Intended Use
The ERA 300 is intended for use during invasive pacemaker procedures in the following activities: - Temporary External Pacing Provides temporary stimulation under DDD, DDI, DOO, VVI, VDD, AAI, or AOO modalities during implantable pacemaker procedures or physician evaluations. - Lead Threshold Determination Determines in situ lead characteristics of impedance, capture threshold, P/R wave amplitude and P/R wave slew rate. Determines the in vivo retrograde conduction time. - Pacemaker Function Test Tests and analyzes the in vitro operation of external or implantable pulse generators. Deternines the following parameters: pulse and width, sensitivity, refractory period, AV delay, and rate/interval.
Device Description
The ERA 300 is a portable, dual chamber pacing system analyzer designed to test the electrical performance of the pulse generator and the pacing lead system or operate as a temporary external pulse generator at the time of pacemaker implantation and during invasive pacemaker troubleshooting or evaluation procedures. The ERA 300 utilizes a touch-proof configuration to help prevent hazardous connection between patients and electrical power sources.
More Information

No
The document describes a device for testing and temporary pacing during pacemaker procedures, focusing on electrical performance analysis and standard pacing modalities. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the intended use, device description, or other sections. The predicate device is also a pacing system analyzer, suggesting a similar, non-AI/ML technology.

Yes
The device provides temporary external pacing, which is a therapeutic intervention to treat cardiac rhythm disorders. It also tests pacemaker function, which supports the proper functioning of a therapeutic device.

Yes
The device is used to "Determine in situ lead characteristics of impedance, capture threshold, P/R wave amplitude and P/R wave slew rate" and "Determines the in vivo retrograde conduction time," which are diagnostic functions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "portable, dual chamber pacing system analyzer" and mentions a "touch-proof configuration," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

Based on the provided information, the ERA 300 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the ERA 300 is used during invasive pacemaker procedures and for in situ (in the body) lead characteristic determination and in vivo (in the body) retrograde conduction time. It also tests the in vitro operation of pulse generators, but this is testing the device itself, not a biological sample.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its use during invasive procedures and for testing the electrical performance of the pacing system (pulse generator and leads).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The device interacts directly with the patient's electrical system and implanted/external devices.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The ERA 300's function is related to the performance and interaction of medical devices within the body, not the analysis of biological samples.

General Description:

The ERA 300 is a portable, dual chamber pacing system analyzer designed to test the electrical performance of the pulse generator and the pacing lead system or operate as a temporary external pulse generator at the time of pacemaker implantation and during invasive pacemaker troubleshooting or evaluation procedures. The ERA 300 utilizes a touch-proof configuration to help prevent hazardous connection between patients and electrical power sources.

Device Modification:

A plastic foil was applied to four sides of the battery in order to reduce movement of the battery within the compartment, thereby reducing the number of sudden power-offs of the ERA 300.
