The summary describes a standard ECG electrode and its performance characteristics, with no mention of AI or ML technology.
No.
The device is used for monitoring and diagnosis, not for treating a condition or disease.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the electrodes are "designed for use in general electrocardiographic procedures where ECG monitoring is deemed necessary and is ordered by a physician. Such procedures include in particular patient ECG surveillance and ECG diagnosis recording." The mention of "ECG diagnosis recording" directly indicates a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description clearly details physical components like electrodes, gel, stainless steel studs, and an ABS sensor element, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the electrodes are for "general electrocardiographic procedures where ECG monitoring is deemed necessary and is ordered by a physician." This involves measuring electrical signals from the body's surface, not analyzing samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
- Device Description: The description details the physical components of the electrodes and the conductive gel, all of which are designed to facilitate the electrical connection to the skin for ECG recording. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components used for analyzing biological samples.
- Anatomical Site: The device is applied to "Intact (uninjured) skin," which is the external surface of the body, not an internal sample.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on biocompatibility (interaction with the skin) and electrical performance, which are relevant to a device that measures electrical signals from the body. They do not involve the analysis of biological samples.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device does not perform such analysis. It is a medical device used to acquire physiological data.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Skintact ECG electrodes are designed for use in general electrocardiographic procedures where ECG monitoring is deemed necessary and is ordered by a physician. Such procedures include in particular patient ECG surveillance and ECG diagnosis recording. Skintact ECG electrodes are non-sterile and are to be used on intact (uninjured) skin.

Device Description
Skintact® ECG Electrodes (and as also to be offered for sale under various private label tradenames) will be offered with KL 02 liguid gel. Just like the QR liquid gel electrodes, KL 02 liquid gel electrodes are self-adhesive, non-sterile, single use disposable snap electrodes. The KL 02 liquid gel electrodes are identical in size, shape and configuration to the QR liquid gel Skintact ECG electrodes currently marketed by Leonhard Lang, GmbH. All electrode configurations include a stainless steel stud to guarantee an unimpaired performance during the shelf-life of the product. All electrodes include an ABS sensor element coated with silver. The silver layer is either completely or partially (in the areas in contact with the conductive gel) covered with a silver chloride layer. This is the same construction as the current Skintact® ECG electrode using QR liquid gel conducting media.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Biocompatibility testing confirms the materials are biocompatible and the change does not introduce new risks. The following testing showed no adverse results: Cytotoxicity; Skin Irritation; Sensitization.
The ANSI/AAMI EC 12:2000 "Disposable ECG electrodes" was used to define the requirements for Skintact ECG Electrodes with KL 02 liquid gel. All electrical tests are according to ANSI/AAMI EC 12:2000. A certification to conformance EC12:2000 with this standard has been provided. The testing conducted was: AC impedance; DC offset voltage; Defibrillation overload recovery; Combined offset instability and internal noise; Bias current tolerance.
The shelf life of the electrodes with KL 02 liquid gel was tested in real-time aging. Leonhard Lang has experience for about 20 years of using the current packaging and this ensures all requirements for the 24 months shelf-life of the electrodes. No differences were required for packaging of the KL 02 liquid gel electrodes compared to the predicate electrodes. The results of these tests confirm that the shelf-life of Leonhard Lang Skintact ECG Electrodes with KL 02 liquid gel is well inside the limits defined in ANSVAAMI EC12-2000, both for the first test and the retain samples with real-time aged electrodes. Thus the conclusion that the electrical performance of the KL 02 liquid gel electrodes will stay within the limits during their shelf-life of 24 months. The comparison with the predicate device and the data from the KL 02 liquid gel electrodes shows similar results. The difference is negligible in the limits defined in ANSI/AAMI EC12-2000. Therefore electrical performance of the predicate device and KL 02 liquid gel electrodes is equivalent.
Clinical data: The potential effect of material change to the conducting signal was evaluated by repeating the clinical trace testing per the FDA guidance on the KL 02 liquid gel and determined that the KL 02 liquid gel performs the same. Comparing the ECG traces between KL 02 liquid gel electrodes and QR liquid gel electrodes demonstrate that KL 02 liquid gel electrodes are equivalent to the QR liquid gel electrodes. Three wear test reports for Holter monitoring electrodes used for 48 hours were provided. A physician reviewed the performance of the wear tests and examined for skin irritation. The tests confirm that the performance of electrodes is quite good and that wearing of the electrodes does not cause any skin problems for the volunteers. During a time of 48 hours there was no deterioration of electrical performance and the gel did not dry out. The electrodes were not replaced during this time and did not show any displacement; although the volunteers worked and participated in sports as usual demonstrating the adhesion was also very good.
