ZOLL Medical Corporation is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the only source authorized to provide the required proprietary software, configuration, and technical support necessary to ensure compatibility with the existing ZOLL defibrillator platform currently deployed within the facility.

This procurement also requires manufacturer-level configuration, software updates, and diagnostic capabilities to ensure proper operation and continued compliance with manufacturer safety standards. Use of non-authorized service providers may compromise system functionality, patient safety, and device reliability.
