To provide power for the specific Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) for which the original battery packs were designed and manufactured, in back-up and portable use.
Device Story
Green4Life Batteries are re-celled, non-rechargeable lithium battery packs designed as primary or standby power sources for specific AED models. The manufacturing process involves opening original OEM battery enclosures, replacing internal lithium cells with identical or superior components, and reclosing the pack. If memory-equipped, the pack is reset. The device is used in clinical or field settings where AEDs are deployed; installation and testing are performed by qualified service personnel. The device provides electrical power via chemical reaction. Healthcare providers verify battery functionality through the AED's internal self-test, which reports a 'pass' status upon installation. This ensures the AED remains operational for emergency use, providing a reliable power source for life-saving defibrillation.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance verified through open circuit voltage tests, loaded circuit voltage tests, and final installation acceptance tests within the corresponding AEDs. Each battery must pass the host AED's internal operational self-test to be considered acceptable.
Technological Characteristics
Non-rechargeable lithium battery packs. Components include lithium cells, power rectifiers, thermal fuses, and current limit fuses. Form factor matches original OEM battery enclosures. Connectivity is physical/mechanical (direct installation into AED). Testing includes visual inspection, internal resistance measurement, open circuit voltage, and loaded circuit voltage testing.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a power source for specific Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in back-up and portable applications. Intended for installation and testing by qualified service personnel only.
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.

#### 5.3 Device Description:
The Green4Life Batteries are non-rechargeable battery packs utilized as the primary power source or as a standby or backup power source for Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). These devices provide a means of supplying electrical power through the chemical reaction of lithium cells. The energy provided depends upon the voltage and capacity rating of a particular pack and the amount of current required by the device into which they are installed. The performance and life span of these batteries depends on operating conditions of temperature, current drain, and discharge method. The goal of these battery packs is to provide a sufficient power source for AEDs for as long as possible under a specified range of environmental conditions.
The Green4Life Batteries are re-celled battery packs of those identified below in Predicate Devices.
# 5.4 Indications for Use:
To power AEDs for which the OEM battery pack was intended. Only qualified service personnel should evaluate, test, or install AED battery packs.

### 5.6 Substantial Equivalence:
The Green4Life Battery packs are re-celled battery packs of those identified above in Predicate Devices. Existing enclosures are opened, lithium cells are replaced with identical or superior cells, reclosed, reset if memory equipped, and tested. Therefore, the pack is typically the exact original equipment. Only the lithium cells are replaced within the original battery packs unless other components including the power rectifiers, thermal fuses, or current limit fuses are found faulty or damaged during cell removal. In these cases, components will be replaced with identical part number components.
# 5.7 Testing:
# 5.7.1 Performance Testing
The Green4Life Battery packs are re-celled packs manufactured as cleared devices. Cells are replaced with identical cells to those used by the OEM or equivalent in specifications over the full temperature range of AED operation. Each AED has an internal test of the battery to verify that it is capable of providing the necessary power to the AED. This self test is a good indicator that the replacement battery back is acceptable. Performance testing within the specific AED was conducted to verify that the replacement battery pack tested within limits and that reset of battery pack information when operated within the designated AED, for those packs equipped with memory devices, was acceptable.
# 5.7.2 Manufacturing Tests
Incoming inspection of lithium cells will include visual examination and internal resistance measurements on typical sampling plans for similar devices. Approved cells will be assembled into packs where they go through a 100% testing as follows, including an open circuit test, loaded test, and installed test.

| Physic Control | Lifepak 500 | Vmin=12.0V | L=15 ohms, Vmin=11.0V |
In addition to the above open circuit and load DC voltage tests, the battery packs will be installed into their corresponding AED for a final acceptance test. The battery pack must easily install into the AED and firmly lock into place as with the original battery pack. Upon installation the AEDs undergo an operational self test of the installed battery. Final battery pack acceptance testing requires a reported "pass" by the corresponding AED.
# 5.8 Conclusion:
AED Battery Exchange has demonstrated through evaluation and testing of the Green4Life Battery packs, that their re-celled battery packs are equivalent with respect to indications for use, technological characteristics, materials, form, fit, and function to the replacement battery packs commercially available for specific AEDs outlined in this submission. This notification contains all information required by 21 CFR 807.87. A completed copy of the Premarket Notification 510(k) Reviewer's Checklist is provided as section 15 of this submission.
