The $3,500,000 ZOLL Medical class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on May 5, 2026. The deal covers all living individuals in the United States to whom ZOLL Medical Corporation sent a notice of the data breach indicating that certain personal information was impacted in the cyber incident.

The court-approved website for the ZOLL data breach settlement can be found at HeartDeviceDataSettlement.com. 

Settlement class members who file a valid, timely claim form can receive up to $5,000 for out-of-pocket losses incurred due to the ZOLL data breach. This benefit covers expenses stemming from identity theft or fraud and costs associated with freezing/unfreezing credit reports, credit monitoring, postage, notary services and more.

Class members must submit documentation, such as receipts, to receive an out-of-pocket-loss payment.

In addition, all class members can submit a claim form to receive a pro rata cash payment. Class members whose Social Security numbers were impacted in the breach can receive an estimated $100, while class members whose Social Security numbers were not impacted can receive an estimated $50, though this amount may increase or decrease depending on several factors.

The ZOLL Medical Corporation class action lawsuit alleged that the company, which manufactures LifeVest wearable cardioverter defibrillators, among other emergency care medical devices, failed to safeguard the protected health information and personally identifiable information, including Social Security numbers, on its computer network from a January 2023 data breach. 

Court documents state that the ZOLL data breach involved the data of current and former patients who were prescribed the company’s LifeVest device and some current and former employees.
