ZOLL AED 3 defibrillator

The image shows a ZOLL AED 3, a highly advanced automated external defibrillator designed for both professional and lay rescuers. ZOLL Medical Corporation, founded by Dr. Paul Zoll in 1980, is headquartered in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, USA. The brand is renowned for pioneering medical technologies in resuscitation and acute critical care.

While the brand originated in the United States, ZOLL was acquired in 2012 by the Japanese multinational conglomerate Asahi Kasei Corporation. Despite being part of a Japanese group, ZOLL maintains its primary R&D and manufacturing operations in the United States. The device pictured is installed in a Danish environment (evidenced by the Danish text 'Hjertestarter'), where it is often distributed by local subsidiaries or certified medical equipment suppliers like ZOLL Medical Danmark ApS.
