Be a hero and save a life with Zoll’s PocktCPR. Intended to be used by people already trained in CPR, it reminds the user what to do and gives feedback on whether it’s being done correctly.
Performing CPR incorrectly may harm the victim. For that reason, many bystanders are often reluctant to step in and be the hero. PocketCPR issues step-by-step audio and visual instructions on what to do.
By placing the PocketCPR on the victim’s chest before beginning CPR chest compressions, the device can give real-time verbal feedback and visual indicators to ensure it is being done correctly. If it’s done correctly, PocketCPR will say, “Good compressions,” and flash four LED lights. Otherwise, it will say “Push harder,” and flash just one LED.
The accelerometer inside the device measures the rate and depth of chest compressions and an audible metronome helps maintain the rate and rhythm.
Before beginning the compressions, the instructions remind you to calm down, check for the victim’s responsiveness and call for help.
There is a silent mode to suppress audible feedack. The lights continue to flash in silent mode.
The battery lasts about 12 hours before needing to be changed.
PocketCPR is approved by the FDA and is available for $149 online. Disposable sanitary slip-covers are sold separately. An app is also available to transform the iPhone into a PocketCPR. The app is not cleared by the FDA and should be used for training purposes only.
