Intended Use
INFINITY MegaCare is a software application for viewing, manual editing, printing, and archiving of digitized electrocardiograph records from Rest ECG devices, Exercise ECG devices, Ambulance ECG devices, Holter ECG devices and the Infinity Monitoring System. INFINITY MegaCare is intended to provide analysis of Rest ECG's and to provide preliminary data for editing and confirmation by a physician. INFINITY MegaCare can provide a serial comparison of Rest ECG data to facilitate the review of current and previous Rest ECG's. INFINITY MegaCare is designed for network compatibility to facilitate retrieval of data and to interface with other hospital information systems though HL7 protocols.
Device Description
INFINITY MegaCare is a computer software program that allows viewing, manual editing, printing and archiving of digitized electrocardiograph records from Rest ECG devices, Exercise ECG devices, ambulance ECG devices, Holter ECG devices and the INFINITY Monitoring System. INFINITY MegaCare uses the Microsoft Windows 2000 server operating system, Microsoft IIS Web server, and Microsoft SOL Server 2000 relational database. The system consists of a software application, which is installed on a user provided IBM compatible server running the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server operation system. MegaCare utilizes the ECG analysis algorithm developed under the direction of Dr. Peter MacFarlane at the University of Glasgow and used for the INFINITY MVWS Rest ECG (K980625) and Burdick's Eclipse 4 Electrocardiograph (K946281).
More Information

No
The document explicitly states that the device uses an "ECG analysis algorithm developed under the direction of Dr. Peter MacFarlane at the University of Glasgow," which is a traditional algorithmic approach, not AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, DNN, training sets, or test sets, which are typical indicators of AI/ML technology in a 510(k) summary.

No
The device is a software application for viewing, editing, printing, and archiving electrocardiograph records and providing analysis. It does not directly treat or manage a disease or condition.

Yes

The device "provides analysis of Rest ECG's and to provide preliminary data for editing and confirmation by a physician," indicating it contributes to the diagnostic process by analyzing medical data.

Yes

The device description explicitly states that INFINITY MegaCare is a "computer software program" and a "software application" installed on a user-provided server. It processes digitized ECG records from various hardware devices but is itself described solely as software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that INFINITY MegaCare processes digitized electrocardiograph records. These records are electrical signals measured on the body, not samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • The analysis is of electrical signals, not biological or chemical properties of a sample. The device analyzes ECG waveforms, which represent the electrical activity of the heart. This is distinct from analyzing the composition or properties of a biological sample.

Therefore, INFINITY MegaCare falls under the category of a medical device that processes physiological signals, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Greco:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4646.
