Anything Can Happen. Anyone Can Help.™

You’re tasked with keeping your school community safe, and that’s a big responsibility. Preparing in advance for unexpected medical incidents like sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) could mean the difference between life and death for your pupils, staff, and visitors.

Ensure you are Rescue Ready®

When someone suffers SCA in your school, you need to be ready to provide immediate care. ZOLL automated external defibrillators (AEDs) empower anyone to help save a life by helping users provide high-quality CPR and deliver a defibrillating shock if one is needed. Step-by-step instructions and real-time CPR feedback support users throughout the rescue. Add Rescue Ready® Services programme management and you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing your devices will be ready when you need them most.

The evidence is indisputable

High-quality CPR is the primary component in influencing survival from cardiac arrest.1 All ZOLL AEDs provide real-time CPR feedback to guide rescuers.
