Intended Use

The Powerheart Cardiac Rhythm Module (CRM) is intended to acquire the ECG rhythm for the detection of, and to provide treatment for, ventricular tachyarrhythmias of patients who are at risk of sudden cardiac arrest. The device is intended to be used in medically supervised environments by trained personnel, in which patients are under the direct care of physicians and/or medical persons authorized by the state, province or country regulations in which they practice. The Powerheart CRM can be used in three modes: fully automatic mode, advisory mode or manual mode and includes a pacer which allows an operator to deliver external stimuli for temporary transcutaneous cardiac pacing. The Powerheart has previously undergone clinical testing on adults which support the safety and effectiveness of using the device on patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest who are at least 8 years of age. The device is not classified as a wearable external defibrillator and is not intended for use in the home environment.

Device Story

Compact, lightweight automatic external cardioverter defibrillator (AECD); monitors patient ECG rhythm; detects shockable ventricular tachyarrhythmias; provides biphasic truncated exponential waveform defibrillation therapy. Operates in three modes: fully automatic (auto-detection/shock), advisory (operator-triggered shock), and manual (operator-controlled energy/timing). Includes non-invasive external pacer for symptomatic bradycardia/asystole. Used in medically supervised clinical environments by trained medical personnel. Output displayed for clinician review to guide therapy delivery. Benefits include rapid intervention for sudden cardiac arrest and temporary pacing support.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance evaluated against ANSI/AAMI DF2 and DF39 requirements for cardiac defibrillators and AEDs. No new clinical data presented; relies on previous clinical testing on adults supporting safety/effectiveness for patients at least 8 years of age.

Technological Characteristics

Biphasic truncated exponential waveform defibrillator; non-invasive external pacer. Software-based arrhythmia detection. Modes: automatic, advisory, manual. Complies with ANSI/AAMI DF2 and DF39 standards.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients at least 8 years of age at risk of sudden cardiac arrest requiring detection and treatment of ventricular tachyarrhythmias, or temporary transcutaneous cardiac pacing for symptomatic bradycardia or asystole. For use in medically supervised environments by trained personnel.

Regulatory Classification

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.

### 10.6 Description of Device

The Powerheart Cardiac Rhythm Module (CRM) is a compact, lightweight, automatic external cardioverter defibrillator. It incorporates essential circuitry and software to provide a detection/analysis/defibrillation/pacing system, in a single device, for monitoring and providing therapy to patients at risk for Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

{1}------------------------------------------------

#### 10.7 Intended Use of Device

### Indication for Use:

The Powerheart Cardiac Rhythm Module (CRM) is intended to acquire the ECG rhythm for the detection of, and to provide treatment for, ventricular tachyarrhythmias of patients who are at risk of sudden cardiac arrest. The device is intended to be used in medically supervised environments by trained personnel, in which patients are under the direct care of physicians and/or medical persons authorized by the state, province or country regulations in which they practice. The Powerheart CRM can be used in three modes: fully automatic mode, advisory mode or manual mode and includes a pacer which allows an operator to deliver external stimuli for temporary transcutaneous cardiac pacing. The Powerheart has previously undergone clinical testing on adults which support the safety and effectiveness of using the device on patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest who are at least 8 years of age. The device is not classified as a wearable external defibrillator and is not in the home environment.

# Fully Automatic Mode

In this mode, the device continuously monitors the patient's ECG rhythm, detects shockable ventricular tachyarrhythmias and automatically provides defibrillation therapy for the treatment of sudden cardiac arrest.

### Advisory (AED) Mode

In this mode, the device continuously monitors the patient's ECG rhythm, detects shockable ventricular tachyarrhythmias and advises the operator to press the shock button to deliver defibrillation therapy for the treatment of sudden cardiac arrest.

### Manual Mode

In this mode, as is the case with all standard manual defibrillators, the operator manually selects the energy setting, manually selects the charge button, determines if the patient has a shockable ventricular tachyarrhythmia and decides when to manually deliver defibrillation therapy.

# Pacing

The device includes a non-invasive external pacer that allows a physician and/or trained medical person to provide temporary external cardiac pacing for patients with symptomatic bradycardia or asystole.

#### 10.8 Summary of Technological Characteristics

The Powerheart CRM utilizes an FDA-cleared and patented arrhythmia detection software that continuously monitors, detects and delivers therapy, according to physician-prescribed parameters, to patients experiencing ventricular tachyarrhythmias. The delivery output is an FDA-cleared, biphasic truncated exponential waveform, which the Powerheart CRM can transmit in one of three modes: Automatic, Advisory and Manual. The Powerheart CRM also provides non-invasive temporary cardiac pacing.

#### 10.9 Summary of Performance Data

The performance tests conducted on the Powerheart Cardiac Rhythm Module will follow the applicable portions of the ANSIAAMI DF2 and DF39 requirements for cardiac defibrillator devices and automatic external defibrillators to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the CRM device.

{2}------------------------------------------------

### 10.10 Conclusion

The performance tests conducted on the Powerheart CRM will be subjected to pre-determined pass criteria that will support claims of substantial equivalence.
