Technical data SCOPE biphasic waveform HeartSine samaritan PAD delivers a Self-Compensating Output Pulse Envelope (SCOPE) biphasic waveform (see Figure 1) 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.

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, HeartSine samaritan PAD will charge and advise the user to stand clear and to press the shock button. If no shock is advised, the device will pause to allow the user to deliver CPR.

In lieu of such a trial, the risks of the device are based on nonclinical laboratory and animal studies as well as data collected in published literature 2,3,4 The results from the preclinical laboratory testing performed on the HeartSine 350P device demonstrated appropriate electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, biocompatibility, mechanical integrity, and overall performance.

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; and •...

. 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 .

(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 67
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 .
