Intended Use
The intended use of the SEER Light Compact Digital Holter Recorder is to acquire ambulatory 2 or 3 channels of ECG signal from the chest surface of pediatric or adult patients for no longer than 24 hours. The device stores this data along with patient demographic information to on board flash memory. It does not perform any analysis on the ECG data. The SEER Light Compact Digital Holter Recorder is intended to be used under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner, by trained operators in a hospital or medical professional's facility.
Device Description
The SEER Light Compact Digital Holter Recorder is designed to acquire ambulatory 2 or 3 channels of ECG signal from the chest surface for no longer than 24 hours. The device stores the acquired ECG data in its on-board 32 megabytes of flash memory. Additionally, the SEER Light controller downloads patient demographic information into the SEER Light recorder and checks the signal quality of the ECG data at hookup time via isolated, infra-red communications. At the end of the recording the SEER Light controller is connected to the SEER Light recorder by cable and the stored ECG data is transferred to it and onto a standard compact flash memory card.

No
The device description explicitly states that it "does not perform any analysis on the ECG data" and the "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is strictly for acquiring and storing ECG signals for diagnostic purposes and does not perform any therapeutic function.

Yes.
The device acquires and stores ECG signals for later analysis, which is a key step in diagnosing heart conditions. Although it "does not perform any analysis on the ECG data" itself, the data it collects is intended to be used for diagnostic purposes by a healthcare practitioner.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Digital Holter Recorder" and describes hardware components like "on-board flash memory," "infra-red communications," and cable connections for data transfer. It also mentions "hardware testing" in the performance studies summary.

Based on the provided information, the SEER Light Compact Digital Holter Recorder is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The SEER Light Compact Digital Holter Recorder acquires ECG signals directly from the chest surface of a patient. This is a non-invasive measurement of electrical activity within the body, not an analysis of a biological specimen.

The device is a medical device used for physiological monitoring, specifically for recording ambulatory ECG data.

Dear Ms. Michels:

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.
