• 5 years of battery life and electrode pads can increase vigilance and are economically affordable.
• Resistant to exposure to dust and moisture with an IP55 rating, one of the best in its class.
• An adaptive metronome guide, which can assist the operator or rescuer in determining the appropriate amount of chest compressions.
