Technical data SCOPE Biphasic Waveform The HeartSine samaritan PAD delivers a Self-Compensating Output Pulse Envelope (SCOPE) biphasic waveform (see Figure 13) which automatically optimizes the waveform pulse envelope (amplitude, slope, and duration) for a wide range of patient impedances, from 20 ohms to 230 ohms. The delivered waveform to the patient is an optimized, impedance-compensated, biphasic, truncated exponential waveform that incorporates an escalating energy protocol of 150 Joules, 150 Joules, and 200 Joules.

The HeartSine samaritan PAD uses its ECG arrhythmia analysis algorithm to evaluate the patient’s ECG to determine if a therapeutic shock is appropriate. If a shock is required, the HeartSine samaritan PAD will charge and advise the user to stand clear and to press the shock button (SAM 350P and 450P) or automatically shock the patient after a verbal 3, 2, 1 countdown (SAM 360P).

This study compared two (2) impedance compensated biphasic waveforms: • HeartSine’s samaritan (SAM) (100-150-200 J energy protocol at the time based on the AHA guidelines then in effect) using the same SCOPE defibrillation waveform present in the SAM 350P, SAM 360P and SAM 450P;...

. These data were not powered to demonstrate differences in return of spontaneous circulation or survival. This study was conducted on the HeartSine samaritan AED (cleared under 510(k) K023854) with the identical SCOPE waveform as used in the SAM 350P , SAM 360P and SAM 450P .

(OR = 0.98 for a 1-year increase in age, p = 0.0324). Shock success and survival were similar among the HeartSine public access defibrillators studied in this analysis, which was anticipated since all the devices use the same defibrillation waveform, the same arrhythmia detection algorithm, and the same Pad-Pak electrode-battery packs.
Page 55
In summary, the postmarket data collected provides information on the real-world performance of the arrhythmia detection algorithm, waveform effectiveness and the overall usability of HeartSine’s public access defibrillators. First shock success and survival to admission were comparable in this study to rates reported in published literature .
For how long? HeartSine warrants, from the date of the sale to the original end user, the HeartSine samaritan PAD for the full eight (8) year service life and the HeartSine samaritan PAD Trainer and HeartSine Gateway for a period of two (2) years.
