Zoll Autopulse does anyone know anything about it, or used it?
Are department is starting to think about the purchase of the Zoll Autopulse. I was wondering what other departments think of it. Is it worth the cost of around $ 15000? A life is priceless so if it works as advertise we are interested.
We run short on manpower sometimes. In cases it may be up to 45 minutes or longer from page to hospital care. To give a little insight in to are situation.
I thank everyone who can shed some light on this machine.

I have used it on 2 different departments and it has worked well, it will produce a femoral pulse.
Pros
Compact
Easy to use
doubles as a back board
Cons
Battery Life is not that great
And the straps are not reusable or cannot be cleaned
We now use the Lucas
