More Information

No
The description mentions a "diagnostic algorithm" for rhythm analysis, but there is no indication or mention of AI, ML, or related terms. The performance studies focus on compliance with established standards and equivalence to predicate devices, not on the performance of an AI/ML model.

Yes

The device is designed for emergency treatment of cardiac arrest by delivering a defibrillation shock to terminate potentially fatal arrhythmias, which definitively constitutes a therapeutic purpose.

Yes
The "Device Description" section states that "The device's diagnostic algorithm analyzes the patient's cardiac rhythm to determine shockable versus non-shockable EKG rhythm." This indicates its function involves diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components such as a battery, user button, LED panel, and voice prompts, and provides physical dimensions and weight. It also mentions hardware testing in the performance studies section.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

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 for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The FirstSave STAR Biphasic AED is a defibrillator. Its function is to deliver an electrical shock to the patient's chest to restore a normal heart rhythm. It analyzes the patient's cardiac rhythm in vivo (within the living body) using electrodes placed on the skin.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description clearly states the device analyzes the patient's cardiac rhythm directly. There is no mention of collecting or analyzing any specimens from the patient.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the FirstSave STAR Biphasic AED is a therapeutic device used for emergency treatment of cardiac arrest, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
