Intended Use
The Powerheart ECD defibrillator system is intended to be used by personnel who have been trained in its operation. The Powerheart ECD is indicated for the termination of certain fatal arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation and symptomatic ventricular tachycardia. Delivery of energy in the synchronized mode is a method for treating atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, and in relatively stable patients, ventricular tachycardia. The semi-automatic advisory mode is for use in cardiac arrest in patients of at least 8 years of age. The patient must be unconscious, pulseless, and not breathing spontaneously before using the defibrillator to analyze the patient's ECG rhythm. The Powerheart ECD 3-lead and 5-lead ECG monitoring allows for identification or interpretation of cardiac rhythms or dysrhythmias and calculation of heart rate. The Powerheart ECD noninvasive pacing as a therapy is indicated for patients with symptomatic bradycardia or asystole. The Powerheart ECD pulse oximetry is intended for the continuous external monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate and is indicated for use in any patient who is at risk of developing hypoxemia.
Device Description
The Powerheart® ECD is a defibrillator/monitor/pacemaker intended for use by personnel trained in its operation. The device is lightweight, portable, easy to use and reliable. It incorporates a 320 x 240 transmissive TFT color display for wide viewing angles in all light conditions. The device operates using either an AC power supply or internal rechargeable Li-Ion battery. The device provides continuous ECG monitoring and three types of therapies: defibrillation, cardioversion and external pacing. Defibrillation can be applied manually or semi-automatically. Pacing therapy can be either fixed or demand. The device employs patented RHYTHMx® software which provides ECG rhythm analysis. STAR® Biphasic waveform delivers impedance-compensated energy ranging from 2-270 Joules. Features and options include external paddles, spoons, disposable pads, 3- and 5-lead ECG, pulse oximetry (SpO2), built-in 60 mm thermal printer, internal storage of event history and remote synchronization to bedside monitor.
More Information

No
The description mentions "patented RHYTHMx® software which provides ECG rhythm analysis" and "STAR® Biphasic waveform delivers impedance-compensated energy". While these involve algorithms and signal processing, there is no explicit mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like neural networks, deep learning, or training/test sets, which are typically associated with AI/ML in regulatory submissions. The rhythm analysis and impedance compensation are more likely based on traditional signal processing and rule-based algorithms.

Yes
The device delivers various therapies, including defibrillation, cardioversion, and external pacing, which are direct medical interventions used to treat specific conditions.

Yes

The device performs diagnostic functions such as analysis of the patient's ECG rhythm, identification or interpretation of cardiac rhythms or dysrhythmias, calculation of heart rate, and continuous external monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate.

No

The device description clearly states it is a defibrillator/monitor/pacemaker, which are hardware components. It also mentions a display, power supply, battery, paddles, spoons, pads, printer, and internal storage, all of which are hardware. While it mentions software (RHYTHMx®), the device itself is a physical medical device with integrated software, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, 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. They are used to examine specimens outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The Powerheart ECD is a defibrillator/monitor/pacemaker. Its primary functions involve:
    • Defibrillation/Cardioversion: Delivering electrical shocks to the body to correct heart rhythms.
    • ECG Monitoring: Measuring electrical activity of the heart from the body.
    • Pacing: Delivering electrical pulses to the heart through the body.
    • Pulse Oximetry: Measuring oxygen saturation and pulse rate from the body.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device does not analyze samples taken from the body. It interacts directly with the patient's body to monitor and treat cardiac conditions.

Therefore, the Powerheart ECD falls under the category of a therapeutic and monitoring medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

(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)

Dear Mr. Olson:

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.
