Heart failure is a condition in which the heart muscle is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. This can result in extra fluid build up in the lungs which can make it hard to breathe. Every year about one million patients are hospitalized for heart failure with nearly 1 in 3 patients needing to return to the hospital within 3 months.^1,2

ZOLL HFMS is a patch and sensor used for at-home monitoring of lung fluid levels in patients with heart failure.

ZOLL HFMS helps your physician personalize your care. This patch-based system monitors lung fluid levels so that your doctor can help you manage your heart failure even before signs and symptoms begin. Once you're set up with the system, your medical care team will monitor you and contact you when necessary. There's no monitoring or worrying on your part.

Your care team prescribed HFMS to help manage your heart failure as you get back to your life. The information collected by HFMS can help your care team make changes to your care plan; these changes can help to keep you from returning to the hospital.

It is important to wear your device for as long as your doctor has recommended or until your doctor tells you to stop wearing it, even if you do not feel a change of your symptoms. This allows your doctor to be alerted and action to be taken before symptoms occur.

After your doctor prescribes ZOLL HFMS, you will receive a package containing all parts of the device.

Contact ZOLL before using your device for the first time to allow us to assist with setup. If you do not call within two days of receiving your device, a ZOLL representative will call you to help with setup.
