True or False? ZOLL® mechanical CPR devices provide the Guidelines-recommended 100–120 compressions per minute.
- A. True
- B. False
Because ZOLL’s circumferential compressions are fundamentally different from manual compressions, the compression rate differs from what is recommended in the Guidelines. To allow for complete chest wall recoil, ZOLL’s mechanical CPR solution provides 80 compressions per minute.1,2

What type of mechanical CPR technology do ZOLL® devices use to perform chest compressions?
- A. Piston-based technology
- B. Load-distributing band technology
- C. Manual compression technology
- D. Hydraulic compression technology
Load-distributing band technology. ZOLL’s mechanical CPR devices use load-distributing technology that squeezes the patient’s entire thoracic cavity.

Can you name the two types of mechanical CPR devices?
- A. Direct compressors and indirect compressors
- B. Standard depth and variable depth
- C. Piston-based and load-distributing band-based
Piston-based and load-distributing band-based. There are two types of modern mechanical CPR devices: piston-based and load-distributing band-based. Both perform automatic compressions, but how they do this differs.

True or false? A mechanical CPR device cannot perform compressions at a consistent rate and depth.
- A. True
- B. False
Mechanical CPR devices can deliver high-quality CPR on a continuous basis. Once the device is applied, it performs compressions at a consistent rate and depth, allowing rescuers and clinicians to transport the patient or perform other necessary interventions.
