Intended Use

The 12 lead glove is designed to configure ECG electrodes in a single unit using a conventional ECG electrode configuration for the purpose of conducting an electrocardiogram. It is for use in patients with a chest girth of 97 - 104 cm.

Device Description

The 12-Lead Glove has been designed to obtain an electrocardiogram (ECG) with pre-positioned electrodes affixed to the underside of a glove-like sheath. The pre-printed conductive circuity is contained within the sheath (or shell) on a flexible substrate. To obtain the tracing, the operator need only connect the glove via a single (multi-conductor) cable connected to the ECC monitor, slip on the glove, position their hand on the patient's chest, and attach three extendable electrodes which will provide a full 12-Lead recording. The 12-Lead Glove saves valuable time required for set-up compared to the standard approach with multiple electrode placements. It eliminates the confusion of working with the standard cables and eliminates erroneous ECG readings.

AI/ML Overview

Unfortunately, the provided document, the "IneedMD - ILC Dover 12-Lead Glove 510(k) Summary," primarily focuses on the device's description, component materials, and regulatory clearance (510(k)) based on substantial equivalence to predicate devices. It does not contain details about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets specific performance criteria, which would typically include performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, or details about clinical trials.

The document states: "We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device we have reviewed your becamed the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate for use stated in the encreativent of the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to conninered proc to May 20, 1978, 11:15 devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, de rices that have been require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA)." This indicates the device received clearance based on demonstrating equivalence to existing devices, rather than through a study specifically designed to establish and meet novel acceptance criteria for its performance.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information (points 1-9) from the provided text, as it is not present. The summary focuses on material biocompatibility and comparison to predicate device materials, not clinical performance metrics.

IneedMD - ILC Dover 12-Lead Glove 510(k) Summary

Scope

The scope of this document is limited to the IneedMD 12-Lead Glove, a Class II medical device.

Device Description

The 12-Lead Glove has been designed to obtain an electrocardiogram (ECG) with pre-positioned electrodes affixed to the underside of a glove-like sheath. The pre-printed conductive circuity is contained within the sheath (or shell) on a flexible substrate. To obtain the tracing, the operator need only connect the glove via a single (multi-conductor) cable connected to the ECC monitor, slip on the glove, position their hand on the patient's chest, and attach three extendable electrodes which will provide a full 12-Lead recording. The 12-Lead Glove saves valuable time required for set-up compared to the standard approach with multiple electrode placements. It eliminates the confusion of working with the standard cables and eliminates erroneous ECG readings.

Component/Materia! Descriptions

The 12-Lead Glove is made up of several components, or sub-assemblies. They include:

  • the shell, or the glove-like sheath which has indirect contact with the patient's skin .
  • the electrodes (and electrode foam backers) which are embedded within the shell and has . direct contact with the patient's skin
  • . the pre-printed conductive flex-circuit (and extendable limb leads), have no contact with the patient's skin
  • the ECG Connector Cable to transmit the electrical impulses to an ECG machine .

The following tables delineate all materials used in the 12-Lead Glove, and demonstrate their safety and acceptability for use in this device. Most materials used either have predicate device history or are currently used in pre-approved medical devices.
