No
The document describes an "Advisory Algorithm" for analyzing ECG signals, but it does not mention AI, ML, or any related technologies. The description of the algorithm's function (determining shockable vs. non-shockable rhythms) is consistent with traditional signal processing and rule-based algorithms commonly found in defibrillators.
Yes
The device is a therapeutic device because its intended uses include defibrillation (delivering up to 200 joules of energy to convert ventricular fibrillation and rapid ventricular tachycardia to sinus rhythm or other cardiac rhythms) and external cardiac pacing (resuscitation from standstill or bradycardia, or suppression of tachycardia). Both actions directly treat a medical condition.
Yes
The device is described as a "multi-parameter monitoring" device capable of monitoring various patient vital signs including ECG, Pulse Oximetry (SpO2), End Tidal CO2, 12-Lead ECG, and Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP). It also states that 12 Lead ECG analysis is "indicated for the diagnosis and treatment" of cardiac conditions, and the Advisory Algorithm determines if a rhythm is "shockable or non-shockable." These functions are diagnostic in nature.
No
The device description clearly states it is an "External Defibrillator" and describes hardware components like paddles, MFE Pads, patient cables, and the ability to deliver electrical energy (joules). It also mentions physical actions like CPR compressions being monitored. This indicates it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a patient's health.
- This device is a defibrillator, pacemaker, and multi-parameter monitor. Its functions involve:
- Delivering electrical shocks to the heart (defibrillation and pacing).
- Monitoring physiological signals directly from the patient's body (ECG, SpO2, EtCO2, NIBP).
- Providing feedback on CPR performance.
None of these functions involve the analysis of biological samples in vitro. The device interacts directly with the patient's body or monitors signals generated by the body.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
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 emergency 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 ventricular 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.
External Pacemaker Function (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.
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, bblockers, 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, bradyourdia might be on in many treatment in patients awaiting ancemaker implants or the introduction of transvenous therapy. In standby pacing publications, 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 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.

Substantial Equivalence:
The features and functions of the enhancement to the ZOLL E Series are substantially equivalent to those of the Philips Medical Systems HeartStart FR2+ AED: 510(k) No. K051632, cleared 10/05/2005.
Indications for Use:
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.

Use of the device in the Semiautomatic mode for defibrillation is indicated on victims of cardiac arrest where there is apparent lack of circulation.
2
Specifications for the ECG rhythm analysis function are provided at the end of this section.
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.
Contraindications for Semiautomatic Operation
Do not use the unit's AED function on patients under 8 years of age.
The rhythm analysis function may not reliably identify ventricular fibrillation in the presence of an implanted pacemaker. Inspection of the electrocardiogram and clinical evidence of cardiopulmonary arrest should be the basis for any treatment of patients with implanted pacemakers.
Do not use the rhythm analysis function during patient movement on a stretcher or in an ambulance or other conveyance. A patient must be motionless during ECG analysis. Do not touch the patient during analysis. Cease all movement of the stretcher or vehicle prior to analyzing the ECG. If you are using the device in an emergency vehicle, bring the vehicle to a halt before activating the analysis function.
Defibrillator Complications
Inappropriate defibrillation or cardioversion of a patient (e.g., with no malignant arrhythmia) may precipitate ventricular fibrillation, asystole, or other dangerous arrhythmias.
Defibrillation without proper application of electrode pads or paddle electrolyte gel may be ineffective and cause burns, particularly when repeated shocks are necessary. Erythema or hyperemia of the skin under the paddles or MFE Pads often occurs; this effect is usually enhanced along the perimeter of the paddle or electrode. This reddening should diminish substantially within 72 hours.
Defibrillator Output Energy
The E Series products may deliver up to 200 joules into a 50 ohm impedance. The energy delivered through the chest wall, however, is determined by the patients transthoracic impedance. An adequate amount of electrolyte gel must be applied to the paddles and a force of 10-12 kilograms (22-26.4 Ibs) must be applied to each paddle in order to minimize this impedance. If MFE pads are used, make sure that they are properly applied. (Instructions for proper application are located in "MFE Pad Application/Connection" on page 1-9.
External Pacemaker Function (Pacer version only)
Some E Series products may include an optional transcutaneous demand pacemaker consisting of a pulse generator and ECG sensing circuitry. Non-invasive Transcutaneous Pacing (NTP) is an established and proven technique. This therapy is easily and rapidly applied in both emergency and non-emergency situations when temporary cardiac stimulation is indicated.
3
Proper operation of the device, together with correct electrode placement, is critical to obtaining optimal results. Every operator must be thoroughly familiar with these operating instructions.
The output current of the pacemaker is continuously variable from 0 to 140 mA. The rate is continuously variable from 30 to 180 pulses per minute (ppm).
The pacing output pulse is delivered to the heart by specially designed ZOLL MFE Pads placed on the back and the precordium.
The characteristics of the output pulse, together with the design and placement of the electrodes, minimize cutaneous nerve stimulation, cardiac stimulation threshold currents, and reduce discomfort due to skeletal muscle contraction.
The unique design of the E Series products allow clear viewing and interpretation of the electrocardiogram (ECG) on the display without offset or distortion during external pacing.
Intended Use - Pacemaker
This product may be used for temporary external cardiac pacing in conscious or unconscious patients as an alternative to endocardial stimulation.
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, bblockers, 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, bradyourdia might be on in many treatment in patients awaiting ancemaker implants or the introduction of transvenous therapy. In standby pacing publications, 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.
Pacemaker Complications
4
Ventricular fibrillation does not respond to pacing and requires immediate defibrillation. Therefore, the patient's dysrhythmia must be determined immediately, so that you can employ appropriate therapy. If the patient is in ventricular fibrillation and defibrillation is successful but cardiac standstill (asystole) ensues, you should use the pacemaker.
Ventricular or supraventricular tachycardias may be interrupted with pacing but in an emergency or during circulatory collapse, synchronized cardioversion is faster and more certain. (See " "Synchronized Cardioversion" on page 6-1).
Electromechanical dissociation may occur following prolonged cardiac arrest or in other disease states with myocardial depression. Pacing may then produce ECG responses without effective mechanical contractions, and other treatment is required.
Pacing may evoke undesirable repetitive responses, tachycardia, or fibrillation in the presence of generalized hypoxia, myocardial ischemia, cardiac drug toxicity, electrolyte imbalance, or other cardiac diseases.
Pacing by any method tends to inhibit intrinsic rhythmicity. Abrupt cessation of pacing, particularly at rapid rates, can cause ventricular standstill and should be avoided.
Noninvasive Temporary Pacing may cause discomfort of varying intensity, which occasionally can be severe and preclude its continued use in conscious patients.
Similarly, unavoidable skeletal muscle contraction may be troublesome in very sick patients and may limit continuous use to a few hours. Erythema or hyperemia of the skin under the MFE Pads often occurs; this effect is usually enhanced along the perimeter of the electrode.
Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The ZOLL E Series design characteristics have not been changed from those, which were reviewed and cleared by FDA under premarket notification 510(k) K070455. The ZOLL E Series acquires and analyzes ECG signals and provides shock advisory determinations using methods that are very similar to the predicate Philips Medical Systems HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator.
Performance Testing:
Extensive performance testing ensures that the ZOLL E Series Defibrillator meets all of its functional requirements and performance specifications. Safety meets an of its families with applicable sections of recognized industry and safety standards.
Conclusion
Performance and safety testing of the ZOLL E Series Defibrillator demonstrates that its features, functions and incorporated interpretive algorithm are that 163 fourales, fantalen that of the indicated commercially distributed predicate devices with regard to performance, safety and effectiveness.

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.
