Cardiac Science Inc. Plans 54 Layoffs in Bothell, Washington

Bothell-based medical-device manufacturer Cardiac Science has notified the state Employment Security Department it will lay off 54 employees this summer.

The move comes four months after Opto Circuits of India acquired Cardiac for roughly $55 million.

Cardiac Chief Operating Officer Bob Odell said local jobs in finance, customer support and order entry are being moved to Waukesha, Wis., to be consolidated with another Opto subsidiary, Criticare Systems.
