More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a multi-functional vital signs monitor and defibrillator with added features like an AED mode and a 12-lead ECG interpretive algorithm. While the 12-lead analysis involves interpretation, the description does not mention AI or ML, and the device description focuses on standard medical device functions and algorithms.

Yes

The device includes therapeutic functions such as manual and semi-automatic defibrillation, and external transcutaneous pacing, which are used to treat cardiac conditions.

Yes

The device performs various monitoring functions, such as ECG monitoring, Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring, Temperature Monitoring, SpO2 Monitoring, Respiration Monitoring, CO2 Monitoring, Invasive Pressure Monitoring, and 12-Lead Analysis, all of which are used to gather data and assess a patient's medical condition. The 12-lead ECG Analysis specifically states it is "intended for use in acquiring, analyzing and reporting ECG data, and to provide interpretation of the data for consideration by caregivers." These functions clearly fall under the definition of diagnostic activities.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Propaq MD is a "light weight, portable device" that "combines the functions of an ECG monitor, manual defibrillator, external transcutaneous pacer, pulse oximeter, non-invasive blood pressure monitor, invasive pressure monitor, respiration rate monitor and temperature monitor." These are all hardware components, indicating it is not a software-only device. The submission describes adding "additional software features" to an existing hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to obtain information for diagnostic or monitoring purposes.
  • Propaq MD Functionality: The Propaq MD is a multi-functional device that directly monitors physiological parameters of the patient in vivo (within the living body). Its functions include:
    • ECG Monitoring
    • Manual and Semiautomatic Defibrillation
    • External Transcutaneous Pacing
    • Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring
    • Temperature Monitoring
    • SpO2 Monitoring
    • Respiration Monitoring
    • CO2 Monitoring
    • Invasive Pressure Monitoring
    • 12-Lead Analysis (analyzing ECG data acquired directly from the patient)

None of these functions involve the examination of specimens taken from the body. The device interacts directly with the patient to acquire data.

Therefore, the Propaq MD falls under the category of a medical device used for monitoring, treatment, and diagnosis based on direct physiological measurements, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

2

The following indications for use are identical to the previous configuration of the Propaq MD (reviewed and cleared by the FDA under application K100654):

Manual Defibrillation

Use of the Propaq MD in the manual mode for external and internal defibrillation is indicated on victims of cardiac arrest where there is apparent lack of circulation as indicated by:

  • . Unconsciousness
  • Absence of breathing .
  • 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.

The unit can also be used for synchronized cardioversion of certain atrial or ventricular arrhythmias. Qualified medical personnel must decide when synchronized cardioversion is appropriate.

The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.

ECG Monitoring

The Propaq MD is intended for use to monitor and/or record 3, 5, 12-Lead ECG waveform and heart rate, and to alarm when heart rate is above or below limits set by the operator. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult, with and without heart dysfunction.

External Transcutaneous Pacing

This product can be used for temporary external cardiac pacing in conscious or unconscious patients as an alternative to endocardial stimulation.

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, quinidline, 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:

3

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.

Pediatric Pacing: .

Pacing can be performed on pediatric patients weighing 33 lbs. (15kg) or less using ZOLL pediatric hands-free therapy electrode pads. Prolonged pacing (in excess of 30 minutes), particularly in neonates, could cause burns. Periodic inspection of the underlying skin is recommended.

Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring

The Propaq MD is intended for use to make non-invasive measurements of arterial pressure and heart rate, and to alarm if either parameter is outside of the limits set by the user. Measurements are made using an inflatable cuff on the patient's arm or leg. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.

Temperature Monitoring

The Propaq MD is intended for use to make continuous temperature measurements of rectal, esophageal, or surface temperatures, and to alarm if the temperature is outside of the limits set by the user. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.

SpO2 Monitoring

The Propaq MD is intended for use to monitor pulse rate and oxygen saturation of arteriolar hemoglobin, and to alarm if either parameter is outside of the limits set by the user. Measurements are made non-invasively at remote sites such as a finger, toe, ear lobe, bridge of nose, etc. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.

4

Respiration Monitoring

The Propaq MD is intended for use to continuously monitor respiration rate and to alarm if the rate falls outside of the range set by the operator. Because the measurement method actually measures respiratory effort, apnea episodes with continued respiratory effort (such as obstructive apnea) may not be detected. It is not intended to be used as an apnea monitor. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.

CO2 Monitoring

The Propaq MD is intended for use to make continuous noninyasive measurement and monitoring of carbon dioxide concentration of the expired and inspired breath and respiration rate. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.

Invasive Pressure Monitoring

The Propaq MD is intended for use to display and make continuous invasive pressure measurements from any compatible pressure transducer. The primary intended uses are arterial blood pressure, central venous pressure and intracranial pressure monitoring. Any contra-indications of the particular transducer selected by the user shall apply. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.

The following indications for use represent additional features being added in the proposed Propaq MD configuration:

Semiautomatic Operation (AED)

The Propaq MD products are 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 Propaq MD in the Semiautomatic mode for defibrillation is indicated on victims of cardiac arrest where there is apparent lack of circulation as indicated by:

  • · Unconsciousness.
  • · Absence of breathing.
  • · Absence of pulse.

5

When the patient is less than 8 years of age or weighs less that 55 lbs. (25 Kg), use ZOLL pediatric defibrillation electrodes. Do not delay therapy to determine patient's exact age or weight.

12-Lead Analysis

The 12-lead ECG Analysis is intended for use in acquiring, analyzing and reporting ECG data, and to provide interpretation of the data for consideration by caregivers. The interpretations of ECG data offered by the device are only significant when used in conjunction with caregiver overread as well as consideration of all other relevant patient data. The 12-lead ECG Analysis is intended for use on adults (> 18 years of age).

Substantial Equivalence:

The proposed ZOLL Propaq MD is substantially equivalent to the features and functions of the predicate units: ZOLL Propaq MD (K100654), ZOLL E Series (K072923) and Inovise Audicor 12-lead Interpretive algorithm (K032145).

Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The proposed ZOLL Propaq MD utilizes the same features and functions as the indicated predicate devices: ZOLL Propaq MD (K100654), ZOLL E Series (K072923) and Inovise Audicor 12-lead Interpretive algorithm (K032145).

Performance Testing:

Semiautomatic Operation (AED)

The Propaq MD products are 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 Propaq MD in the Semiautomatic mode for defibrillation is indicated on victims of cardiac arrest where there is apparent lack of circulation as indicated by:

  • · Unconsciousness.
  • · Absence of breathing.
  • Absence of pulse.

When the patient is less than 8 years of age or weighs less that 55 Ibs. (25 Kg), use ZOLL pediatric defibrillation electrodes. Do not delay therapy to determine patient's exact age or weight.

ECG Monitoring

The Propag MD is intended for use to monitor and/or record 3, 5, 12-Lead ECG waveform and heart rate, and to alarm when heart rate is above or below limits set by the operator. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult, with and without heart dysfunction.

External Transcutaneous Pacing

This product can be used for temporary external cardiac pacing in conscious or unconscious patients as an alternative to endocardial stimulation.

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, quinidline, 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, 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.

· Pediatric Pacing:

Pacing can be performed on pediatric patients weighing 33 Ibs. (15kg) or less using ZOLL pediatric hands-free therapy electrode pads. Prolonged pacing (in excess of 30 minutes), particularly in neonates, could cause burns. Periodic inspection of the underlying skin is recommended.

Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring

The Propaq MD is intended for use to make non-invasive measurements of arterial pressure and heart rate, and to alarm if either parameter is outside of the limits set by the user. Measurements are made using an inflatable cuff on the patient's arm or leg. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.

Temperature Monitoring

The Propaq MD is intended for use to make continuous temperature measurements of rectal, esophageal, or surface temperatures, and to alarm if the temperature is outside of the limits set by the user. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.

Sp02 Monitoring

The Propaq MD is intended for use to monitor pulse rate and oxygen saturation of arteriolar i hemoglobin, and to alarm if either parameter is outside of the limits set by the user. Measurements are made non-invasively at remote sites such as a finger, toe, ear lobe, bridge of nose, etc. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.

11

Respiration Monitoring

The Propag MD is intended for use to continuously monitor respiration rate and to alarm if the rate falls outside of the range set by the operator. Because the measurement method actually measures respiratory effort, apnea episodes with continued respiratory effort (such as obstructive apnea) may not be detected. It is not intended to be used as an apnea monitor. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.

CO2 Monitoring

The Propaq MD is intended for use to make continuous noninvasive measurement and monitoring of carbon dioxide concentration of the expired and inspired breath and respiration rate. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult. .

Invasive Pressure Monitoring

The Propaq MD is intended for use to display and make continuous invasive pressure measurements from any compatible pressure transducer. The primary intended uses are arterial blood pressure, central venous pressure and intracranial pressure monitoring. Any contra-indications of the particular transducer selected by the user shall apply. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.

12-Lead Analysis

The 12-lead ECG Analysis is intended for use in acquiring, analyzing and reporting ECG data, and to provide interpretation of the data for consideration by caregivers. The interpretations of ECG data offered by the device are only significant when used in conjunction with caregiver overread as well as consideration of all other relevant patient data. The 12-lead ECG Analysis is intended for use on adults (> 18 years of age).
