Over the years, PTA had participated in several critical programs with Zoll Medical Corporation and was called on to be part of the M Series Defibrillator product launch team.

Zoll defibrillators are essential to the emergency treatment of cardiac arrest victims both inside and outside the hospital. The M Series delivers an advanced, highly portable, lightweight defibrillator that can be used wherever the need arises.

• PTA’s extensive involvement in design, tooling, molding and quality performance addressed critical issues early on.
• Mold fill analysis yielded fill information and gating direction for the complicated housing. (view 2)
• SolidWorks™ databases enabled the tooling operations to build sixteen molds within 9 weeks for the main housings and paddles.
• Maximum rigidity and impact performance was achieved by molding parts out of GE Cycoloy C-2800 PC/ABS.
