The description focuses on data management, storage, retrieval, and reporting of ECG data. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for analysis, interpretation, or any other function beyond basic data handling. The text explicitly states that "Clinical judgment and experience are used to check and interpret the data," indicating human-driven analysis.
No.
The device is a data management tool for storing, retrieving, communicating, and reporting ECG and ECG data, not for treating conditions. It explicitly states it "does not offer diagnosis or medical alarms" and that "competent human intervention be involved before any impact on health occurs."
No
Yes
The device description explicitly states "GlobalCardio is a cardiology software product, delivered over the web using the Application Service Provider (ASP) model." It describes a web-based database system for managing patient cardiology records and does not mention any accompanying hardware components that are part of the medical device itself. While it interacts with data from ECG devices, the device being described is the software system for data management.
Based on the provided information, GlobalCardio is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- GlobalCardio's Function: GlobalCardio is described as a data management tool for storing, retrieving, communicating, and reporting ECG and ECG data. It processes data acquired from ECG devices, which are external to the body and measure electrical activity of the heart.
- No Specimen Analysis: The description explicitly states that GlobalCardio does not analyze biological specimens. Its input is ECG data, not biological samples.
- Focus on Data Management: The core function is managing and organizing existing cardiac data, not performing diagnostic tests on biological materials.
- No Diagnosis or Alarms: The intended use explicitly states that GlobalCardio "does not offer diagnosis or medical alarms." This further reinforces that it's a data handling tool, not a diagnostic test.
In summary, GlobalCardio operates on data generated by other medical devices (ECG machines) and focuses on data management and reporting, not on analyzing biological specimens for diagnostic purposes. This aligns with the definition of a data management system for medical information, not an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
GlobalCardio is intended to be used as a data management tool for cardiologists, general practitioners, cardiac or ECG technicians, nurses, monitoring service technicians, and other cardiac related institutions or care givers to store, retrieve, communicate and report ECG data acquired from a variety of ECG sources including single and multi-lead ECG devices. GlobalCardio will be accessed over the internet and data will be stored at either the client site or at the central GlobalCardio data warehouse. Data will be secure, and with separate data stores for each client. Users will be able to access specific modules for managing patient cardiac related data such as arrhythmia data that fit their patients' needs. GlobalCardio is intended for use in clinics, hospitals, physician's offices, or anywhere a medical doctor deems appropriate. GlobalCardio does not offer diagnosis or medical alarms. It is intended that competent human intervention be involved before any impact on health occurs. Clinical judgment and experience are used to check and interpret the data.

Device Description
GlobalCardio is a cardiology software product, delivered over the web using the Application Service Provider (ASP) model. GlobalCardio operates on IBM compatible PC's using an Internet browser, Microsoft Internet Explorer. GlobalCardio operates as a client server application. GlobalCardio presents an interface to the user to allow the user to store, query and output data from a centrally hosted, or client based relational database.
The product is a web-based database system for the secure storage of all aspects of a patient's cardiology record including: arrhythmia follow-up and pacemaker follow-up, cardiac rehabilitation data, diagnosis, trans-telephonic ECGs, ECG information, clinical history, physician notes, clinical history and associated reports and queries.
GlobalCardio is a comprehensive ECG management system that is to be sold on a per-use or fee-for-service business model. No software will be shipped and installed, but customer accounts which include user IDs and passwords will be created for each authorized client. All activity on GlobalCardio will be recorded by User IDs: User IDs will be provided for each user to access their own secure, firewall protected, warehouse database(s). Databases may reside on the organizations computer network, managed by their own firewall.
GlobalCardio is designed as a multi-user system capable of supporting large volumes of simultaneous users.
Data can be entered via keyboard, mouse, bar code reader, sound card, serial port, or from other port, can be displayed on the computer monitor or printed.
GlobalCardio is not a life-supporting or life-sustaining system. It is intended that competent human intervention be involved before any impact on health occurs. Clinical judgment and experience are used to check and interpret the data.
GlobalCardio is a web-enabled client/server application designed for setup as an intranet/internet ASP service. The predicate products do not have these features, as they are traditional desktop PC applications. This architecture enables the application to function in a new environment (the world wide web. and local Intranets) but in no way changes the clinical aspects of intended use for the product.
GlobalCardio includes the ability to store cardiac rehab information. This feature allows for the collection of patient data as related to protocols defined for a given patient. GlobalCardio is merely a tool for retaining and reporting this information.
The elements listed in the sections for Security and Audit Tracking pertain only to GlobalCardio. These features provide enhanced security levels exceeding the security available in either of the two predicate devices. These elements ensure that data can only be seen/used by intended persons. The Audit Tracking provides additional security by way of tracking all activity as it pertains to a specific record. These enhanced security features enable the GlobalCardio application to function in existing and new PC operating system environments but in no way change the clinical aspects of intended use for the product.
GlobalCardio has substantially equivalent indications for use, and similar target population, design, performance, and feature set compared to the predicate population, device. GlobalCardio is substantially equivalent to the combination of the predicate devices.
