Overview
ZOLL Medical Corporation offers advanced EMS defibrillators equipped with interpretive 12-lead ECG capabilities, aimed at improving patient outcomes through faster treatment. The devices are designed to support emergency medical services (EMS) in the rapid diagnosis and treatment of ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients.

STEMI Management
Approximately 400,000 patients in the U.S. are admitted annually with STEMI, requiring emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) recommend a door-to-balloon time of less than 90 minutes. ZOLL's 12-lead ECG acquisition, interpretation, and transmission can save up to 15 minutes, aiding in quicker mobilization of emergency departments and cath labs.
