Intended Use

SafetyMate® Talking First Aid, SM200 Series is an electronic device intended for use to provide verbal information from established sources to refresh how to handle common medical emergencies through utilization of button options, voice queries and prompts which remind the user of important points in the management of identified emergency situations for infant, child, and adult emergencies.

Device Story

SafetyMate SM200 is a handheld, battery-powered electronic audio guide for first aid. User selects one of eight emergency categories (e.g., CPR, choking, bleeding, burns) via physical buttons. Device uses voice queries and prompts to guide users through age-appropriate first aid steps and provides audio cues for CPR cadence. Used in home or office settings by laypeople. Output is verbal instructions and audio beeps; intended to refresh user knowledge of established first aid procedures. Does not deliver therapy or contain drugs. Benefits include providing structured, step-by-step guidance during emergencies to potentially improve care appropriateness and reduce confusion.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical usability and human factors studies conducted. Evaluated whether audio prompting caused treatment delays or led to inappropriate care in simulated emergencies. Results showed 100% of users were able to use the device correctly without prompting; no significant delays in treatment noted. Protocol refinements were implemented based on initial study feedback.

Technological Characteristics

Handheld electronic device; plastic body with eight user-selection buttons. Battery-powered. Software-controlled audio output. Meets EN 55014-1/2, EN 55022, EN 61000-4-2, and FCC Part 15 standards for electromagnetic compatibility and radiated emissions.

Indications for Use

Indicated for infant, child, and adult populations as an adjunct to first aid training and information sources to provide verbal guidance and reminders for managing common medical emergencies.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A nonresorbable gauze/sponge for external use is a sterile or nonsterile device intended for medical purposes, such as to be placed directly on a patient's wound to absorb exudate. It consists of a strip, piece, or pad made from open woven or nonwoven mesh cotton cellulose or a simple chemical derivative of cellulose. This classification does not include a nonresorbable gauze/sponge for external use that contains added drugs such as antimicrobial agents, added biologics such as growth factors, or is composed of materials derived from animal sources.

Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed: Clinical usability and human factors studies were conducted to assess if SafetyMate Talking First Aid Device impairs appropriateness of care and/or speed to treat. Conclusions indicated that overall, no significant delays in treatment were noted. While there were a few instances in which changes to the protocols needed to be made to address points of confusion, either over word choice or clarity of instructions, those changes have been implemented and the issues have been answered. #### 10. Conclusions: {4}------------------------------------------------ Based on the design, technology, performance, functional testing, and intended use, the SafetyMate, SM200 series is substantially equivalent to the devices currently marketed under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Usability studies indicate that 100% of the users were able to use the device correctly without any prompting from the observer. The human factors study addressed two questions: first, whether the use of an audio prompting device (in this case, a SafetyMate Talking First Aid device), in a simulated first aid emergency situation, caused a delay in treatment when compared to the same situation without a prompting device; and second, whether the use of a prompting device lead the subjects to render inappropriate care, in a simulated first aid emergency situation. While there were a few instances in which changes to the protocols needed to be made, those changes have been implemented and the issues have been answered. {5}------------------------------------------------ ## DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/5/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
