No
The device description and intended use clearly state that the device is a cable system for transmitting ECG signals. There is no mention of any processing, analysis, or interpretation of these signals using AI or ML. The performance studies focus on electrical and mechanical properties, not algorithmic performance.
No
The device is described as an accessory (ECG cables) to transmit signals from electrodes to a monitor/defibrillator for monitoring purposes, not to provide therapy itself.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section and "Device Description" explicitly state that the LIFEPAK ECG cables are "intended to transmit signals from patient electrodes to the LIFEPAK monitor/defibrillator for both diagnostic and monitoring purposes."
No
The device description clearly states that the LIFEPAK ECG cables are physical cables made of conductor wires, shielding, insulation, and a polyurethane jacket. These are hardware components, not software.
Based on the provided information, the LIFEPAK ECG cables are not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- LIFEPAK ECG Cable Function: The LIFEPAK ECG cables are described as reusable electrode cable systems intended to transmit signals from patient electrodes to a monitor/defibrillator for monitoring purposes. They are a physical connection between the patient's body surface and the device that interprets the electrical signals of the heart.
- No Specimen Analysis: The cables themselves do not analyze any biological specimens. They are simply conductors of electrical signals.
Therefore, the LIFEPAK ECG cables fall under the category of a medical device used for physiological monitoring, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The LIFEPAK ECG cables are an accessory designed to be used with Physio-Control LIFEPAK 35 monitor/defibrillator. The LIFEPAK ECG cables are intended for use by Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Basic Life Support (BLS) providers to transmit signals from patient electrodes to the LIFEPAK monitor/defibrillator for monitoring purposes.
The LIFEPAK ECG Cables are reusable ECG trunk cables and lead wires that connect to the LIFEPAK 35 monitor/defibrillator for ECG monitoring. There are several types or configurations of ECG cables: 3-wire, a 4-wire cable assembly to be used with the LIFEPAK 6-wire precordial cable and/or the LIFEPAK 3-wire precordial cable to perform a 12 or 15-lead ECG Cable assembly. When the LIFEPAK 4-wire ECG cable is configured with a 6-wire expandable precordial cable, a 12-lead ECG is constructed. Likewise, when the LIFEPAK 4-wire ECG cable is configured with a 6-wire expandable precordial cable and a 3-wire extended precordial ECG cable a 15-lead ECG is constructed.
The 4- wire ECG cable is available in two lengths, 5 feet or 8 feet. Additionally, the 3-, 4-, and 5-wire ECG Cables and the 6-wire precordial ECG cable are available with color coding according to the American Heart Association (AHA) or International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards.
The LIFEPAK ECG cables are a reusable electrode cable system intended to transmit signals from patient electrodes to the LIFEPAK 35 monitor/defibrillator for both diagnostic and monitoring purposes. These accessories consist of conductor wires that are shielded and insulated by a polyurethane jacket material. The lead wires are color coded according to which electrode location they are attached to on the patient.
The LIFEPAK ECG cables are not intended for use with other manufacturers' defibrillators. The LIFEPAK ECG cables are intended only for use with LIFEPAK 35 monitor/defibrillator.

8.0 Conclusion [21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)]:
The subject device and the predicate device have the same intended use, similar indications for use, same technological characteristics, and the subject device does not raise any new issues affecting safety or effectiveness of the device. A risk benefit assessment concluded that the benefits associated with the subject device do outweigh any potential risks. The subject device has passed all acceptance criteria for the non-clinical performance testing. Therefore, it was determined that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices identified in this submission.
