Overview

AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026

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

The DDU-1000 is a semiautomatic external defibrillator, designed to deliver electrical shocks to the heart in response to life-threatening arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia. It operates by analyzing the patient’s heart rhythm and advising the operator when a shock is advised, requiring manual activation via the shock button to deliver therapy.

This device is supplied as a reusable system with single-use electrodes and pads, intended for use in prehospital, clinical, and public-access settings. It is not MRI-safe and requires proper storage in a dry, temperature-controlled environment. The DDU-1000 holds an FDA 510(k) clearance under product code MKJ, with a predicate device classification of Automated External Defibrillators (Non-Wearable)

Questions

AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026

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

  • How does the DDU-1000 differ from fully automatic external defibrillators in terms of operation and user involvement?

    The DDU-1000 is a semiautomatic external defibrillator, meaning it analyzes the patient’s heart rhythm and advises when a shock is advised. However, unlike fully automatic devices, it requires manual activation by the operator pressing the shock button to deliver therapy, ensuring the user remains engaged in the decision-making process.

  • Are the electrodes and pads for the DDU-1000 reusable or single-use, and how should they be stored?

    The DDU-1000 system is designed with single-use electrodes and pads, while the defibrillator itself is reusable. Proper storage requires keeping the device in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to maintain its functionality and reliability.

  • Can the DDU-1000 be used in an MRI environment, and if not, what precautions should be taken?

    The DDU-1000 is explicitly stated as not MRI-safe, so it should never be used in or near an MRI environment. Precautions include removing the device from the area and ensuring no metallic components are exposed to the MRI field, as this could pose a risk to both the patient and the equipment.

  • What regulatory pathway was followed for the FDA clearance of the DDU-1000, and what is its classification?

    The DDU-1000 holds an FDA 510(k) clearance under product code MKJ, classified as substantially equivalent to predicate Automated External Defibrillators (Non-Wearable). The clearance was granted through a traditional review process by the Cardiovascular (CV) Advisory Committee, with a decision date of April 24, 2014.
