Zoll Medical wins 510(k) clearance for its AED Plus CPR-assist technology.
Asahi Kasei (TYO:3407) subsidiary Zoll Medical won 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its fully-automated AED Plus device, which improves on the former semi-automatic model.
The new automated external defibrillator allows emergency responders to pre-program a shock instead of pushing the “shock” button.
“Like the semiautomatic AED Plus, the fully automatic version guides rescuers through the complete chain of survival, helping all sudden cardiac arrest victims, not just those who need a shock,” president Jonathan Rennert said in a prepared statement.
