Although defibrillators are sometimes touted as ‘high-energy’ devices, the term ‘energy’ actually refers to the electric current that shocks the heart into rhythm. ZOLL® defibrillators use low-energy, high-current RBW, which is a waveform that provides more current than any other biphasic waveform on the market. In fact, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved our RBW as the only waveform to claim superiority over monophasic waveforms.

The high-current capabilities offered in our defibrillators are particularly important for your high-impedance, difficult-to-defibrillate patients. Our biphasic defibrillators bring you and your patients multiple benefits: these devices are smaller and lighter while mitigating skin burns and injury to the heart. You can trust ZOLL technology as it has undergone extensive studies with testing on more than 7,000 patients.1
