Modern Wearable Cardiac Protection
Introducing the ASSURE WCD
The ASSURE® Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD) system from Kestra Medical Technologies provides important advantages based on patient-focused design and advanced technology.
WCDs work when patients wear them, with over 90% survival after an appropriate shock.¹,²,³ Yet providers report challenges when it comes to patient compliance.
Now, there’s a modern approach.

Welcome to ASSURE
The ASSURE system is a modern approach to sudden cardiac arrest protection.
It includes the ASSURE WCD, the ASSURE patient app and the Kestra CareStation™ remote patient data platform, all working together as a digital healthcare system to empower your team.
Designed for What Matters Most:
✓ Compliance
✓ Clarity
✓ Confidence
HeartPoint Alert Button
Enables the patient to interact easily with the WCD—by hearing, feeling, and touching—all from an intuitive location on the body.
SensorFit Garments
Made of breathable, lightweight fabrics with nonadhesive, embedded, and cushioned ECG sensors that are designed to move with the patient and capture high-fidelity ECG signals.
ASSURE Monitor
The ASSURE Monitor features the ASSURE Detection Algorithm and includes:
Quad Channel Processing™ utilizes four channels of high-fidelity ECG to determine the patient’s heart rate and rhythm. Only one noise-free channel is required for rhythm analysis.
Adaptive Patient Intelligence™ is a proprietary technology that adapts to the patient’s heart rhythm to filter out artifacts caused by patient motion.
The ASSURE system has significantly fewer false positive shock alarms
The ASSURE system detection performance exceeds the American Heart Association arrhythmia analysis recommendations for external defibrillators.3
The ASSURE system uses a biphasic waveform delivering 170 joules.4

Provider Viewpoints
“Having a device to protect people during that vulnerable period is an important feature to be able to offer to your patients.”
"They all think it’s much more comfortable, they’re compliant, and it was a service to give it to them.”
Clear Patient Information Anytime, Anywhere
Kestra CareStation
A remote patient data platform for the physician that offers efficient tools for managing cardiac patient care.
The Kestra CareStation platform delivers relevant data and valuable insights into patient heart rhythms and usage compliance:
Clear patient reports that include VT, VF, bradycardia, asystole, and non-sustained ventricular arrhythmia episodes.
WCD usage and physical activity trends.
Population dashboard with configurable notifications.
Empowering Patients in Their Recovery
ASSURE Patient App
Can automatically transmit patient heart rhythm data and lets patients monitor their usage time, track activity, and learn more about using the system.
Freedom to Move
The ASSURE WCD offers patients the freedom to go about their daily lives during recovery with ease and confidence. The SensorFit Garments’ practical design and comfortable styling offer cardiac patients high reliability medical device protection while supporting normal patient activities.
Better compliance offers better protection.
