Zoll E Series
With ZOLL's Real CPR Help®, chest compressions and rate and depth is measured in real time, and visual and optional audible feedback are provided. All CPR data can be recorded and reviewed using RescueNet Code Review software. Unique to ZOLL, our See-Thru CPR® allows CPR artifact to be filtered, allowing you to see organized rhythms without pausing compressions. New innovative roll cage design and shape. EasyRead Tri-Mode Display™ screen for use in both pitch darkness or direct sunlight. A new Rapid Cable Deployment™ System for faster deployment. Built-in GPS clock, allowing users to synchronize dispatch, defibrillator, and intervention call times, improving overall data accuracy. Compatible with ZOLL’s sealed lead acid 4410 Smart Battery™ as well rechargeable lithium ion. Integrates optional Bluetooth® functionality to provide data transmission capability to a variety of destinations. Uses ZOLL’s proprietary Rectilinear Biphasic™ waveform, the only biphasic waveform cleared by the FDA to claim superiority to monophasic waveforms for the conversion of ventricular fibrillation in high impedance patients.
Key tips
- ·Never skip the daily/shift ready-check - a defibrillator found dead during a code is a real, repeated root-cause finding.
- ·Pads and batteries have real expiration dates - check them on every PM, not just at annual service.
- ·Verify energy-delivery accuracy with a real defibrillator analyzer, not just a self-test pass.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Fails the delivered-energy / discharge test
HighSymptoms: Delivered energy outside tolerance on the analyser, will not charge, or charges slowly.
Root cause: HV capacitor / charging-circuit ageing, or an output-relay fault.
Battery will not hold charge / fails readiness
HighSymptoms: Short standby, readiness indicator shows service, unit fails the self-test on battery.
Root cause: Aged battery pack or a charging fault.
Therapy cable / pads or paddles fault
MediumSymptoms: "Check pads", "connect electrodes", no ECG through pads, poor paceing capture.
Root cause: Worn therapy cable, expired pads, or a paddle / connector fault.
ECG / SpO2 / NIBP / CO2 parameter fault (defib-monitors)
MediumSymptoms: A monitoring parameter drops or is implausible.
Root cause: Patient cable / sensor or the parameter module.
Recorder / data fault
LowSymptoms: No printout, event data will not transfer.
Root cause: Thermal recorder or the data / Wi-Fi interface.

Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Fails the delivered-energy / discharge test or charges slowly
- Run the full delivered-energy test at several settings into a defib analyser.
- Test synchronised cardioversion and, if fitted, pacing capture and output.
- Inspect the therapy cable and paddles / pads connector.
- If energy is out of tolerance or charge time is long, remove from service.
- Refer the HV / charging board and capacitor to the OEM.
Symptom: Fails readiness / self-test or dies on battery
- Fit a fully charged battery and repeat the self-test.
- Run a battery capacity / calibration cycle.
- Check the charger, the charging contacts and the auto-test log.
- Replace the battery pack when capacity is low.
- Record a passing readiness self-test before returning to service.
Symptom: "Check pads / connect electrodes" or no ECG through pads
- Fit fresh, in-date pads and confirm the connector seats fully.
- Swap the therapy cable.
- Check ECG through pads and through the 3/5-lead cable on a simulator.
- Inspect the pads port for damage.
- Replace the therapy cable; refer the front end if both paths fail.
Symptom: A monitoring parameter (ECG / SpO2 / NIBP / CO2) drops or is implausible
- Reseat and swap the patient cable / sensor for that parameter.
- Verify against a simulator.
- Check the parameter module connection.
- Update the device software if a known issue applies.
- Refer the parameter module as isolated.
