Intended Use

The ZAP GUARD II is intended to be used for the testing of the continuity and the integrity of the wires of Biphasic Defibrillator Systems.

Device Story

ZAP GUARD II is a defibrillator testing probe used to verify wire continuity and integrity in biphasic defibrillator systems. The device consists of an electrical circuit containing resistors and a neon lamp. When the probe contacts the paddles of an operational biphasic defibrillator, energy is delivered through the circuit. If the defibrillator wires are intact and energy delivery is continuous, the neon lamp illuminates. The device is used by clinical personnel to perform functional checks on defibrillator equipment. It provides a visual indicator of system integrity, assisting in the maintenance of equipment readiness.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device was tested for conformance to voltage and amperage design specifications and functionally tested using a biphasic defibrillator to confirm expected performance.

Technological Characteristics

Electrical circuit probe containing resistors and a neon indicator lamp. Designed for biphasic defibrillator systems. Passive device; no external power source required beyond the energy delivered by the defibrillator under test.

Indications for Use

Indicated for testing continuity and integrity of wires in biphasic defibrillator systems.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A defibrillator tester is a device that is connected to the output of a defibrillator and is used to measure the energy delivered by the defibrillator into a standard resistive load. Some testers also provide waveform information.

Pescatore June 2003 Date Prepared: ## Name of Device and Name/Address of Sponsor/Applicant ZAP GUARD II Guardian Angel Products, Inc. 2771 Philmont Ave Huntingdon Valley, PA 19006 Common or Usual Name: Defibrillator Testing Probe Classification Name: Tester, Defibrillator Predicate Devices: ZAP GUARD (K896985) #### Purpose of 510(k): . The purpose of this Special 510(k) is to modify the ZAP GUARD device used for testing monophasic defibrillator systems. The differences between the devices is that the resistor configuration of the new device was modified for use in testing biphasic defibrillator systems. ### Intended Use: The ZAP GUARD II is intended to be used for the testing of the continuity and the integrity of the wires of Biphasic Defibrillator Systems. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### GUARDIAN ANGEL PRODUCT INC.'S ZAP GUARD II 510(K) SUMMARY PAGE 2 #### Technological Characteristics: The ZAP GUARD II device consists of an electrical circuit incorporating resistors and a neon light within the pathway. Upon contact with the paddles of a biphasic defibrillator system which is operational, energy is delivered through the circuit. If the defibrillator system's wires are intact and energy delivery is continuous, then the neon lamp will illuminate. #### Performance Data Bench testing demonstrated that the ZAP GUARD II conforms to the original voltage and amperage design specifications. The ZAP GUARD II was also functionally tested using a biphasic defibrillator and performed as expected. #### Substantial Equivalence The Zap Guard II has the same intended use, principles of operation, and technological characteristics as the original ZAP GUARD device. The minor differences in the ZAP GUARD II do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrates that the ZAP GUARD II is as safe and effective as the original ZAP GUARD. Thus, the ZAP GUARD II is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices. {2}------------------------------------------------ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service Image /page/2/Picture/2 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

JUL 1 1 2003 Food and Drug Administration 9200 Corporate Boulevard Rockville MD 20850 Guardian Angel Products, Inc. c/o Mr. Ernest Pescatore 2771 Philmont Avenue Huntingdon Valley, PA 19006 Re: K030547 Trade/Device Name: Zap Guard II Defibrillator Test Probe Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.5325 Regulation Name: Defibrillator tester Regulatory Class: Class II (two) Product Code: DRL Dated: June 11, 2003 Received: June 11, 2003 Dear Mr. Pescatore: We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must {3}------------------------------------------------ #### Page 2 - Mr. Ernest Pescatore comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market. If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4646.
