Intended Use
The Pediatric Energy Reducer product is intended to be used to treat patients in cardiopulmonary arrest. It should only be used on patients who are unconscious, without a pulse and not breathing spontaneously. It is intended for use in either inhospital or out-of-hospital arrests. The Pediatric Energy Reducer is to be used only in conjunction with Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) and disposable electrode products marketed by Welch Allyn, or as formerly marketed by Medical Research Laboratories (MRL). The AED 10™ was formerly marketed as the MRL JumpStart and AED 20™ was formerly marketed as the MRL LifeQuest AEDefibrillator. The Pediatric Energy Reducer product is intended to be used to treat infants and children up to approximately 8 years of age or 25 kg (55 lbs) weight; therapy should not be delayed to determine the child's exact age or weight. It is intended to be used with normal (non-attenuating) adult electrodes on patients who are sufficiently large for the electrodes to be applied (in the anterior / posterior position), or with normal (non-attenuating) pediatric electrodes on smaller patients.
Device Description
The reusable Pediatric Energy Reducer products are small, lightweight, passive accessory devices for use with Welch Allyn automatic external defibrillators (AED). The Pediatric Energy Reducer product is inserted between the AED and suitable size non-attenuating defibrillation electrodes. The Pediatric Energy Reducer product attenuates the energy from the defibrillator by a factor of four, making the energy delivered to the electrodes suitable for use on pediatric patients. The Pediatric Energy Reducer product only affects the amplitude of the delivered waveform; the wave shape and arrhythmia detection algorithms are not affected by device use. The device consists of a resistive voltage divider circuit encapsulated in a protective plastic housing. Suitable connectors are provided to engage the Pediatric Energy Reducer to the AED and the electrodes to the Pediatric Energy Reducer.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description explicitly states it is a "passive accessory device" consisting of a "resistive voltage divider circuit" that only attenuates the energy amplitude. It also states that "arrhythmia detection algorithms are not affected by device use," indicating the core decision-making logic of the AED remains separate and is not modified or enhanced by this accessory. There is no mention of any computational or learning components.

Yes
The device is intended to treat patients in cardiopulmonary arrest by attenuating energy from a defibrillator, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is described as an "Energy Reducer" that attenuates the energy from a defibrillator. Its purpose is to deliver appropriate therapy, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "passive accessory device" consisting of a "resistive voltage divider circuit encapsulated in a protective plastic housing." This describes a hardware component, not software.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Pediatric Energy Reducer is a passive accessory device that modifies the electrical energy delivered by a defibrillator. It does not analyze or interact with biological samples from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to treat patients in cardiopulmonary arrest by adjusting the energy delivered during defibrillation, a direct medical intervention on the patient's body.

The device's function and intended use clearly fall outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Comparison: The Pediatric Energy Reducer product used in conjunction with non-attenuating defibrillation electrodes provides functionality equal to that of the predicate product. The two products use the same technology to provide the attenuation function. The only difference between the subject device and the predicate is that, where the predicate device incorporates the resistive attenuation circuit as part of the disposable electrode assembly, Welch Allyn provides the attenuator as a separate accessory. This facilitates the use of less costly nonattenuating electrodes for all patients, eliminating the potential to confuse attenuating electrodes with non-attenuating electrodes as well as the need to assure sufficient stock of the two styles of electrodes.

§ 870.5310 Automated external defibrillator system.

(a)
Identification. An automated external defibrillator (AED) system consists of an AED and those accessories necessary for the AED to detect and interpret an electrocardiogram and deliver an electrical shock (e.g., battery, pad electrode, adapter, and hardware key for pediatric use). An AED system analyzes the patient's electrocardiogram, interprets the cardiac rhythm, and automatically delivers an electrical shock (fully automated AED), or advises the user to deliver the shock (semi-automated or shock advisory AED) to treat ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia.(b)
Classification. Class III (premarket approval)(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of PDP is required. A PMA will be required to be submitted to the Food and Drug Administration by April 29, 2015, for any AED that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, by April 29, 2015, been found to be substantially equivalent to any AED that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. A PMA will be required to be submitted to the Food and Drug Administration by April 29, 2015, for any AED accessory described in paragraph (a) that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, by April 29, 2015, been found to be substantially equivalent to any AED accessory described in paragraph (a) that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other AED and AED accessory described in paragraph (a), shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
