The Sentry AED is indicated for use on victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) when the patient is: - Unconscious and unresponsive . - Not breathing ● - At least eight vears old . The Sentry AED must be used by or on the order of a physician. The DDP-100 defibrillation pads are used in conjunction with the Defibtech Sentry semiautomatic external defibrillator and act as a conductive interface between the Sentry and the patient's skin. The disposable electrodes are non-sterile and for single patient use only. The pads are intended for external defibrillation and ECG monitoring in combination with a Defibtech defibrillator.
Device Story
Portable, battery-powered semiautomatic external defibrillator (AED) for use by or on order of physician. Inputs: ECG signals via two non-sterile, self-adhesive disposable defibrillation/monitoring pads. Device monitors pad-to-patient impedance to ensure contact. Operation: Device analyzes ECG to detect shockable rhythms; charges capacitor automatically if shockable rhythm identified; prompts operator via voice/visual indicators to press SHOCK button. Device does not shock automatically. Output: Biphasic truncated exponential waveform (150J into 50-ohm load). Records event data (ECG, audio) internally or on optional Defibtech Data Card (DDC). Benefits: Facilitates rapid defibrillation for SCA victims. Operator uses two buttons (ON/OFF, SHOCK) and LED indicators to manage therapy.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluations conducted per ANSI/AAMI DF39 (1993) and American Heart Association recommendations for arrhythmia analysis algorithm performance. No clinical trial data presented.
Technological Characteristics
Biphasic truncated exponential waveform; 150J energy output. Power: Lithium/Manganese Dioxide battery. Connectivity: Optional Defibtech Data Card (DDC) for event/audio recording. Interface: Voice prompts, visual LED indicators, two-button control. Electrodes: Non-sterile, single-use, self-adhesive pads. Standards: ANSI/AAMI DF39.
Indications for Use
Indicated for victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) who are unconscious, unresponsive, not breathing, and at least 8 years old. Contraindicated for patients who are conscious, responsive, breathing, have a detectable pulse, or are younger than 8 years old.
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.

## Device Description
The Sentry is a semiautomatic external defibrillator (AED) designed to be portable and battery powered. It has only two user controls: the ON/OFF and SHOCK buttons. Voice prompts and visual indicators provide a simple interface for the operator. The Sentry AED is capable of recording event information including ECG, audio data (optional) and SHOCK/NO SHOCK recommendations.
When connected to a patient who is unconscious and not breathing the Sentry AED performs the following tasks:
- . Prompts the operator to take necessary actions to enable analysis
- Automatically analyzes the patient's ECG ●
- Determines whether a shockable rhythm is present ●
- Charges the defibrillation capacitor if the rhythm is shockable .
{1}------------------------------------------------
- . Arms the SHOCK button and prompts the operator to press the SHOCK button when the device is ready and a shock is recommended
- Delivers a shock if the user presses the SHOCK button and the device has . determined that a shock is required
The Sentry AED will NOT shock a patient automatically; it will only advise the operator. The SHOCK button is only enabled when a shockable rhythm is detected and the device is charged and ready to shock. Charging occurs automatically when the device detects a shockable rhythm. The operator must press the SHOCK button to initiate deffbrillation.
The Sentry AED uses two non-sterile self-adhesive defibrillation/monitoring pads to monitor ECG signals and, if necessary, to deliver defibrillation energy to the patient. These pads (also known as electrodes) are provided as a single patient use, packaged, disposable assembly.
The Sentry AED determines proper pad-to-patient contact by monitoring the impedance between the two pads. Visual and audio prompts inform the operator of possible problems with patient contact. Voice prompts and visual indicators communicate the status of the AED and of the patient to the operator. The Sentry AED has two pushbutton controls and several LED indicators.
Defibrillation energy is delivered as a biphasic truncated exponential waveform. The device delivers 150 Joules into a 50-ohm load. Energy delivered does not change significantly with patient impedance. although the duration of the generated waveform will vary. The Defibtech AED is designed to deliver up to 150J of defibrillation energy through a patient impedance range of 25 - 150 ohms.
Defibrillation and AED operating power is supplied by a replaceable (non-rechargeable) Lithium/Manganese Dioxide Battery Pack. Battery Packs are available in several configurations that are optimized for use in specific applications. Each Pack is marked with an expiration date.
The Sentry AED records event documentation internally and optionally, on Defibtech Data Cards (DDC). The optional DDC enables the AED to record event documentation. and audio, if enabled. Audio recording is available only for units with Defibtech Data Cards installed. Event documentation stored internally can be downloaded onto a DDC for review.
## Intended Use
The Sentry AED is indicated for use on victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) when the patient is:
- Unconscious and unresponsive .
- Not breathing ●
- At least eight vears old .

The Sentry AED must be used by or on the order of a physician.
The DDP-100 defibrillation pads are used in conjunction with the Defibtech Sentry semiautomatic external defibrillator and act as a conductive interface between the Sentry and the patient's skin. The disposable electrodes are non-sterile and for single patient use only. The pads are intended for external defibrillation and ECG monitoring in combination with a Defibtech defibrillator.
#### Conclusion Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
Testing and performance evaluations demonstrate that the safety and effectiveness of the Defibtech Sentry is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Performance testing was performed in accordance with established industry standards (ANSI/AAMI DF39 -Automatic external defibrillators and remote-control defibrillators: 1993) and recommendations (American Heart Association - Automatic External Defibrillators for Public Access Defibrillation: Recommendations for Specifying and Reporting Arrhythmia Analysis Algorithm Performance, Incorporating New Waveforms and Enhancing Safety: October 1996).
