Zoll Targets Physio-Control’s U.S. Customers

Rebuked by the FDA for quality control issues, Redmond’s Physio-Control has been limited for almost a year to selling its LIFEPAK defibrillators in the United States to emergency service providers, such as paramedics and emergency medical technicians.

In a survey of paramedics and emergency medical technicians, conducted by an independent firm but paid for by Zoll, most respondents said they had not heard of Physio-Control’s travails.
