Primary Results from the ASSURE WCD Clinical Evaluation Post Approval Study (ACE-PAS)
The ASSURE System
Proven Safe & Effective
The ASSURE® system demonstrated safety and effectiveness based on findings presented during the Late-Breaking Science session at American Heart Association (AHA) 2025. These results are derived from the largest prospective, real‑world WCD study to date, reflecting the impact of the ASSURE WCD in improving patient care.1

The primary endpoint performance criteria were established based on published data from another commercially available WCD. The study met these criteria, demonstrating non‑inferiority in both safety and effectiveness.
of patients who experience sudden cardiac arrest are women⁶
ACE-PAS had the highest female enrollment in any WCD registry, supported by the only garment specifically designed for female anatomy.

of patients who experienced VT or VF had events occur within the first 90 days¹
*Disclaimer: The ACE-PAS investigators did not adjudicate all SVT/AF episodes. Only SVT episodes that triggered a tachyarrhythmia detection were adjudicated for AF. More patients are likely to have experienced SVT/AF that wasn’t detected.
