Indications for Use
The ZOLL Autoclavable Internal Handles are to be used with interchangeable electrodes and a manually operated ZOLL Defibrillator to defibrillation therapy directly to the heart during surgical procedures. When used with a ZOLL Defibrillator equipped with an advisory or ECG analysis feature. the ZOLL Autoclavable Internal Handles allows the defibrillator to operate only as a manual device. The ZOLL Autoclavable Internal Handles are intended for use by or under the direction of a physician. The ZOLL Autoclavable Internal Handles with Integrated Electrodes are to be used with a manually operated ZOLL Defibrillator to provide defibrillation therapy directly to the heart during surgical procedures. When used with a ZOLL Defibrillator equipped with an advisory or ECG analysis feature, the ZOLL Autoclavable Internal Handles with Integrated Electrodes allows the defibrillator to operate only as a manual device. The ZOLL Autoclavable Internal Handles with Integrated Electrodes are intended for use by or under the direction of a physician. The ZOLL Autoclavable External Paddles are to be used with manually operated ZOLL M Series Defibrillator products to perform closed chest defibrillation of a patient when sterlization of the paddles is required either before or after the defibrillation event. The ZOLL Autoclavable External Paddles are intended for use by trained personnel and are for use on Adult patients only. The ZOLL Autoclavable External Paddles are intended for use by or under the direction of a physician.
Device Story
Device consists of autoclavable internal handles, internal handles with integrated electrodes, and external paddles for use with ZOLL defibrillators. Internal components deliver defibrillation therapy directly to the heart during surgery; external paddles perform closed-chest defibrillation. Operated by physicians or trained personnel in clinical/surgical settings. When connected to defibrillators with advisory/ECG analysis, device forces manual-only operation mode. Provides physical interface for energy delivery; facilitates sterilization of patient-contact components.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; device relies on established technological characteristics for defibrillation accessories.
Technological Characteristics
Autoclavable handles and paddles for DC-defibrillator (21 CFR 870.5300). Designed for manual operation with ZOLL defibrillator systems. Materials selected for repeated sterilization cycles. Interface forces manual mode on advisory-capable defibrillators.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients requiring closed chest defibrillation (external paddles) or patients undergoing surgical procedures requiring direct cardiac defibrillation (internal handles/electrodes). Intended for use by or under the direction of a physician or trained personnel.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Low-energy DC-defibrillator: A device that delivers into a 50 ohm test load an electrical shock of a maximum of 360 joules of energy used for defibrillating (restoring normal heart rhythm) the atria or ventricles of the heart or to terminate other cardiac arrhythmias. This generic type of device includes low energy defibrillators with a maximum electrical output of less than 360 joules of energy that are used in pediatric defibrillation or in cardiac surgery. The device may either synchronize the shock with the proper phase of the electrocardiogram or may operate asynchronously. The device delivers the electrical shock through paddles placed either directly across the heart or on the surface of the body. High-energy DC-defibrillator: A device that delivers into a 50 ohm test load an electrical shock of greater than 360 joules of energy used for defibrillating the atria or ventricles of the heart or to terminate other cardiac arrhythmias. The device may either synchronize the shock with the proper phase of the electrocardiogram or may operate asynchronously. The device delivers the electrical shock through paddles placed either directly across the heart or on the surface of the body.
