Accidents, medical emergencies and acts of violence can happen anytime, anywhere. Fortunately, you don’t need special training to help. You just need access to lifesaving equipment and the confidence to take action.

Ensure you are Rescue Ready®

Be prepared for the unexpected with ZOLL solutions. ZOLL public access AEDs provide real-time guidance that enables anyone to help care for victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in the critical moments before emergency medical services (EMS) arrive.

Creating safe spaces for everyone to live, work and play

Approximately 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the U.S. each year. Access to AEDs within a three-minute reach can make the difference between life and death. Have the peace of mind that comes with knowing you are prepared with ZOLL AEDs.

Time is of the essence
