## Indications for Use

Manual Defibrillation: Indications: Defibrillation is a recognized means of terminating certain fatal arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation and symptomatic ventricular tachycardia. Delivery of this energy in the synchronized mode is a method for treating atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, and, in relatively stable patients, ventricular tachycardia. The biphasic defibrillation waveform used in this device has only been clinically tested on adults; it has not been tested on pediatric patients. Contraindications: Defibrillation is contraindicated in the treatment of Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA) such as idioventricular escape rhythms, and in the treatment of asystole. Automated External Defibrillation: Indications: The AED mode is to be used only on patients in cardiopulmonary arrest. The patient must be unconscious, pulseless, and not breathing normally before using the defibrillator to analyze the patient's ECG rhythm. In AED mode, the LIFEPAK 20 defibrillator/monitor is not intended for use on pediatric patients less than 8 years old. Noninvasive Pacing Indications: Noninvasive pacing is indicated for symptomatic bradycardia in patients with a pulse. Contraindications: Noninvasive pacing is contraindicated for the treatment of ventricular fibrillation and asystole. Pulse Oximetry Indications: The pulse oximeter is indicated for use in any patient who is at risk of developing hypoxemia.

## Device Story

LIFEPAK 20 is a hospital/clinic-based defibrillator/monitor for crash carts and portable emergency response. Inputs: ECG signals (3/5-wire), pulse oximetry data. Operation: Manual/automated external defibrillation, noninvasive pacing, ECG monitoring, synchronized cardioversion. Device uses biphasic waveform for defibrillation. AED mode includes cprMAX setup options for protocol flexibility per 2005 AHA guidelines. Output: Visual display of ECG/SpO2, audible/visual alarms, electrical energy delivery for therapy. Operated by trained clinicians/authorized personnel. Healthcare providers use output to guide resuscitation, pacing, or cardioversion decisions. Benefits: Rapid identification and treatment of life-threatening arrhythmias and hypoxemia in hospital settings.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No new clinical data provided. The device relies on the clinical performance established for the predicate LIFEPAK 20. Biphasic waveform clinical testing is limited to adults; pediatric testing has not been performed.

## Technological Characteristics

AC power with internal battery backup. Biphasic defibrillation waveform. ECG monitoring (3/5-wire). Pulse oximetry. AED mode with cprMAX setup options. Software-based ECG analysis system. Form factor designed for hospital crash carts/portable use.

## Regulatory 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.

Substantial Equivalence:

The features and functions of the modified LIFEPAK 20 defibrillator/monitor are substantially equivalent to the previously cleared LIFEPAK 20 defibrillator/monitor (K033275, K012274).

#### Description:

The LIFEPAK 20 defibrillator/monitor was created especially for hospitals and clinics for use on "crash carts" as well as for portable emergency response throughout a hospital. The LIFEPAK 20 defibrillator/monitor is equipped with AC power and a backup internal battery. Features of the LIFEPAK 20 defibrillator/monitor include manual and automated external defibrillation, noninvasive pacing, ECG monitoring (3-wire or 5-wire), pulse oximetry, and synchronized cardioversion.

The LIFEPAK 20 defibrillator/monitor has been modified with new setup options in automated external defibrillation (AED) mode to give medical directors or physicians flexibility in establishing their AED protocols including consistency with the recently updated 2005 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC.

Intended Use:

In automated external defibrillation mode, the LIFEPAK 20 defibrillator/monitor is intended for use on patients in cardiopulmonary arrest by personnel who are authorized by a physician/medical director and have, at a minimum, the following skills and training:

- CPR training .
- AED training equivalent to that recommended by the American Heart . Association
- Training in the use of the LIFEPAK 20 defibrillator/monitor in . automated external defibrillation mode

Indications for Use:

Manual Defibrillation:

Indications: Defibrillation is a recognized means of terminating certain fatal arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation and symptomatic ventricular tachycardia. Delivery of this energy in the synchronized mode is a method for treating atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, and, in relatively stable patients, ventricular tachycardia.

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

The biphasic defibrillation waveform used in this device has only been clinically tested on adults; it has not been tested on pediatric patients.

Contraindications: Defibrillation is contraindicated in the treatment of Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA) such as idioventricular escape rhythms, and in the treatment of asystole.

Automated External Defibrillation:

Indications: The AED mode is to be used only on patients in cardiopulmonary arrest. The patient must be unconscious, pulseless, and not breathing normally before using the defibrillator to analyze the patient's ECG rhythm. In AED mode, the LIFEPAK 20 defibrillator/monitor is not intended for use on pediatric patients less than 8 years old.

Noninvasive Pacing

Indications: Noninvasive pacing is indicated for symptomatic bradycardia in patients with a pulse.

Contraindications: Noninvasive pacing is contraindicated for the treatment of ventricular fibrillation and asystole.

Pulse Oximetrv

Indications: The pulse oximeter is indicated for use in any patient who is at risk of developing hypoxemia.

Technological characteristics of new and predicate device:

The new cprMAX setup options only affect operation in automated external defibrillation mode. Features of the modified LIFEPAK 20 defibrillator/monitor such as the ECG analysis system, defibrillation waveform, pacing, and pulse oximetry are the same as those of the predicate device.

Defibrillation technology and functionality of the LIFEPAK 20 defibrillator/monitor has not changed from the previously cleared device.
