ZOLL® AED 3 Semi Automatic

The ZOLL AED 3 Semi-Automatic is a premium-tier defibrillator built around 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 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.
• Industry-leading 5-year shelf life on both pads and battery.
• Smart battery reports power level on the LCD screen.
• Semi-automatic operation — rescuer presses shock when prompted.

What You'll Also Need

A complete AED program requires more than just the device. Most organisations also need:

• Wall cabinet — alarmed, lockable enclosure required for SA AED Act compliance and WHS best practice.
• AED location signage — ILCOR-standard signs at the device and directional arrows along corridors.
• Annual NATA-certified testing — ZOLL recommends annual inspection by a qualified biomedical engineer. Our service provides a calibration certificate for insurers and WHS auditors.
• Replacement CPR Uni-padz™ — schedule replacement at 5 years. Contact us to order.

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 automatically. Choose semi for trained rescuers who want manual control, fully for environments with untrained responders.

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 lifetime cost of ownership.

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 need it.
