With their five-year shelf life, the ZOLL CPR D padz are the longest-lasting AED pads on the market, with one of the lowest costs of ownership. This one-piece electrode pad set is compatible with the ZOLL AED Plus and ZOLL AED Pro defibrillators, and it aids in both CPR and defibrillation.

Original ZOLL CPR D Padz Overview
Easy to Operate: Just remove the CPR-D-padz from their packaging, unfold, and line up the red cross symbol on the center of the patient’s chest, directly between the nipples. The two pads will automatically be aligned in the appropriate positions, so you don’t have to waste precious time figuring out the placement. You just need to remove the adhesive tape and firmly attach the pads to the patient’s chest.
Extremely Intuitive: This one-piece electrode pad and CPR system is equipped with Real CPR Help technology. Compression sensors can detect if you’re delivering chest compressions at the optimal depth and rate. The audible adaptive metronome helps you to keep the ideal pace, and the AED will coach you if you need to push harder.
Technologically Advanced: The ZOLL pads record important heart rhythm data and transmit it to the AED. The device uses this data to make lifesaving, split-second decisions about whether or not it’s advisable to shock the patient.
ZOLL CPR-D-Padz deliver the industry’s longest pad shelf life — 5 years from manufacture — and contain the embedded Real CPR Help® compression sensor that powers ZOLL’s real-time CPR feedback. Compatible exclusively with the ZOLL AED Plus (not the AED 3, which uses Uni-padz). One-piece front-and-back design simplifies placement for untrained responders. Authentic ZOLL inventory from authorized U.S. distributors only.
CPR-D-Padz are the adult replacement pads for the ZOLL AED Plus and ZOLL AED Pro — and the only pads on the market with a built-in sensor that physically measures chest-compression depth and rate. 5-year shelf life is industry-leading. Adult use only, pediatric patients require separate Pedi-Padz II. Do NOT substitute Uni-padz (those are AED 3 only) or Stat-Padz HVP (those are professional multi-function).

- Common Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Can I use CPR-D-Padz on a child?
No — CPR-D-Padz deliver an adult-only shock dose that’s too high for patients under 8 years or 55 pounds. For pediatric patients on the AED Plus or AED Pro, you must use ZOLL Pedi-Padz II at ~$165 per pair. The CPR sensor in CPR-D-Padz is also calibrated for adult chest geometry. For schools, daycare, churches with children’s programs, or youth athletic facilities, stock both CPR-D-Padz and Pedi-Padz II side-by-side in the cabinet.
Why are CPR-D-Padz $185 when other pads are $85?
CPR-D-Padz contain the Real CPR Help compression sensor, which is the AED Plus’s killer feature. The sensor measures compression depth and rate in real time and coaches the rescuer. Other AED pads are passive electrodes with no measurement function. The $185 price reflects both the sensor electronics and the industry-best 5-year shelf life (vs 2 years on most other pads). Per-year cost is actually competitive: about $37/yr vs $42/yr on shorter-life Philips pads.
Do CPR-D-Padz fit the ZOLL AED 3?
No — CPR-D-Padz are designed exclusively for the AED Plus and AED Pro. The AED 3 uses CPR Uni-padz, a different connector and form factor. This is the most common wrong-purchase mistake in the ZOLL ecosystem. Always confirm device model before ordering. If you have a mixed ZOLL fleet, you need both SKUs stocked — CPR-D-Padz for AED Plus/Pro units, Uni-padz for AED 3 units.
How long do CPR-D-Padz actually last in real cabinet conditions?
The full 5 years from manufacture date as long as the cabinet is climate-controlled (50–95°F per ZOLL spec) and the package seal is intact. The AED Plus self-test flips the indicator red about 30 days before the printed “Use By” date. Outdoor cabinets with seasonal extremes may shorten effective life by 6–12 months. Mount cabinets in conditioned indoor space whenever possible, and always replace before the indicated date even if the pads “look fine.”
