Intended Use

The Sterilizable Internal Defibrillation Paddles are intended for use with LIFEPAK defibrillators to internally detect ECG rhythm and provide defibrillation or synchronized cardioversion directly to the surgically exposed heart within a sterile use environment.

Defibrillation is indicated for the termination of certain potentially fatal arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation and symptomatic ventricular tachycardia.

Synchronized cardioversion is indicated for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, supraventricular tachycardia, and in relatively stable patients, ventricular tachycardia.

Device Description

The Sterilizable Internal Defibrillation Paddles is an accessory designed to be used with biphasic LIFEPAK defibrillator/monitors during open heart cardiac surgery. The Sterilizable Internal Defibrillation Paddles are intended for use by highly-trained medical professionals to internally detect electrocardiogram (ECG) rhythm and deliver internal defibrillation and synchronized cardioversion therapy directly to the surgically exposed heart. This accessory consists of metal paddle electrodes, and molded plastic handles with discharge control (located on the right handle) which connects directly to the defibrillator.

The Sterilizable Internal Defibrillation Paddles accessory requires sterilization before initial use and after each use, per the Sterilizable Internal Defibrillation Paddles Instructions for Use.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for Sterilizable Internal Defibrillation Paddles. It's important to clarify that this document is for a medical device (hardware), not an AI/ML algorithm. Therefore, many of the typical questions for AI/ML device acceptance criteria and study design (like ground truth, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, training/test set sizes) are not directly applicable in the same way.

Instead, the acceptance criteria for such a device typically revolve around demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, as well as meeting established safety and performance standards through design verification and validation.

However, I will extract the information that is comparable or relevant to your questions, and specify where the requested information is not applicable for this type of device.
