ZOLL authorized representatives must have the mental and physical capabilities
to understand training given by ZOLL that covers programming the device,
measuring and fitting patients, and training patients in the daily use of the device.
Healthcare professional profile
Healthcare professionals evaluate and prescribe the patient. (Clinical information
is provided in the Operator’s Manual.) Healthcare professionals also monitor the
patient (LifeVest Network is described in the Operator’s Manual.) Healthcare
professionals can perform advanced programming of the device.
Patient training
It is essential that all patients receive training before wearing the LifeVest. This
training is given by ZOLL authorized representatives. These representatives
deliver the LifeVest training in the patient’s home or in a clinical setting.
Patient training consists of instructions for garment and electrode belt assembly
and disassembly; alarm response, including the use of the response buttons; and
how to change and recharge the batteries.
After completing the training, patients sign an agreement that documents receipt
of training in the use and care of the LifeVest.
In addition, phone support is available for patients by calling ZOLL or a ZOLL
representative.
