Intended Use
The Metron U.S. OA-40M Defibrillator Analyzer is a precision instrument for testing defibrillators, and for ensuring that defibrillators comply with the specified requirements. The QA-40M tester is a device that is connected to the output of a defibrillator and is used to measure the energy delivered by the defibrillator into a standard resistive load and can also provide waveform information. The OA-40M test for ANSI/AAMI DF39 standards. The QA-40M Defibrillator Analyzer's main function is to measure the energy output of a defibrillator. The instrument has a built-in load resistance of 50 ohm, which roughly corresponds to the impedance of the human body. The defibrillator pads are placed on the OA-40M contact plates. Thus, the defibrillator is connected through load resistance, When the defibrillator is discharged. OA-40M will calculate and display the energy delivered. The OA-40M Defibrillator Analyzer performs the following tests and features (1) energy and cardioversion measurement, (2) peak voltage and current reading, (3) storage and playback of output waveform. (4) 12 lead ECG simulation. (5) ECG, performance and arrhythmia simulation, (6) transcutaneous cardiac pacemaker testing ( module is optional), (7) integrated pacemaker loads selectable from 50 ohm to 2500 ohm, (8) automatic defibrillator test procedures, (9) large graphic display and (10) RS-232C and Centronic printer interface.

No
The description focuses on standard electrical measurement and simulation functions for testing defibrillators, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis, interpretation, or decision-making.

No
This device is a defibrillator analyzer, used for testing and measuring the output of defibrillators. It does not directly provide therapeutic benefit to a patient.

No

The device is a defibrillator analyzer used for testing and ensuring compliance of defibrillators, not for diagnosing medical conditions in patients.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "precision instrument" with a "built-in load resistance," "contact plates," "large graphic display," and "RS-232C and Centronic printer interface," all of which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Metron U.S. OA-40M Defibrillator Analyzer is described as a precision instrument for testing defibrillators. It measures the energy output and waveform of a defibrillator.
  • Lack of Biological Specimen Interaction: The device connects to the output of a defibrillator and uses a resistive load to simulate the human body's impedance. It does not interact with or analyze any biological specimens from a human.

Therefore, its function is to test and analyze the performance of a medical device (a defibrillator), not to perform diagnostic tests on human samples.

Dear Mr. Quinn:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations. Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Eederal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
