Berkeley CA DCI Model EP-2 Clinical Stimulator {1}------------------------------------------------ ## 5.4 21 CFR 807.92 (a)(4) - Description of the Micropace model EPS320 The Micropace EPS320 Cardiac Stimulator (Clinical Stimulator) is an external programmable computerised diagnostic cardiac stimulator. It is used in specialised hospital electrophysiological diagnostic laboratories by specialist cardiologists to electrically stimulate the heart to initiate and terminate tachyarrhythmias and allow measurement of refractory and conduction properties of the heart by third party equipment. The EPS320 system consists of a Stimulus Generator Unit (SGU) comprising of a manufactured metal instrument case 12.25"(W) x 13.25"(D) x 3.5"(H) and a standard IBM clone type Personal Computer (PC), the two interconnected by a serial data connection. The device has two independent fully programmable and isolated constant current pulse generator channels intended for temporary programmacro and locativa third party transvenous intracardiac electrodes. The pacing stimulus is output via a Stimulus Connection Box and may typically be routed to the intravenous pacing electrodes via third party electronic switching equipment. During normal operation of the EPS320, custom software on the PC provides keyboard input device and a graphical user interface which the operator uses to control the stimulation process in real time. The custom PC software interprets the user instructions and sends specific real-time commands to the I he ousehi I O software and and to control its function and generate appropriate pacing stimulus pulses. The two isolated outputs can deliver stimulus pulse widths from 0.5ms to 10ms, adjustable in 0.5 to 1ms steps with current amplitudes adjustable from 0.1mA to 25mA in steps of 0.1mA. Current delivery is limited within the specified range by a maximum available output voltage of 26V. The EPS320 is not a life support device and may be used only in the presence of a backup cardiac THE LE SES IS .In case of failure of mains power supply, malfunction of the PC or its software, or loss of the data link, the SGU can operate independently of the PC in the Manual Backup mode, powered by an internal backup battery. This operational mode can provides regular pacing stimuli at intervals and pulse current amplitudes programmable from and displayed on the SGU's front panel. It may be used to briefly support a bradycardic patient until temporary external pacing is established using an approved temporary pacemaker. A secondary electrically self-contained Emergency Fixed Pace approved willing the front of the SGU may be used for the same purpose in case of loss of normal SGU function. The EPS320 is an expert-designed product, based upon the electrophysiological expertise of the cardiologist Managing Director and on extensive post market experience with an earlier EPS220 model in service in eight (8) Australian hospitals since 1995. The current and earlier EPS320 models have been in clinical use in more than 40 clinical centres predominantly in Australia, Europe and India, as well as in Turkey, Vietnam and China for up to 4 years without significant adverse effects. ## 5.5 21 CFR 807.92 (a)(5) - Statement of the Intended Use #### INTENDED USE: The EP320 stimulator is intended to be used for diagnostic electrical stimulation of the heart for the purpose of I it is 220 alimitation of tachyarrhythmias, refractory measurements and measurements of electrical conduction. {2}------------------------------------------------ # 5.6 21 CFR 807.92 (a)(6) - Summary of Technological differences This section compares the specifications and other relevant performance characteristics of the EPS320 and the predicate device, EP-2.

EPS320 is limited to ISI less 120 msec which is considered an enhanced safety feature whilst retaining equivalent operational effectiveness. | | 6 Reprogramm ed Protocols | No | EPS320 contains an equivalent protocol to all but 1 protocol in the EP-2, providing substantially equivalent functionality. One protocol, the Refractory Threshold protocol present in the EP-2 is no longer in common clinical use in the experience of the expert designer and was not included in the EPS320. | | Table 5.1 Section | Reduced safety or effectivene ss issues? | Is the EPS320 as safe and effective as the EP-2? (Rationale) | | 7 Programmab le Protocol keys | No | EPS320 implements programmability by storing and recalling complete stimulator set ups rather than individual dual protocols. The two approaches are basically functionally similar. | | 8 Number of Extrastimuli | No | The number of selectable extra stimuli is the same as the EP-2, dependant on the protocol selected. | | 9 Sensing (ECG synchronisati on | No | External ECG input range (mV) for the EPS320 is appropriate for common external ECG sources found in contemporary laboratories. | | | | Presence of pacing catheter tip sensing in EPS320 is considered an enhanced safety feature in providing an additional source of ECG trigger. | | | | Longer minimum lockout in EPS320 (50 vs. 10msec) is an enhanced safety feature reducing susceptibility to noise, without significant loss of functionality. Lockout period and ECG delay are substantially equivalent to the EP-2 | | 10 Additional Outputs: | No | Sync 3 output on the EPS320 provides essentially the same function as Stimulus Ch 'A' and Stimulus Ch 'B' outputs of the EPS320 | | | | There is no requirement for an auxiliary (printer) output on the EPS320 as it is connected to recording external systems. | | 11 Power Source | No | All components of the EPS320 system are powered from electrical mains power via an isolation transformer. The SGU is powered from this isolated mains by a 14.5V DC Power Supply Unit containing a transformer. The EPS320 system, including these accessories (isolation transformer and DC Power Supply Unit, have been subjected to appropriate electrical and safety tests (See appendix A1 and A2). | | | | Mains source of power was considered safer than a battery as it removes the possibility of lack of device availability due to depleted batteries. | | | | Batteries contained in the EPS320 are used solely under fault conditions. | | 12 Stimulation Module | No | Physical attributes of the EPS320 are substantially the same as the EP-2, whilst maintaining operational functionality in similar environment | | 13 Control Terminal | Yes | The Computer used with the EPS320 can have software files added by the operator creating potential for corruption of operating environment. To control this possibility, the EPS320 software checks for integrity of operating environment during startup. Other parameters are essentially equivalent as the EP-2 terminal. | | 14 Isolation Transformer | No | The Isolation transformer is essentially equivalent to that described in the EP-2 documentation. | | 15 Charger | No | The EPS320 does not require a separate battery charger. Batteries are not required for normal operation. | | 16 Environment | No | Environmental conditions are essentially equivalent as the EP-2. | | Table 5.2 Section | Reduced safety or effectiveness issues? | Is the EPS320 as safe and effective as the EP-2? (Rationale) | | 1. Hardware platform | Yes | Both devices have similar architectures, in that a microprocessor is used to control output pulse generation circuitry, and a physically separate computing device is used to provide user interface via a video display unit and a keyboard. The two devices differ predominantly in using different implementations to achieve similar functional requirements. The EP-2 used propriety microprocessor software whereas the EPS320 uses an 'open PC architecture' - a standard PC loaded with custom software. There will also be differences in software architectures and interface designs and implementations. The EPS320 system removes the danger of corruption of software environment from unauthorised addition of third party software or incorrect operating systems by verification of software environment and resource integrity prior to startup. The custom software is implemented on a stable DOS platform and its design is based on extensive risk analysis and subject to appropriate design control, verification and validation. The absolute safety and efficacy of the EPS320 hardware platform has been demonstrated in clinical practice and is thus at least equivalent to that of the predicate EP-2 device. | | 2. User interface | No | The user interface displays and input keyboards of the two devices are substantially functionally equivalent technologies. Software performance of the EPS320 is designed for user flexibility and ergonomy and while these performance features probably represent the main functional difference between the EPS320 and the predicate device they have limited impact on device safety. | | 3. ECG Sensing | No | Catheter-Tip IECG sensing: The predicate EP-2 can trigger only on an external ECG source, which is usually derived from third party equipment which amplifies the patient's intracardiac ECG (IECG) or surface ECG. The EPS320 contains an ECG amplifier connected to the pacing channel and can thus trigger on this IECG source or on an external ECG source. Balanced Charge Pacing: This feature refers to a configuration of IECG amplifier sensing between stimulation pulses to minimise electrical charge build up on the pacing electrodes. It has no impact on the stimulation pulse shape, amplitude or efficacy and thus has no performance or safety impact. | | 4. Device feedback to user | No | Open Pacing Circuit Warning: This feature indicates to the user when programmed stimulation current fails to be delivered to the patient. Stimulation impedance display: This feature displays to the user approximate stimulus-to-stimulus impedance of the stimulation circuit. Graphical display of ECG Trigger: This feature conveys to the user the quality of the ECG source used for Triggering. These features are safety enhancements over the predicate device EP-2. | | 5. Backup Pacing Circuits | No | The EPS320 has a Manual Backup operation mode which operates in the absence of a correctly functioning computer and allows user to perform simple stimulation tasks. The EPS320 also contains a separate, self-powered Emergency Fixed Pace circuit, capable of delivering pacing stimuli in the case of loss of function of the Stimulus Generator Unit. These functions are safety enhancements over the predicate device EP-2. | | 6. Stimulation Protocol Options | No | Both devices provide predominantly equivalent stimulation protocols with differences confined to issues hotkey and menu layout, ergonomy and user convenience. Below are representative examples. A-V Joined Pacing Stimulation: This stimulation allows simultaneous stimulation of both output channels for only some pacing stimuli in a pacing protocol and not others. Load_ATP - AICD-Style Overdrive Pacing: This additional protocol in the EPS320 is an automated combination of the Burst and Overdrive protocols in the predicate device. ECG trigger time out: In case of failure of arrival of a Trigger event, pacing will commence in any case after this period of time. On the fly programming of all parameters: All pacing parameters can be altered by hotkeys without stopping stimulation. Shortcut Keys: Various shortcut keys, different to the predicate device, are implemented to enhance efficiency of use. | {6}------------------------------------------------ Table 5-3 Rationale of the data in Table 5-1 {7}------------------------------------------------ The EPS320 and the predicate device are equivalent in performance characteristics other than specifications (see Table 5-2) for the following reasons: {8}------------------------------------------------ Version 5.5 Table 5-4 Rationale of the data in Table 5-2 #### 5.6.4 Conclusion The discussion above demonstrates that the EPS320 and the predicate device EP-2 posses similar architectural and functional characteristics, although differences exist in the specific technological implementation of some of the functional requirements. The EPS320, has demonstrably greater number of safety characteristics than the EP-2. ## 5.7 21 CFR 807.92 (b)(2) - Clinical comparison to the predicate device Not Applicable {9}------------------------------------------------ #### 5.8 21 CFR 807.92 (b)(3) - Clinical & non-clinical test conclusions Having analysed the characteristics that differ and those which are similar between the Model EP-2 and Model EPS320, we have concluded that, in our opinion: - The intended use of the EPS320 and EP-2 are the same. . - Safety of the EPS320 is as effective if not more effective than the predicate device. . - Differences between the systems are limited to the technological implementation of . equivalent functions, layout design and ergonomy of the user interface - The EPS320 is substantially equivalent to the EP-2 . . ## 5.9 21 CFR 807.92 (c) - 510(k) Summary Presentation of the 510[k] summary is considered compliant with the requirements of this section. {10}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/10/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
