Wearable Defibrillators

• LifeVest Wearable Defibrillator
• The LifeVest wearable defibrillator is worn by patients at risk for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), providing protection during their changing condition and while permanent SCA risk has not been established. The LifeVest allows a patient’s physician time to assess their long-term arrhythmic risk and make appropriate plans. The LifeVest is lightweight and easy to wear, allowing patients to return to their common activities of daily living, while having the peace of mind that they are protected from SCA. The LifeVest continuously monitors the patient’s heart and, if a life-threatening heart rhythm is detected, the device delivers a treatment shock to restore normal heart rhythm.

  The LifeVest is used for a wide range of patient conditions or situations, including following a heart attack, before or after bypass surgery or stent placement, as well as for those with cardiomyopathy or congestive heart failure that places them at particular risk.

  The LifeVest is covered by most health plans in the United States, including commercial, state, and federal plans.

• Hospital Wearable DefibrillatorTimely response is important for all victims of cardiac arrest. With each passing minute before resuscitation, the chance of survival decreases by 10%.1  

  For VT/VF patients, immediate treatment with defibrillation is critical. ZOLL® is introducing a wearable defibrillator designed specifically for in-hospital use. The Hospital Wearable Defibrillator (HWD) constantly monitors the patient, automatically detects life-threatening arrhythmias, and provides immediate treatment.

  Provide your patients at risk of cardiac arrest with continuous protection.
