No
The document describes an "Advisory Algorithm" for ECG analysis, but there is no mention of AI or ML techniques being used in this algorithm or any other part of the device. The focus is on standard signal processing and rule-based logic for determining shockable rhythms.
Yes.
The device performs defibrillation and noninvasive transcutaneous pacing, which are direct medical interventions used to treat conditions like cardiac arrest and heart rhythm abnormalities.
Yes
The device is intended for multi-parameter monitoring of patient vital signs including ECG, Pulse Oximetry, end tidal CO2, 12-Lead ECG, and non-invasive blood pressure measurement. It also has an Advisory Algorithm to determine if a heart rhythm is shockable or non-shockable, which involves analyzing patient data to aid in diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "External Defibrillator" and describes hardware components like paddles, disposable pads, and a sensor assembly for CPR feedback. It also mentions delivering energy (joules) and performing pacing, which are hardware-dependent functions.
Based on the provided text, the ZOLL E Series External Defibrillator is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Definition of IVD: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- ZOLL E Series Function: The ZOLL E Series is used for direct patient monitoring and therapy delivery (defibrillation, pacing, CPR assistance). It measures physiological parameters directly from the patient's body (ECG, SpO2, EtCO2, NIBP) and delivers electrical therapy. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
The device's intended use and functions clearly fall under the category of a patient-contacting medical device for monitoring and treatment, not an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The ZOLL E Series External Defibrillator is indicated for the defibrillation, Noninvasive Transcutaneous Pacing and multi-parameter monitoring of patient vital signs, including: ECG Monitoring, Pulse Oximetry, end tidal CO2, 12-Lead ECG monitoring, non-invasive blood pressure measurement, CPR performance and data printing and recording for resting patients in critical care and transport. The ZOLL E Series is intended for use by qualified medical personnel who are trained and authorized to respond to medical emergencies, to facilitate the ability to monitor and assess the physiological characteristics of the indicated patients in a critical care environment.
Defibrillator Function
The E Series products contain a DC defibrillator capable of delivering up to 200 joules of energy. It may be used in synchronized mode to perform synchronized cardioversion by using the R-wave of the patient's ECG as a timing reference. The unit uses paddles or disposable, pre-gelled, MFE Pads for defibrillation.
The E Series products must be prescribed for use by a physician or medical advisor of an emergecy response team.
Intended Use - Manual Operation
Use of the E Series products in the manual mode for defibrillation is indicated on victims of cardiac arrest where there is apparent lack of circulation as indicated by these three conditions:
- Unconsciousness
- Absence of breathing, and
- Absence of pulse.
This product should be used only by qualified medical personnel for converting ventricular fibrillation and rapid ventricular tachycardia to sinus rhythm or other cardiac rhythms capable of producing hemodynamically significant heart beats.
In manual mode, the E Series unit may also be used for synchronized cardioversion to terminate atrial fibrillation (AF) or ventricular tachycardias (VT) by using the R-wave of the patient's ECG as a timing reference. A qualified physician must decide when synchronized cardioversion is appropriate.
The advisory function should be used to confirm ventricualr fibrillation and wide complex ventricular tachycardia (greater than 150 beats per minute) in patients meeting the three conditions indicating lack of circulation (previously listed).
Intended Use - Semiautomatic Operation (AED)
The E Series AED unit is designed for use by emergency care personnel who have completed training and certification requirements applicable to the use of a defibrillator where the device operator controls delivery of shocks to the patient.
They are specifically designed for use in early defibrillation programs where the delivery of a defibrillator shock during resuscitation involving CPR, transportation, and definitive care are incorporated into a medically-approved patient care protocol.
Use of the device in the Semiautomatic mode for defibrillation is indicated on victims of cardiac arrest where there is apparent lack of circulation.
Intended Use - CPR Monitoring
The CPR monitoring function provides visual and audio feedback designed to encourage rescuers to perform chest compressions at the AHA/ERC recommended rate of 100 compressions per minute. Voice and visual prompts encourage a compression depth of 1.5 to 2 inches (3.8 to 5.0 cm) for adult patients.
The CPR monitoring function is not intended for use on patients under 8 years of age.
External Pacemaker (Pacer Version Only)
Intended Use - Pacemaker
This product may be used for temporary external cardiac pacing in conscious or unconscious patients as an alternative to endocardial stimulation.
Note: This device must not be connected to internal pacemaker electrodes.
The purposes of pacing include:
Resuscitation from standstill or bradycardia of any etiology:
Noninvasive pacing has been used for resuscitation from cardiac standstill, reflex vagal standstill, drug induced standstill (due to procainamide, quinidine, digitalis, b- blockers, verapamil, etc.) and unexpected circulatory arrest (due to anesthesia, surgery, angiography, and other therapeutic or diagnostic procedures). It has also been used for temporary acceleration of bradycardia in Stokes-Adams disease and sick-sinus syndrome. It is safer, more reliable, and more rapidly applied in an emergency than endocardial or other temporary electrodes.
As a standby when standstill or bradycardia might be expected:
Noninvasive pacing may be useful as a standby when cardiac arrest or symptomatic bradycardia might be expected due to acute myocardial infarction, drug toxicity, anesthesia or surgery. It is also useful as a temporary treatment in patients awaiting pacemaker implants or the introduction of transvenous therapy. In standby pacing applications, noninvasive pacing may provide an alternative to transvenous therapy that avoids the risks of displacement, infection, hemorrhage, embolization, perforation, phlebitis and mechanical or electrical stimulation of ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation associated with endocardial pacing.
Suppression of tachycardia:
Increased heart rates in response to external pacing often suppress ventricular ectopic activity and may prevent tachycardia.
Monitor
Intended-Use Multi-parameter Monitoring
This product may be used for monitoring various patient vital signs, including: electrocardiogram (ECG), Pulse Oximetry (SpO2), End Tidal CO2, 12-Lead ECG, and Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP).
ECG monitoring is performed by connecting the patient to the unit via the 3 or 5 lead patient cable. MFE Pads, or through the paddles.
SpO2 monitoring is indicated for detecting arterial oxygen saturation of blood and pulse rate for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients who are well or poorly perfusing, during both no motion and patient motion conditions.
EtCO2 monitoring is indicated for the continuous measurement of end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) and respiration rate for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients.
12 Lead ECG analysis is indicated for the diagnosis and treatment of adult and pediatric patients with acute myocardial infarction or other cardiac arrhythmias.
NIBP monitoring is indicated for the measurement of arterial blood pressure for resting adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients.
