLS & ALS in One System
The R Series Plus is particularly useful for facilities where caregivers with different levels of resuscitation training may respond to the same emergency. BLS responders can operate the system as an AED, while ALS clinicians can quickly transition the device to manual operation when advanced intervention is required.
This approach allows healthcare facilities to use one resuscitation platform for multiple responder levels, simplifying equipment standardization and helping ensure advanced capabilities are immediately available when the code team arrives.
OneStep™ Electrode Technology
ZOLL's OneStep™ electrodes are designed to simplify and accelerate resuscitation. Adult and pediatric options are available, with anterior/anterior and anterior/posterior configurations supported. The electrodes integrate with the R Series Plus to support defibrillation and CPR feedback while reducing the number of separate components clinicians need to manage during an emergency.
Automated Code Readiness
The R Series Plus performs comprehensive automated self-testing of more than 100 individual indicators, including critical components such as:
- Battery condition
- Therapy cables
- Electrodes
- Defibrillator functionality
- Power connection
- Electrode expiration status
This automated testing helps ensure the device remains Rescue Ready® while reducing the burden of manual equipment checks on clinical staff.
Connectivity & Data Management
The R Series Plus can integrate with ZOLL's resuscitation data and device-management ecosystem.
RescueNet® DeviceDashboard allows facilities to remotely monitor device status, including battery condition, power connection, electrode expiration dates, and defibrillator readiness.
RescueNet® CaseReview captures and aggregates resuscitation data from the R Series Plus over a facility's Wi-Fi network, supporting post-event review, debriefing, documentation, and quality-improvement initiatives.
Clinical Benefits
- Allows both BLS and ALS caregivers to use the same defibrillator platform.
- Simplifies initial emergency response by automatically powering on in AED mode.
- Provides real-time CPR feedback to improve compression quality.
- Helps minimize CPR interruptions with See-Thru CPR technology.
- Supports adult and pediatric resuscitation.
- Automated self-testing helps ensure equipment is ready for an emergency.
- Reduces equipment-management workload through remote readiness monitoring.
- Captures resuscitation data to support post-code review and quality improvement.
- Compact, battery-powered design supports deployment throughout hospitals and outpatient facilities.

The ZOLL R Series is a Code-Ready monitor/defibrillator designed for in-hospital resuscitation. It combines ZOLL's rectilinear biphasic defibrillation waveform, Real CPR Help compression feedback, and See-Thru CPR artifact filtering so the team can assess the underlying rhythm without fully interrupting compressions. OneStep electrodes and cabling consolidate defibrillation, pacing, and CPR sensing into a single connection, and automated self-tests report device readiness before the code begins.
The ZOLL R Series Plus Defibrillator family is configured to order across operating mode, monitoring content, and unit condition. Select the child configuration that matches the clinical program and budget.
Clinical applications include crash cart and code cart deployment, emergency departments, critical care and step-down units, cardiac catheterization labs, procedural sedation areas, and intra-facility patient transport.
