ZOLL Medical Corporation, an Asahi Kasei Group Company, develops and markets medical devices and software solutions that help advance emergency care and save lives, while increasing clinical and operational efficiencies. With products for defibrillation and monitoring, circulation and CPR feedback, data management, therapeutic temperature management, and ventilation, ZOLL provides a comprehensive set of technologies that help clinicians, EMS and fire professionals, and lay rescuers treat victims needing resuscitation and acute critical care.

For this position, ZOLL Medical UK is looking for a qualified candidate to provide clinical & technical support for the LifeVest Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD) UK team. The LifeVest is prescribed to patients who have a known risk of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), and protects these patients until a long term treatment option has been identified. The LifeVest is lightweight and easy to wear, allowing patients to return to their 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 without any bystander intervention.
