Designed exclusively for the Cardiac Science Powerheart G5 iCPR model. Not compatible with the standard G5 or other Cardiac Science models.
When to Replace
Replace after patient use or when expiration is reached.
Shelf Life and Storage
Store in sealed packaging in controlled conditions. Check expiration dates regularly.
Key Features
- Real-time CPR quality feedback via integrated sensors
- Monitors compression depth and rate
- Exclusive compatibility with the G5 iCPR model
- Supports bidirectional communication between pads and the device
ICPR pads are the upgrade path that adds real-time CPR feedback to the Cardiac Science Powerheart G5. The embedded sensor measures compression depth and rate during active CPR — the same clinical benefit ZOLL delivers via Real CPR Help. Worth the upgrade in environments where responder CPR quality matters (gyms, fitness facilities, sports venues, corporate ERTs). For standard adult use without coaching, the cheaper IntelliSense pads (model 36) are sufficient.
ICPR pads add real-time CPR rate + depth feedback to any existing Powerheart G5 — no hardware swap, just buy ICPR pads instead of standard Intellisense at next pad cycle. Recommended for athletic facilities, schools, and workplaces that train staff to a CPR-feedback standard.

- Common Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Are ICPR pads worth the $45 premium?
For trained staff yes — ICPR adds CPR rate + depth feedback at next pad cycle without requiring a device swap. The $45 premium pays back when rescuers actually use the coaching. Pair with CPR1 training and the upgrade becomes the cheapest path to a CPR-feedback AED on the market. For untrained-rescuer environments (small offices, home buyers), skip ICPR — the feedback can’t be acted on. The decision pivots on rescuer training, not budget.
ICPR vs ZOLL Real CPR Help — head to head?
Real CPR Help has the deeper clinical track record (decades of AHA Journals research) and works with a wider compatible patient range. ICPR offers similar real-time rate + depth feedback at a slightly lower per-pack cost. For new device buyers, the ZOLL AED Plus + CPR-D-Padz is the more proven CPR-feedback platform. For existing Powerheart G5 owners, ICPR is the right upgrade path — the savings vs replacing the entire device are substantial.
