Avive Connect AED

vs.

ZOLL AED 3

Avive’s Connect AED is the newest defibrillator to hit the market, released in 2023, and falls on the low to middle end of the cost spectrum. At 2.1lbs, it is the smallest, lightest FDA approved AED with on the fly bilingual capabilities and a child button that eliminates the need for separate pads or a pediatric key. Fully connected to Wifi, Bluetooth, and GPS, it is the first and only AED to offer full, bidirectional integration with 911 call centers. Its software can be updated remotely and it is also the first device to display a female chest in the on-screen graphic instructions.

The ZOLL AED 3 has been on the market since 2020 and is on the higher end of the cost spectrum for AEDs. The ZOLL AED 3 is the company’s newest device and it has a video screen and universal (Child and Adult) pads. While this is a single language device, it can be programmed to a new language but cannot be switched during a rescue. There is also a BLS version of this device (The AED 3 BLS).

Because of its 20+ years on the market and neon green coloring, this ZOLL unit is a recognizable, easy to spot AED.
