ZOLL® AED 3 Semi Automatic

The ZOLL AED 3 Semi-Automatic is a premium-tier defibrillator built around the Real CPR Help technology that measures and displays chest compression depth and rate in real time — guiding rescuers to deliver compressions that match Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines. The full-colour LCD shows live rescue images, a CPR cycle timer, and a depth gauge so rescuers can see exactly how their CPR is performing.

Key Features

• Enhanced Real CPR Help with full-colour display, vivid rescue images, CPR cycle timer, and a colour bar gauge showing live compression depth.
• CPR Uni-padz™ electrodes work on adult AND paediatric patients — no need to stock two separate pad sets.
• Optional WiFi cloud connectivity for automatic AED readiness reporting to your program management system.
• Industry-leading 5-year shelf life on both pads and battery — fewer replacements, lower lifetime cost.
• Smart battery reports power level on the LCD screen and (optional) wirelessly to your AED management dashboard.
• Semi-automatic operation — rescuer presses shock when prompted.

Who it's for

Workplaces, healthcare facilities, schools, and aged-care providers running fleet AED programs where readiness reporting and lifecycle cost matter. The 5-year pad/battery life cuts your maintenance overhead in half versus competing AEDs. The Uni-padz approach simplifies stock — one electrode SKU covers adult and paediatric rescue. If you don't need CPR coaching or fleet management, the HeartSine 350P is a lower-cost alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between this and the AED 3 Fully Automatic?
This semi-automatic unit requires the rescuer to press the shock button when prompted; the fully automatic version delivers the shock by itself once a shockable rhythm is detected. Choose semi for trained rescuers who want manual control, fully for environments with untrained rescuers.

Why are the pads and battery rated for 5 years?
The AED 3 was engineered specifically to extend the standard 2-4 year industry life to 5 years, reducing the lifetime cost of ownership. Mark install and expiry dates on your maintenance log.

Do I need the WiFi cloud reporting?
Optional — useful if you manage 5+ AEDs and need centralised readiness reporting. Single-AED sites typically don't bother.
