That is a classic, when the saints go marching in, your offsider drops zoll down stairs. Oh dear one of those master card moments.

Yeah and how long would they last, thats a good question. Hence why they are trialling in VIC. How much do you think each unit costs.

Zoll Autopulse. CPR Device. cost $24,200.00 AUD.

I could see this being implemented in a Critical Care Ambulance. However once more units are sold I'm sure the price will come down in line with demand. However you wouldn't want to drop one of these down the stairs , you might need CPR afterwoods over the replacement cost
