and by reference made a part hereof (the "Product Specification"), (b)
accomplish System Verification Testing on the entire instrument as set forth
in the Statement of Work as set forth in Appendix III attached hereto and by
reference made a part hereof (the "Statement of Work"), and (c) acknowledge
and agree that, pursuant to purchase orders numbered 98010 and 98021 (the
"Purchase Orders"), ZEVEX has already commenced the engineering and
development efforts contemplated by this Agreement.  Both the Parties agree
that the Purchase Orders are valid and binding and are attached hereto as
Appendix I and by reference made a part hereof.
         
          1.2  DEVELOPMENT MILESTONES.  ZEVEX shall develop Alpha units and Beta
units and verification testing in accordance with the Statement of Work set
forth in Appendix III.  ZEVEX will

                                     
<PAGE>

diligently pursue completion of the work and will allocate sufficient staff and
technical resources and use its best efforts to meet the deadlines and complete
the work described herein. The parties shall cooperate to reach the market as
quickly as possible with a quality product.

          1.3  DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT -- REVIEW AND CHANGES. ZEVEX will hold
regular design reviews in accordance with its standard development operating
procedures, which procedures call for reviews of at least preliminary design
review, pre-product review, engineering release design review, and
post-design review. Cardiac Science shall be informed of the dates of these
design review meetings at least one week in advance. If Cardiac Science does
not attend, it will be required to sign off or provide comments on the
minutes of that review within two working days of actual receipt. Change in
project scope or specifications during development will be by mutual consent
and will be quoted separately by ZEVEX if necessary. ZEVEX agrees to use its
best efforts to accommodate Cardiac Science on such changes in scope and/or
specifications as may be reasonably requested by Cardiac Science with
appropriate changes in the purchase orders.  Cardiac Science shall interface
with ZEVEX personnel as requested by ZEVEX.
         
          1.4  SYSTEM VERIFICATION TESTING.  For all sub-systems designed by
ZEVEX as defined in the Statement of Work, ZEVEX shall draft appropriate
verification protocol and perform the testing in Accordance with that
protocol. Cardiac Science shall author the system verification protocol and
Cardiac Science shall accomplish software verification and clinical
validation of the Product ("System Verification Testing"). Cardiac Science
has written the system protocol and ZEVEX shall test the system in accordance
with that protocol. Regulatory Standards Testing shall be managed by ZEVEX. 
Third party testing shall be approved in advance by Cardiac Science and shall
be paid by Cardiac Science. Test materials shall be the exclusive property of
Cardiac Science and ZEVEX will not use them except as needed to perform
hereunder.
         
          1.5  REJECTION OF WORK.  Should Cardiac Science determine, in the
exercise of its reasonable good faith judgment, that any verification or
testing of ZEVEX's work (including, without limitation, testing does not
conform to applicable specifications, then Cardiac Science shall (i) notify
ZEVEX of such problems; and (ii) permit ZEVEX a reasonable opportunity to
make any necessary corrections. ZEVEX shall resubmit to Cardiac Science
revised testing or other work corrected to meet the relevant specifications
within thirty (30) days of notice to ZEVEX. Cardiac Science shall have
thirty (30) days after such resubmittal within which to notify ZEVEX in
writing of Cardiac Science's approval of the corrected work or of Cardiac
Science's discovery of any additional discrepancies between that work and the
relevant specifications.

          1.6  TOOLING AND FIRST ARTICLE SAMPLES.  ZEVEX has estimated
circuit board tooling in Appendix IV attached hereto and by reference made a
part hereof (the "Deliverables.")  Firm pricing will be provided once the
circuit design and layout are complete. Tooling will be approved by Cardiac
Science and invoiced by ZEVEX at cost as those costs are incurred. Design
and procurement of tooling for injection molded plastic parts is the
responsibility of Cardiac Science. Cardiac Science will utilize ZEVEX's
established vendors when possible, provided that pricing and quality are
competitive and approved by Cardiac Science. ZEVEX is responsible to qualify
all vendors per their system requirements. Cardiac Science can request a
requote of components.
         
          1.7  COMPENSATION FOR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. In consideration for the
services rendered by ZEVEX for Product Development, ZEVEX shall be paid as
follows:  90,000 shares of Cardiac Science common stock (the "Shares") to be
issued as follows:  30,000 shares at the time of placement of the purchase
order, 30,000 shares at the time of acceptance of the Alpha units, and 30,000
shares at the time of completion of verification testing. In addition, ZEVEX
shall also be paid $339,360 as follows:  $10,000 each upon placement of each
of the Purchase Orders, $129,480 upon Cardiac Science's acceptance of the
Alpha units, and $129,480 upon completion of verification testing. The
balance of $60,400 for outside laboratory testing and CPU circuit board
tooling shall be paid when incurred. The fact that Cardiac Science makes the
foregoing payments shall not imply Cardiac Science's acknowledgment that a
particular event or milestone has been achieved.
         
          1.8  INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS.  ZEVEX represents and warrants
that it is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 of

further acknowledges that the Shares shall be restricted securities and
represents that the Shares are being acquired for its own account, for
investment and not for distribution or resale to others. ZEVEX acknowledges
receipt from Cardiac Science of the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB of Cardiac
Science for the year ended December 31, 1997, and the Quarterly Report on
Form 10-QSB of Cardiac Science for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, and all

relevant Product Specifications may require.
         
          2.2  PURCHASE ORDERS.  Cardiac Science shall provide a six-month
rolling forecast which shall be updated at the end of each calendar month.  The
first three months of this forecast will be a firm commitment for ZEVEX to
deliver and for Cardiac Science to accept deliveries.  Cardiac Science shall
issue a purchase order for each lot of product purchased.  The parties shall
cooperate to purchase long lead items and obtain quantity discounts beyond the
three-month rolling forecast described in Paragraph 2.1.

carriers unless a preferred carrier is identified in writing by Cardiac Science.
All risk of loss after delivery to shipper is borne by Cardiac Science.
         
          2.4  PURCHASE ORDER CANCELLATION.  In the event Cardiac Science
cancels a Purchase Order and ZEVEX has complied with its obligations under this
Agreement, Cardiac Science shall be responsible for the next three months of
production identified in the rolling forecast plus any extended inventory
ordered in excess of that three-month requirement and mutually agreed upon by
the parties as set forth in accordance with Paragraph 2.2.

local taxes.  The Costed Bill of Materials will be compiled from vendor
quotations approved by Cardiac Science.  Engineering or vendor changes which
significantly impact (plus or minus 10%) the Costed Bill of Materials will be
grounds for adjusting production pricing prior to the completion of one full
production year.  Pricing will remain fixed for a period of one year (subject
to significant changes as previously stated) and will be reviewed and
requoted annually.
