We found 160 models of E SERIES by Zoll Medical Corporation in the FDA's device registry (GUDID). Together they are named in 833 adverse event reports in the FDA's MAUDE database, received between Aug 3, 2015 and Mar 23, 2021 — classified as 4 deaths, 828 malfunctions.
The most frequently reported specific device problem is “Failure to Power Up” (503 reports).
Reports come from manufacturers, hospitals and patients and are not verified by the FDA. A report does not prove the device caused the event. Widely used products collect more reports, so totals can't be used to compare products or estimate failure rates. Only reports that name a model's exact device identifier are counted.
