Avive Connect AED

vs.

ZOLL AED Plus

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 semi-automatic version of the ZOLL AED Plus launched in 2002 and has been on the market for the last 20 years. In 2013, ZOLL launched the fully automatic version of their AED Plus. Both versions are middle of the cost spectrum, single language AEDs that have 5 year warranties on their disposable batteries and electrode pads.

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