Z-BAR™ INDICATOR
The Z-Bar provides a relative visual graphical indicator of the total transthoracic impedance between the two defibrillation
pads or paddles. The Z-Bar is used in the assessment of:
• Adequate Pad, Paddle , or Spoon placement
• Pad or Paddle quality and integrity
• Pad or Paddle adhesion to the patient’s skin
• Pad or Paddle connection to the Responder 2000
• Provides for quick assessment between OFF and SHORTED
