Questions

AI-generated answers, 20 Sep 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

  • Is the Portable Intensive Care Unit (PIC) designed for single-use or can it be reused after proper cleaning and maintenance?

    The Portable Intensive Care Unit is intended for reuse and must undergo proper cleaning, disinfection, and maintenance between uses to ensure safety and functionality. Since it is not sterile, adherence to manufacturer guidelines for reprocessing is critical to maintain performance and prevent contamination.

  • What types of therapeutic interventions can the PIC deliver, and where is it primarily used?

    The PIC is designed to deliver defibrillation, pacing, and ventilation while providing real-time patient monitoring of vital signs. It is intended for use in hospital emergency departments, pre-hospital emergency care, and critical care transport, where traditional intensive care facilities are unavailable.

  • How should the Portable Intensive Care Unit be stored, and what environmental considerations apply?

    The PIC must be stored in accordance with manufacturer guidelines to preserve its operational integrity. It is not MRI-safe, meaning it should be kept in environments where MRI procedures are not conducted, as exposure to MRI fields could compromise its function or safety.

  • What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of this device, and what classification does it fall under?

    The Portable Intensive Care Unit received FDA 510(k) clearance (K012766) under the Traditional pathway, classified as a Class III device under the Automated External Defibrillators (Non-Wearable) category (Product Code MKJ). It is regulated under FDA regulation number 870.5310 and was reviewed by the Cardiovascular (CV) Advisory Committee.

  • Does the Portable Intensive Care Unit require any special handling or maintenance beyond routine cleaning?

    Beyond cleaning and disinfection, the PIC requires regular maintenance to ensure proper functionality. Since it is a reusable medical device, adherence to the manufacturer’s reprocessing protocols is essential to prevent malfunctions, ensure patient safety, and extend the device’s operational lifespan.
