Indications for Use
The Thumper® Model 1008 is intended to perform CPR on adult patients in cases of clinical death as defined by a lack of spontaneous breathing and pulse.
Device Story
Pneumatically-powered, electronically controlled external cardiac compressor; performs mechanical CPR on adult patients in clinical death. System comprises gas-powered piston assembly, massager pad, and backboard. Integrated ventilator provides respiratory support via facemask or advanced airway. Operates in two modes: 30:2 compression-ventilation ratio or continuous compressions (100 compressions/min) with nine asynchronous breaths/min. Designed for use by healthcare professionals to replace manual chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth breathing. Output provides consistent, AHA-compliant mechanical CPR to support circulation and respiration, potentially improving patient outcomes during resuscitation efforts.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance data confirmed conformance to product specifications and substantial equivalence to predicate devices regarding compression rate, duration, and ventilation parameters.
Technological Characteristics
Pneumatically-powered, electronically controlled external cardiac compressor. Components: gas-powered piston, massager pad, backboard, integrated ventilator. Dimensions/form factor: portable mechanical unit. Connectivity: none. Sterilization: not specified. Software: electronic control for compression/ventilation timing.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients in clinical death (lack of spontaneous breathing and pulse) requiring mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An external cardiac compressor is an externally applied prescription device that is electrically, pneumatically, or manually powered and is used to compress the chest periodically in the region of the heart to provide blood flow during cardiac arrest. External cardiac compressor devices are used as an adjunct to manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) when effective manual CPR is not possible (e.g., during patient transport or extended CPR when fatigue may prohibit the delivery of effective/consistent compressions to the victim, or when insufficient EMS personnel are available to provide effective CPR).
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) Nonclinical performance testing under simulated physiological conditions must demonstrate the reliability of the delivery of specific compression depth and rate over the intended duration of use. (2) Labeling must include the following: (i) The clinical training necessary for the safe use of this device; (ii) Adjunctive use only indication prominently displayed on labels physically placed on the device and in any device manuals or other labeling; (iii) Information on the patient population for which the device has been demonstrated to be effective (including patient size and/or age limitations, *e.g.,* adult, pediatric and/or infant); and(iv) Information on the time necessary to deploy the device as demonstrated in the performance testing. (3) For devices that incorporate electrical components, appropriate analysis and testing must demonstrate that the device is electrically safe and electromagnetically compatible in its intended use environment. (4) Human factors testing and analysis must validate that the device design and labeling are sufficient for effective use by the intended user, including an evaluation for the time necessary to deploy the device. (5) For devices containing software, software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must be performed. (6) Components of the device that come into human contact must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
