ZOLL Medical Corporation, a leader in medical products and software solutions, helps responders manage, treat, and save lives in emergency rescues and in hospitals; outside the hospital while at work or home; in doctors' and dentists' offices and schools; in public places and on the battlefield. ZOLL's products contribute to managing patient care and savings lives, as well as increasing the efficiency of emergency medical, fire and hospital operations around the globe:

ALS defibrillators like R Series® for hospitals and E Series® for EMS, with real-time CPR feedback
LifeVest®, the world's first and only wearable automatic defibrillator
Temperature management technology for managing core body temperature of critically ill or surgical patients
AutoPulse®, a revolutionary non-invasive cardiac support pump that moves more blood more consistently than possible with manual chest compressions
RescueNet® software helps simplify the capture, sharing and accuracy of data
Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) that help BLS providers and lay bystanders provide defibrillation and the best possible chest compressions if only CPR is required
1952 While Chief of the Cardiac Clinic at Beth Israel Hospital, Paul M. Zoll, M.D., demonstrates that external electrical stimulation of a patient’s chest during cardiac arrest could produce an effective heartbeat.

1956 • Is the first physician to successfully use external defibrillation to regulate heart rhythms in patients. This discovery contributes significantly to the decrease in heart disease mortality.

• With technical collaborators, Dr. Zoll develops a way to display the heart’s cardiac electrical activity on an oscilloscopic screen. This includes registering each heartbeat with an audible signal, and sounding an alarm at the onset of cardiac arrest. These developments lead to cardiac monitors and other programs found in modern cardiac care units.

1960

Discovers that external electrical countershock is effective in terminating supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia. This procedure becomes widely used in the treatment of these arrhythmias, and is found to be safer than administering large doses of antiarrhythmic drugs.

1964

Develops a method for long-term direct electrical heart stimulation through an implanted pacemaker. Implanted cardiac pacemakers derive from his technologic breakthrough and are today a major cardiac therapy. It is estimated that more than 500,000 patients in the U.S. today are kept alive by implanted pacemakers.

1973

Receives the Albert Lasker Award for Clinical Medical Research, also known as "America's Nobels.” The Lasker Award is for physicians and others whose accomplishments made major advances in the understanding, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of major life-threatening diseases. It is most coveted award in medical science.

1977

Becomes Clinical Professor of Medicine, Emeritus, at Harvard Medical School.

ZOLL Medical Corporation: The Early Beginnings
1980

ZOLL is incorporated by the company’s three co-founders, Dr. Zoll, Willard M. Bright, and Rolf Stutz.

1983

Company introduces the ZOLL NTP® 1000, a non-invasive temporary pacemaker based on Dr. Zoll’s research. This patented technology provides superior capture rates, better patient tolerance of external pacing, and a clear recognition of cardiac capture.

1986

• The American Heart Association’s National Conference on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiac Care includes non-invasive external cardiac pacing as an adjunct to advanced cardiac life support.

• ZOLL introduces pediatric non-invasive pacing technology.

1988

Launches the ZOLL PD 1200™ Pacemaker/Defibrillator/Monitor, the first to combine proven pacing and defibrillating technology in a reliable, easy-to-use, compact unit. The operator can choose between monitoring, pacing, and defibrillation with just the turn of one control knob.

1989

Introduces adult multi-function electrodes, which provide well-tolerated pacing, effective defibrillation, cardioversion, and monitoring—all through a single pair of pre-gelled disposable electrodes.

ZOLL Medical Corporation: An Innovator In Resuscitation
1992

• Becomes a public company with an initial public offering of 2.1 million shares, which generates $14.6 million.

• Releases the PD 1400 Pacemaker/Defibrillator/Monitor, the smallest and lightest device of its kind available for critical patient transport and pre-hospital treatment.

• The American Heart Association elevates the importance of non-invasive pacing to the initial treatment of choice for certain serious patient conditions (Class 1 for profound bradycardia). ZOLL is the market leader for this technology.

• The American Heart Association Guidelines strongly recommend, “defibrillators be immediately available to emergency personnel responding to a cardiac arrest,” both in hospital and prehospital settings. It also emphasizes that the most important factor contributing to patient survival is the speed in delivering treatment.

1997

• Launches RescueNet®, the only complete EMS information management system that helps improve patient care, operational efficiency, and agency compliance. RescueNet, manufactured by ZOLL Data Systems, is used by hundreds of EMS organizations.

• Unveils a tablet computer-based 12-lead system to help identify the onset of cardiac arrest.

1998

Introduces the M Series®, the most advanced defibrillator worldwide. The product weighs 11 pounds, and is approximately one third the size and half the weight of any competitive full-featured defibrillator. The M Series is the first to provide a bright, high-contrast display of cardiac rhythms, a critical capability for any emergency unit.

1999

• Establishes subsidiaries in Canada and Germany.

• Announces the revolutionary Rectilinear Biphasic™ defibrillation waveform, which lowers the energy needed for successful defibrillation and cardioversion. In a unique development, the FDA clears ZOLL’s new biphasic waveform to be labeled as clinically superior to monophasic defibrillators for the conversion of ventricular fibrillation in high-impedance patients and for cardioversion of atrial fibrillation. ZOLL is the first company to have FDA clearance to make such superiority claims since the development of defibrillation in the 1950s.
