How to connect ShockLink to a ZOLL defibrillator

When it comes to CPR training, realism counts, and now it’s easier than ever to integrate your Zoll defibrillator into the Laerdal QCPR training environment, enabling you to control rhythms, combine defibrillator actions with QCPR data, get feedback on pad placement, and more.

Here you can find information to help you identify all the Laerdal equipment needed to more realistically train with a Zoll defibrillator, including the Real CPR Help® solution from Zoll, also called the “CPR puck.”

The Zoll Adapted ShockLink Pads enable ShockLink to connect with SimPad PLUS with SkillReporter, SimPad PLUS with LLEAP software, and TeamReporter app via the Laerdal LINK connection in the manikin. Laerdal LINK manikins (AED/ECG skin manikins) are Resusci Anne Advanced Skill Trainer, Resusci Anne Simulator, and Resusci Anne QCPR AED.

The pads have a velcro part designed to fit the “CPR puck.” In addition, the pads have the look and feel of the Zoll clinical/training pads, and also include Laerdal LINK technology and functionality.

The pads come in two variants: triangular and rectangular.

This setup enables:

• Real-time feedback from the “CPR puck” on the Zoll defibrillator
• Detection of correct pad placement establishing communication to the defibrillator
• Control of the ShockLink rhythms through the TeamReporter app or SimPad PLUS (SkillReporter or LLEAP)
• All the heart rhythms for Resusci Anne Advanced SkillTrainer and Resusci Anne Simulator are accessible
• Defibrillation events are added to the debrief timeline in TeamReporter app or SimPad PLUS (SkillReporter or LLEAP)

With ShockLink and a  Resusci Anne QCPR AED manikin, you can connect your Zoll defibrillator to TeamReporter, Laerdal’s newest app designed for high-performance CPR team training.

There is also an option to use Shocklink without a LINK manikin or a Laerdal QCPR solution. With this setup you will use the ShockLink app or ShockLink remote control to control heart rhythms.

For a more integrated experience, we recommend using a Laerdal LINK manikin and TeamReporter app or SimPad PLUS (SkillReporter or LLEAP).
