Intended Use
The Ivy Biomedical RT Carbon ECG Leads are intended for use in X-ray imaging environments. They connect between ECG electrodes that are placed on the patient by a trained healthcare professional and an ECC trunk cable that connects to the ECG monitoring device. The RT Carbon ECG Leads are reusable and nonsterile. The RT Carbon ECG Leads are intended for adult, pediatric and neonatal patient populations.
Device Story
RT Carbon ECG Leads are reusable, non-sterile, 3 or 4-lead sets designed for use in X-ray imaging environments. They function as an interface between patient-applied ECG electrodes and an ECG trunk cable connected to a monitoring device (e.g., Ivy CTM series). Operated by trained healthcare professionals, the leads transmit electrical cardiac signals from the patient to the monitor. The device is non-magnetic and RF-shielded to ensure compatibility with X-ray environments. By providing a reliable connection for ECG monitoring during imaging procedures, the leads enable continuous cardiac observation, assisting clinicians in patient management and safety during diagnostic scans.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data or animal studies were performed. Safety and effectiveness were established through bench testing, including biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, pyrogen testing) and hardware verification/validation (flex life, tensile strength, connector mating/unmating, resistance, and dielectric withstand voltage) in accordance with EC53 standards.
Technological Characteristics
Non-magnetic, RF-shielded carbon lead set; 3 or 4-lead configuration; 24", 30", and 36" lengths. Features EC53-compliant connectors and grabber clip leads. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1 for limited exposure (<24 hours). Reusable, non-sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients requiring ECG monitoring in X-ray imaging environments.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A patient transducer and electrode cable (including connector) is an electrical conductor used to transmit signals from, or power or excitation signals to, patient-connected electrodes or transducers.

Dear Felicia Piel:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"
{1}------------------------------------------------
(https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30. Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90. Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review. the OS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rue"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advicecomprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.
