No
The description mentions "automated ECG analysis" but does not use terms like AI, ML, or deep learning, which are typically associated with modern AI/ML implementations in medical devices. The technology described appears to be a traditional algorithm for rhythm analysis, common in defibrillators for decades.
Yes
The device is used for emergency treatment of patients in cardiac arrest, delivering defibrillation shocks to restore normal cardiac rhythm. This direct intervention to treat a medical condition classifies it as a therapeutic device.
Yes
The device performs automated ECG analysis to detect a shockable rhythm, which is a diagnostic function. Additionally, it can be used as a standard cardiac monitor for manual ECG assessment.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "portable external cardiac defibrillator," which is a hardware device. While it includes software for ECG analysis and mode selection, it is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the emergency treatment of patients in cardiac arrest by delivering a defibrillation shock. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device analyzes ECG signals to determine if a shockable rhythm is present and delivers an electrical shock. While it analyzes a physiological signal (ECG), it does not analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) which is a key characteristic of IVDs.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.
Therefore, the LIFEPAK 300 is a therapeutic medical device, specifically an external cardiac defibrillator, and not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
For emergency treatment of patients in cardiac arrest who are unconscious and lack pulse and spontaneous breath. The device may be used for automated ECG analysis or, alternatively as a standard cardiac monitor for manual BCG assessment.

Device Description
The LIFEPAK 300 is a portable external cardiac defibrillator. It can operate in either the semi-automated mode or the manual mode. A lesser trained emergency responder such as an EMT can use the device in the semi automated mode; the device analyzes the cardiac rhythm and indicates "shock advised" if it detects a shockable rhythm. If the device is in the manual mode a person trained in cardiac rhythm interpretation, such as a paramedic, can deliver a defibrillation shock without relying on the automated analysis of the device.

§ 870.5310 Automated external defibrillator system.
(a)
Identification. An automated external defibrillator (AED) system consists of an AED and those accessories necessary for the AED to detect and interpret an electrocardiogram and deliver an electrical shock (e.g., battery, pad electrode, adapter, and hardware key for pediatric use). An AED system analyzes the patient's electrocardiogram, interprets the cardiac rhythm, and automatically delivers an electrical shock (fully automated AED), or advises the user to deliver the shock (semi-automated or shock advisory AED) to treat ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia.(b)
Classification. Class III (premarket approval)(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of PDP is required. A PMA will be required to be submitted to the Food and Drug Administration by April 29, 2015, for any AED that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, by April 29, 2015, been found to be substantially equivalent to any AED that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. A PMA will be required to be submitted to the Food and Drug Administration by April 29, 2015, for any AED accessory described in paragraph (a) that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, by April 29, 2015, been found to be substantially equivalent to any AED accessory described in paragraph (a) that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other AED and AED accessory described in paragraph (a), shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
