No
The description focuses on signal processing and classification based on defined parameters, not on learning from data. The "Classifier software" is mentioned as a modification of a previously cleared system and appears to apply pre-defined rules rather than using AI/ML techniques.
No
The device is described as an "Alternans Processing System" intended for "measurement" and "prediction of increased risk of a cardiac event," serving as an "adjunct to clinical history." It provides "diagnostic capabilities" and "input to the physician for interpreting" reports, but it does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition.
Yes
The device "predicts increased risk of a cardiac event (ventricular tachyarrhythmia or sudden death)" and "provides T-wave alternans diagnostic capabilities to standard stress labs," indicating its role in diagnosing risk.
No
The device description explicitly mentions "seven standard stress test electrodes and seven proprietary multi-segment Micro-V Alternans™ Sensors" and a "belt-worn patient module" which are hardware components.
Based on the provided text, the Heartwave™ Alternans Processing System 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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Heartwave™ Function: The Heartwave™ system measures Microvolt T-Wave Alternans directly from the patient's body using electrodes and sensors attached to the skin. It analyzes electrical signals from the heart, not samples taken from the body.
Therefore, the Heartwave™ Alternans Processing System falls under the category of a medical device that performs physiological measurements, not an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Heartwave™ Alternans Processing System is intended for the measurement of Microvolt T-Wave Alternans* at rest and during ECG stress testing.
The presence of Microvolt T-wave Alternans as measured by the Analytic Spectral Method of the Heartwave™ Alternans Processing System in patients with known, suspected or at risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmia predicts increased risk of a cardiac event (ventricular tachyarrhythmia or sudden death).
The Heartwave™ Alternans Processing System should be used only as an adjunct to clinical history and the results of other non-invasive and/or invasive tests. The interpretive results of the Alternans Processing System should be reviewed by a qualified physician.
The predictive value of T-wave Alternans for cardiac events has not been established in patients with active, untreated ischemia.
*Microvolt T-wave Alternans is defined as T-wave alternans which (a) is measured from high-resolution multi-segment sensors, (b) is present in leads X, Y, Z, VM or two adjacent precordial leads, (c) is at the level of 1.9 microvolts after signal optimization and subtraction of the background noise level, (d) is at least three standard deviations greater than the background noise level, (e) has an onset heart rate at or below 110 beats per minute, and (f) is sustained for all heart rates above the onset heart rate.

Device Description
The Heartwave™ Alternans Processing System is intended for the measurement and recording of T-Wave alternans. The modification which is the subject of this pre-market submission is the modification of a parameter in Alternans Report Classifier software which was cleared for marketing on November 17, 2002 (K03564). Classification software provides the clinician with an indication of positive, negative, or indeterminate result for the Alternans Trend Reports. The results remain subject to the final review of a qualified medical practitioner. The Microvolt T-wave Alternans has been shown to be useful in predicting ventricular tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.
The Heartwave™ Alternans Processing System provides T-wave alternans diagnostic capabilities to standard stress labs. The Analytic Spectral Method of Alternans Processing used in the Heartwave is intended for the measurement of Microvolt T-wave alternans at rest and during treadmill, ergometer and pharmacologic stress testing. The Alternans Report Classifier provides input to the physician on interpreting the Alternans trend reports.
The alternans test using the Analytic Spectral Method of Alternans Processing is performed with seven standard stress test electrodes and seven proprietary multi-segment Micro-V Alternans™ Sensors. The electrodes and sensors are attached through a leadwire set to the belt-worn patient module, which provides digitized data to the Alternans Processor.

Similarities and Differences to Predicates
The Heartwave™ Alternans Processing System (new) is the same device as in K013564 with the exception of the modification described in this pre-market submission. The Heartwave Alternans Processing System uses the same Analytic Spectral Method as the predicate Heartwave™ for measuring T-Wave Alternans.
Conclusion
There are more similarities than differences between the predicate device and the Cambridge Heart Heartwave™ Alternans Processing System. Both devices use the Analytic Spectral Method. When used by qualified personnel in accordance with the directions for use, the Heartwave™ Alternans Processing System with Alternans Report Classifier is safe and effective, as indicated, for its intended use.

Dear Mr. Greenbaum:
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.
