Notification of Adverse Events

As a health care provider, you may have responsibilities under the Safe Medical Devices Act
(SMDA), for reporting to ZOLL Medical Corporation, and possibly to the FDA, the occurrence
of certain events.

These events, described in 21 CFR Part 803, include device-related death and serious injury or
illness. In addition, as part of our Quality Assurance Program, ZOLL Medical Corporation
requests to be notified of device failures or malfunctions. This information is required to ensure
that ZOLL Medical Corporation provides only the highest quality products.
