The 700-F series elecirodes are disposable electrodes for extemnal cardiac stimulation and monitoring. Electrodes of this design are suitable for extermal pacing, external defibrillation, synchronized cardloversion and ECG monitoring. The expected patient population for the use of these devices includes adults and children. The environment for use includes all areas of the hospital, ambulance, and prehospital (paramedic) situations. The duration for use is intended to be less than 24 hours. Individual catalog numbers are labeled for more specific use based primarily on the Interface connector and cable system which defines the host external device, such as an external defibrillator.

The devices covered by this premarket notification provide an interface from the skin to a number diagnostic or therapeutic devices and are labeled with one or more of the following intended uses:

External Defibrillation

External Pacing

ECG Monitoring

Synchonized Cardioversion
