Device Description
The CardioNet Arrhythmia Detector which is also referred to as the subject device, is a modification to the CardioNet Ambulatory ECG monitor cleared by FDA under 510(k) number K003707, in May 2001. The subject device includes the addition of an ECG analysis capability that allows detection of cardiac arrhythmia. As described in the previous 510(k) the subject device is comprised of three components: 1) a patient-worn Sensor, 2) a Monitor and 3) a charging Base. The Sensor acquires the ECG signal from the patient's body. It is connected to electrodes attached to the patient's skin. It is suspended in place by a neck strap. The ECG signal is conditioned, filtered, digitized and transmitted to the Monitor via Radio Frequency bi-directional communications. The Sensor utilizes a disposable AAA battery. The Monitor receives, analyzes, stores and transmits the ECG data. The Monitor has an LCD display and handles the user interaction for the system. The Monitor has an integrated cellular modem to allow communications with and without physical connection to a phone line. The Monitor has a re-chargeable battery. When an ECG threshold is exceeded or if the patient initiates a call, the ECG data is transmitted to the CardioNet Monitoring Center where trained clinical personnel review the data. The Monitor Center can also request data from the Monitor, the Monitor will transmit ECG data are requested. All ECG data for the past 24 hours is resident on the Monitor and can be transmitted to the Monitoring Center as requested by Monitoring Center Personnel. The subject device utilizes the proven Mortara ECG analysis algorithm that is currently used in the Quinton Q-tel telemetry system, 510(k) number K003576, 807.1025, Procode DSI, Class III; and the Datex-Ohmeda CS/3 telemetry system, 510(k) number K000882, 807.1025, Procode DSI, Class III. The Quinton Q-tel telemetry system and the Datex-Ohmeda telemetry system are both Class III Preamendments devices for which FDA has not yet requested PMAs. The Base provides power, RS232, and telephone communication connectivity to allow telephone transmission of ECG data when in the Monitor is charging. The Base does not include any software; it is a passive component that provides input to the Monitor.
More Information

K003707, K982803

K003576, K000882

No
The document explicitly states the device utilizes a "proven Mortara ECG analysis algorithm" and references predicate and reference devices that predate the widespread use of AI/ML in this context. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms.

No
The device is described as an "Arrhythmia Detector" and an "Ambulatory ECG monitor" which detects, analyzes, stores, and transmits ECG data for monitoring purposes. It is not intended to provide therapy or treatment.

Yes

The device description explicitly states, "The subject device includes the addition of an ECG analysis capability that allows detection of cardiac arrhythmia." The Intended Use/Indications for Use also lists various conditions (e.g., dizziness, palpitations, syncope of unknown etiology, different types of arrhythmias) for which the device is used to monitor, evaluate, and identify the presence of these cardiac issues, which are all diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of three hardware components: a patient-worn Sensor, a Monitor, and a charging Base. While it includes ECG analysis software, it is not solely software.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes monitoring cardiac activity in patients for various conditions related to heart rhythm. This involves acquiring and analyzing electrical signals from the body, not analyzing samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: The device description details components that interact with the patient's body (Sensor, electrodes) to acquire physiological signals (ECG). It analyzes this data directly, not samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components associated with in vitro diagnostics.

The device is a cardiac monitoring system that analyzes physiological signals (ECG) to detect arrhythmias. This falls under the category of medical devices that interact with the body to acquire and analyze data, rather than IVDs which analyze samples from the body.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Dear Mr. Kalieta:

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 (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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.
