The batteries communicate with the ZOLL SurePower Charger Station over a serial communication interface utilizing the SMBus communications protocol.

The SurePower Single Bay Charger is a product line extension of the SurePower (four bay) Charger Station currently in production. The following is a comparison summary of the proposed ZOLL SurePower Single Bay Battery Charger when compared to the ZOLL SurePower Charger:

• The SurePower Single Bay Charger is a one bay version of the existing SurePower . Charger.
• The SurePower Single Bay Charger charges ZOLL Lithium Ion battery packs only . which includes the SurePower and SurePower II battery packs

This document describes a 510(k) submission for the ZOLL SurePower Single Bay Charger, a medical device for charging defibrillator batteries.

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document does not explicitly state numerical acceptance criteria in the typical sense for clinical performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy). Instead, the acceptance criterion for this product line extension is "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device.

The study concludes that "Performance and safety testing of the ZOLL SurePower Single Bay Charger demonstrates that its features and functions are substantially equivalent to those of the indicated commercially distributed predicate device with regard to performance, safety and effectiveness."

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

The document does not specify a distinct "test set" in terms of a clinical dataset for evaluating diagnostic or treatment performance. Instead, the performance testing described is likely a series of engineering and functional tests on the device itself and its interaction with the specified batteries. Therefore, specific sample sizes for a "test set" and data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective) are not applicable in the classical sense of clinical studies. The testing would have been conducted internally by ZOLL Medical Corporation.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications:

This information is not applicable. For a device like a battery charger, "ground truth" is established through engineering specifications, standards adherence, and direct measurement of electrical characteristics, not through expert consensus on medical images or patient outcomes.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

Not applicable. The "testing" involves functional and safety verification against engineering specifications and standards, not clinical adjudication.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done:

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is typically used for diagnostic devices where human readers interpret medical images or data, and the AI's impact on their performance is evaluated. A battery charger does not involve human interpretation or a diagnostic task that would necessitate an MRMC study.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was Done:

Yes, in a sense. The "performance testing" described for the ZOLL SurePower Single Bay Charger is inherently a standalone evaluation of the device's functionality, safety, and adherence to specifications without a "human-in-the-loop" component in the clinical interpretation sense. The device's algorithms for charging and monitoring batteries operate autonomously.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

The "ground truth" for this device would be:

• Engineering Specifications: The design and functional requirements for charging, recalibration, and battery compatibility.
• Industry and Safety Standards: Compliance with established electrical, safety, and performance standards relevant to medical device chargers (though specific standards are not listed in this summary, they are implied by the statement "Safety testing assures that the device complies with applicable sections of recognized industry and safety standards").
• Predicate Device Performance: The established performance characteristics of the ZOLL SurePower Charger (K060559) served as the benchmark for substantial equivalence.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

This information is not applicable. The ZOLL SurePower Single Bay Charger is a hardware device with embedded control logic, not a machine learning or AI algorithm that requires a "training set" of data in the typical sense for image analysis or prediction tasks. Its design and functionality are based on engineering principles and established protocols, not on learning from a dataset.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this type of device.
