Indications for Use
Defibrillator Function The E Series ALS products contain a DC defibrillator capable of delivering up to 200 joules of energy. It may be used in synchronized mode to perform synchronized cardioversion by using the Rwave of the patient's ECG as a timing reference. The unit uses paddles or disposable, pre-gelled, MFE Pads for defibrillation. The E Series ALS products must be prescribed for use by a physician or medical advisor of an emergency response team. Intended Use — Manual Operation Use of the E Series ALS products in the Manual mode for defibrillation is indicated on victims of cardiac arrest where there is apparent lack of circulation as indicated by these three conditions: - Unconsciousness - Absence of breathing, and - Absence of pulse. This product should be used only by qualified medical personnel for converting ventricular fibrillation and rapid ventricular tachycardia to sinus rhythm or other cardiac rhythms capable of producing hemodynamically significant heart beats. In Manual mode, the E Series ALS unit may also be used for synchronized cardioversion to terminate atrial fibrillation (AF) or ventricular tachycardias (VT) by using the R-wave of the patient's ECG as a timing reference. A qualified physician must decide when synchronized cardioversion is appropriate. Intended Use - CPR Monitoring The CPR monitoring function provides visual and audio feedback designed to encourage rescuers to perform chest compressions at the AHA/ERC recommended rate of 100 compressions per minute. Voice and visual prompts encourage a minimum compression depth of at least 1.5 (3.8 cm) or 2.0 inches (5.0 cm), depending on the configuration, for adult patients. The CPR monitoring function is not intended for use on patients under 8 years of age. Intended Use - Pacemaker This product may be used for temporary external cardiac pacing in conscious or unconscious patients as an alternative to endocardial stimulation. Note: This device must not be connected to internal pacemaker electrodes. Intended-Use Multi-parameter Monitoring This product may be used for monitoring various patient vital signs, including: electrocardiogram (ECG), Pulse Oximetry (SpO2), Carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO), Methemoglobin (SpMet), End Tidal CO2, 12-Lead ECG, and Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP).
Device Story
E Series ALS is a manual-only, non-AED configuration of the previously cleared ZOLL E Series defibrillator/monitor. Device inputs include ECG signals (via leads, pads, or paddles), SpO2, SpCO, SpMet, EtCO2, and NIBP. It functions as a manual defibrillator, noninvasive pacer, and multi-parameter monitor. Operated by ACLS-qualified personnel in critical care environments. The device provides visual/audio CPR feedback (rate/depth) and displays physiological data. Output informs clinical decisions regarding defibrillation, pacing, and patient monitoring. The device lacks the 'Analyze' button and automated rhythm analysis found in the AED-enabled predicate, ensuring use is restricted to manual control by trained professionals.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only. The device is a configuration of a previously cleared predicate, and no new software or hardware requirements were introduced, rendering additional verification or validation testing unnecessary.
Technological Characteristics
Class II DC defibrillator/monitor. Features manual defibrillation, noninvasive pacing, and multi-parameter monitoring. Connectivity via 3/5 lead ECG, MFE pads, or paddles. Software-configured to disable AED/rhythm analysis. Hardware modified by removing the 'Analyze' button. No new technological characteristics compared to predicate K111594.
Indications for Use
Indicated for cardiac arrest victims (unconscious, apneic, pulseless) requiring manual defibrillation or synchronized cardioversion; temporary external cardiac pacing for bradycardia, standstill, or tachycardia suppression; and multi-parameter monitoring (ECG, SpO2, SpCO, SpMet, EtCO2, NIBP) in adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. CPR monitoring indicated for adults only (age 8+).
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.

#### Intended Use - Pacemaker
This product may be used for temporary external cardiac pacing in conscious or unconscious patients as an alternative to endocardial stimulation.
Note: This device must not be connected to internal pacemaker electrodes.
The purposes of pacing include:
#### · Resuscitation from standstill or bradvcardia of any etiology
Noninvasive pacing has been used for resuscitation from cardiac standstill, reflex vagal standstill, drug induced standstill (due to procainamide, quinidine, digitalis, b-blockers, verapamil, etc.) and unexpected circulatory arrest (due to anesthesia, surgery, angiography, and other therapeutic or diagnostic procedures). It has also been used for temporary acceleration of bradycardia in Stokes-Adams disease and sick-sinus syndrome. It is safer, more reliable, and more rapidly applied in an emergency than endocardial or other temporary electrodes.
#### • As a standby when standstill or bradycardia might be expected
Noninvasive pacing may be useful as a standby when cardiac arrest or symptomatic bradycardia might be expected due to acute myocardial infarction, drug toxicity, anesthesia or surgery. It is also useful as a temporary treatment in patients awaiting pacemaker implants or the introduction of transvenous therapy. In standby pacing applications, noning may provide an alternative to transvenous therapy that avoids the risks of displacement, infection, hemorrhage, embolization, perforation, phlebitis and mechanical or electrical stimulation of ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation associated with endocardial pacing.
#### · Suppression of tachycardia
Increased heart rates in response to external pacing often suppress ventricular ectopic activity and may prevent tachycardia.
#### Pediatric Pacing
Pacinq can be performed on pediatric patients weighing 33lbs / 15kg or less using special ZOLL pediatric MFE Pads. Prolonged pacing (in excess of 30 minutes), particularly in neonates, could cause burns. Periodic inspection of the underlying skin is recommended.
#### Monitor
#### Intended-Use Multi-parameter Monitoring
This product may be used for monitoring various patient vital signs, including: electrocardiogram (ECG), Pulse Oximetry (SpO2), Carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO), Methemoglobin (SpMet), End Tidal CO2, 12-Lead ECG, and Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP).
ECG monitoring is performed by connecting the patient to the 3 or 5 lead patient cable, MFE Pads, or through the paddles.
SpO2 monitoring is indicated for detecting arterial oxygen saturation of blood and pulse rate for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients who are well or poorly perfusing, during both no motion and patient motion conditions.
SpCO monitoring is indicated for detecting carbon monoxide concentration in arterial blood for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients who are well or poorly perfusing, during both no motion and patient motion conditions.
{4}------------------------------------------------
SpMet monitoring is indicated for detecting oxidized hemoglobin concentration in arterial blood for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients who are well or poorly perfusing, during both no motion and patient motion conditions.
EtCO2 monitoring is indicated for the continuous measurement of end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) and respiration rate for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients.
12 Lead ECG analysis is indicated for the diagnosis and treatment of adult and pediatric patients with acute myocardial infarction or other cardiac arrhythmias.
NIBP monitoring is indicated for the measurement of arterial blood pressure for resting adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients.

# Description:
The predicate ZOLL E Series External Defibrillator/Monitor reviewed and cleared by the FDA (K111594 and K092598) is intended for use by qualified medical personnel who are trained and authorized to respond to medical emergencies, to facilitate the ability to monitor and assess the physiological characteristics of the indicated patients in a critical care environment. It combines the function of a manual defibrillator, noninvasive transcutaneous pacer. ECG monitor, pulse oximeter, end tidal CO2 monitor. 12-Lead EGG monitor, non-invasive blood pressure monitor and CPR performance monitor along with data printing and recording capabilities. Functions are offered as options, and functions can be configured during manufacturing to meet the needs of a particular application.
Through a manufacturing configuration option that is already available in the device's software and currently offered for distribution (reviewed and cleared by FDA under K111594), the ECG rhythm analysis (advisory) option can be disabled during the manufacturing of the device. This creates a manual-only/ non-AED configuration of the device which is marketed as E Series ALS and intended to be used by ACLS qualified personnel. On the hardware side, the front panel that is offered with this configuration does not include the analyze button that is used to initiate ECG rhythm analysis.
Following from the discussion above, E Series ALS is covered under our previously cleared 510(k) submission K111594. This submission is simply intended to seek a standalone Class II clearance for E Series ALS, per regulation number 870.5300 for Low-Energy - Defibrillator (LDD), which does not include the Automated External Defibrillators (Non-Wearable) product code (MKJ).

## Substantial Equivalence - Non-Clinical Evidence:
N/A - E Series ALS is covered under our previously cleared 510(k) submission K111594. This submission is simply intended to seek a stand-alone Class II clearance for E Series ALS, per regulation number 870.5300 for Low-Energy - Defibrillator (LDD), which does not include the Automated External Defibrillators (Non-Wearable) product code (MKJ).
## Substantial Equivalence - Clinical Evidence:
N/A - Clinical evidence was not necessary to show substantial equivalence
## Comparison of Technological Characteristics
Through a manufacturing configuration option that is already available in the device's software and currently offered for distribution (reviewed and cleared by FDA under K111594), the ECG rhythm analysis (advisory) option can be disabled during the manufacturing of the device. This creates a manual-only/ non-AED configuration of the device which is marketed as E Series ALS and intended to be used by ACLS qualified personnel. E Series ALS does not offer Shock Conversion Estimator (SCE) functionality, which is available in the predicate E Series. On the hardware side, the front panel that is offered with this configuration does not include the analyze button that is used to initiate ECG rhythm analysis.
## Performance Testing:
No software modifications were needed to produce the E Series ALS, the manual-only/ non-AED configuration of the device. The capability to configure the device as E Series ALS during the manufacturing process by disabling the ECG rhythm analysis already existed in the predicate device cleared under K111594. No new product or software requirements were introduced in order to produce the E Series ALS configuration of the device, and therefore, no additional design or software verification or validation testing was necessary. This submission is simply intended to seek a stand-alone Class II clearance for E Series ALS, per regulation number 870.5300 for Low-Energy -Defibrillator (LDD), which does not include the Automated External Defibrillators (Non-Wearable) product code (MKJ).
Removal of the "Analyze" button from the front panel of the device did not introduce any new risks, or raise any usability issues or concerns, since users of the E Series ALS configuration of the device are aware that the device does not have ECG rhythm analysis (advisory) and AED functionality. Therefore, additional usability testing was considered unnecessary.
## Conclusion
E Series ALS is covered under our previously cleared 510(k) submission K111594. This submission is merely intended to seek a stand-alone Class II clearance for E Series ALS per regulation number 870.5300 for Low-Energy - Defibrillator (LDD), which does not include the Automated External Defibrillators (Non-Wearable) product code (MKJ).
