Intended Use
The TX3 Cardiac Event Recorder, called the TX3, is intended to be worn by the patient and to record a short period of electrocardiogram when the patient detects symptoms indicated to him by his physician. It is indicated when such recordings are required for diagnosis, prognosis, and management of transient symptoms such as dizziness, syncope, palpitations, and arrhythmias.
Device Description
The TX3 Cardiac Event Recorder is intended to record samples of a patient's electrocardiograph (ECG) when indicated by the patient, store the ECGs in a temporary storage, and then to be transmitted to a central station by the patient, by telephone. The unit has two modes: Post-event and Arrhythmia, or "Looping.". In post-event mode, the unit records a period of ECG following the pressing of a button by the patient. The unit can also determine the pulse duration of implanted pacemakers in Post-Event mode. In arthythmia mode, the unit is a so-called "looping recorder." it is always active, and thus records a sample of ECG both before and after the "patient event." The unit records a 3-lead ECG, using four electrodes. Normally, the unit records the limb leads. The Central Station unit is the Paceart WINCPTS 86-12 system (K915632). The physician can program the unit and set the number of recordings and the duration of the recording that can be made before they must be transmitted to the central station.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard cardiac event recorder that records and transmits ECG data. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any algorithms that would interpret or analyze the data using such technologies. The device's functionality is based on patient-triggered recording and basic pacemaker pulse detection, which are not indicative of AI/ML.

No.
The device is a diagnostic tool designed to record and transmit ECG data for the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of transient symptoms. It does not provide therapy or treatment.

Yes
The device is described as recording electrocardiograms "when such recordings are required for diagnosis, prognosis, and management of transient symptoms such as dizziness, syncope, palpitations, and arrhythmias." This explicitly states its use in diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "unit" that records a 3-lead ECG using four electrodes and is worn by the patient, indicating it includes hardware components for data acquisition.

Based on the provided information, the TX3 Cardiac Event Recorder is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • TX3 Function: The TX3 Cardiac Event Recorder directly measures and records electrical activity of the heart (ECG) from the patient's body. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.

The TX3 is a medical device used for in vivo (within the living body) measurement and recording of physiological signals.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The TX3 Cardiac Event Recorder is intended to record samples of a patient's electrocardiograph (ECG) when indicated by the patient, store the ECGs in a temporary storage, and then to be transmitted to a central station by the patient, by telephone.

The TX3 Cardiac Event Recorder, called the TX3, is intended to be worn by the patient and to record a short period of electrocardiogram when the patient deploys it as indicated to him by his physician. It is indicated when such recordings are required for diagnosis, e.g. in the intended patient population is suspected symptoms and arrhythmias.
