Intended Use
The Powerheart® AED G3 family of devices is intended to be used by personnel who have been trained in its operation. The user should be qualified by training in basic life support or other physician-authorized emergency medical response. The device is indicated for emergency treatment of victims exhibiting symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest who are unresponsive and not breathing. Post-resuscitation, if the victim is breathing, the AED should be left attached to allow for acquisition and detection of ECG rhythm. If a shockable ventricular tachyarrhythmia recurs, the device will change automatically and advise the operator to deliver therapy (G3) or automatically deliver the charge (G3 Automatic). When the patient is a child or infant up to 8 years of age, or up to 55 lbs (25kg), the device should be used with the Model 9730 Pediatric Attenuated Defibrillation Electrodes. The therapy should not be delayed to determine the patient's exact age or weight. Additional information exclusive to the Powerheart® AED G3 Pro, Model 9300P: At the discretion of emergency care personnel, the G3Pro with ECG display enabled can also be used with Model 5111 ECG Patient Cable to display the rhythm of a responsive or breathing patient, regardless of age. The G3Pro and ECG Patient Cable system provides a non-diagnostic display for attended patient monitoring. While connected the G3Pro ECG Patient Cable, the G3Pro evaluates the patient's ECG and disables its shock capability.
Device Description
The Powerheart® AED G3 family of devices (Model numbers 9300A/E, model numbers 9390A/E, and model number 9300P) are portable, battery operated, automatic or semi-automatic, automated external defibrillators (AED). After applying the AED electrodes (pads) to the patient's bare chest, the AED automatically analyzes the patient's electrocardiogram (EGG) and guides the operator through the rescue using a combination of voice prompts, audible alerts, and visible indicators. For the Powerheart® AED G3 Automatic, the AED automatically delivers a shock if needed. For the Powerheart® AED G3 Semi-automatic, the AED uses one button and advises the operator to press the button and deliver a shock if needed. The Powerheart® AED G3 family of devices includes a periodic automatic self-test feature. The focus of this submission is a software modification to enhance the detection capability of the device self-test feature.
More Information

No
The document describes standard AED functionality including ECG analysis and self-testing, with a software modification focused on enhancing the self-test feature. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for diagnosis, treatment decisions, or any other function beyond basic signal processing and device self-checks.

Yes
The device is an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) indicated for emergency treatment of sudden cardiac arrest, which delivers therapy (electrical shock) to restore normal heart rhythm.

No

The Powerheart® AED G3Pro, when used with the ECG Patient Cable, provides a "non-diagnostic display for attended patient monitoring," explicitly stating that this function is not for diagnosis. The primary function of the AED is emergency treatment (defibrillation) and analysis of ECG for shock advisement, not diagnosis of conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Powerheart® AED G3 family of devices are "portable, battery operated, automatic or semi-automatic, automated external defibrillators (AED)". This indicates a physical hardware device, not software only. The submission focuses on a software modification to an existing hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The description of the Powerheart® AED G3 family of devices clearly states that it analyzes the patient's electrocardiogram (ECG) by applying electrodes to the patient's bare chest. This is a direct measurement from the patient, not an analysis of a specimen taken from the patient.
  • The intended use is for emergency treatment of sudden cardiac arrest. This is a therapeutic intervention based on real-time physiological data, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • The device description focuses on analyzing the patient's ECG and delivering electrical therapy. This aligns with the function of a defibrillator, not an IVD.
  • The mention of the ECG Patient Cable for the G3Pro is for "non-diagnostic display for attended patient monitoring." This explicitly states that this function is not for diagnostic purposes.

Therefore, the Powerheart® AED G3 family of devices, as described, falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, specifically an automated external defibrillator (AED), rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Dear Ms. Roberts:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III(PMA), it may be subject to 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.

If a shockable ventricular tachyarrhythmia recurs, the device will change automatically and advise the operator to deliver therapy (G3) or automatically deliver the charge (G3 Automatic).

When the patient is a child or infant up to 8 years of age, or up to 55 lbs (25kg), the device should be used with the Model 9730 Pediatric Attenuated Defibrillation Electrodes. The therapy should not be delayed to determine the patient's exact age or weight.

Additional information exclusive to the Powerheart® AED G3 Pro, Model 9300P:

At the discretion of emergency care personnel, the G3Pro with ECG display enabled can also be used with Model 5111 ECG Patient Cable to display the rhythm of a responsive or breathing patient, regardless of age. The G3Pro and ECG Patient Cable system provides a non-diagnostic display for attended patient monitoring. While connected the G3Pro ECG Patient Cable, the G3Pro evaluates the patient's ECG and disables its shock capability.
