ZOLL | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Zoll Medical, a manufacturer of resuscitation devices and related software solutions, announced that the Zoll M Series defibrillator has been installed in a number of EMS centers and hospitals in the People's Republic of China.

According to the company, over 250 M Series have been installed in both ambulances and hospitals in Beijing over the past 18 months to service the Summer Olympic Games and help improve the city's emergency service levels. In Shanghai, the largest city in China, the M Series has been selected to equip the city's newly-expanded ambulance service. To date, the Shanghai Medical Emergency Service Center has placed 145 M Series into service in the metropolitan area.

This project marks the first time that AEDs are being made available to local residents in China through health centers and clinics, the company said.

Although modest in proportion to our consolidated results, over the past two years, our growth in China has exceeded 100 percent," said Richard A. Packer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zoll. "We're especially pleased that major health agencies in China recognize the value, reliability and consistency of our product portfolio, and are using our defibrillators, AEDs and AutoPulse to improve outcomes from sudden cardiac arrest, the globe's leading cause of unexpected death."
