The device description details a simple electrical connection with a resistor, and there are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts in the provided text.
No.
The device facilitates the display of an intravascular signal and is used for EKG guidance during pacemaker or catheter placement, serving as a diagnostic aid rather than directly treating a disease or condition.
Yes
Explanation: The device displays an intravascular signal in real time to facilitate the placement of a transvenous pacemaker or intravenous catheter, which is a diagnostic function to guide a medical procedure.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components: a pin jack, a resistor, and a housing, which are hardware.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue samples, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or a congenital abnormality, or to determine the safety and compatibility with potential recipients, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
- Device Function: The described device is designed to connect an intravascular electrode to a monitor to display a real-time intravascular signal. This signal is a direct electrical measurement from within the body, not an analysis of a specimen outside the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate the placement of medical devices (pacemakers, catheters) using EKG guidance, which is a real-time physiological monitoring technique.
The device is a component used in a procedure that involves in vivo measurement and monitoring, not in vitro analysis of a specimen.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
This device is designed to connect an intravascular electrode to a monitor through a standard EKG patient lead for the purpose of displaying an intravascular signal in real time. Only the black pinjack is "active". The red pinjack is electrically blind and designed to isolate the proximal electrode from inadvertent stimulation.

Device Description
The device entirely consists of a pin jack (to accept the proximal pin of the electrode) connected in series via a 1000 ohm resistor to a standard EKG eyelet all encased in an appropriate housing. The snap-fit connection between the EKG lead and device eyelet completes the connection to the monitor.

§ 870.3680 Cardiovascular permanent or temporary pacemaker electrode.
(a)
Temporary pacemaker electrode —(1)Identification. A temporary pacemaker electrode is a device consisting of flexible insulated electrical conductors with one end connected to anexternal pacemaker pulse generator and the other end applied to the heart. The device is used to transmit a pacing electrical stimulus from the pulse generator to the heart and/or to transmit the electrical signal of the heart to the pulse generator.(2)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).(b)
Permanent pacemaker electrode —(1)Identification. A permanent pacemaker electrode is a device consisting of flexible insulated electrical conductors with one end connected to an implantable pacemaker pulse generator and the other end applied to the heart. The device is used to transmit a pacing electrical stimulus from the pulse generator to the heart and/or to transmit the electrical signal of the heart to the pulse generator.(2)
Classification. Class III (premarket approval).(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of PDP is required. A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before October 4, 2012, for any permanent pacemaker electrode device that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before October 4, 2012, been found to be substantially equivalent to any permanent pacemaker electrode device that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other pacemaker repair or replacement material device shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

510(k) SUMMARY OF DEVICE
TRADE NAME: PACER ASSIST DEVICE (FORMAL NAME TO BE COPYRIGHTED ON RECEIPT OF 510(K) CLEARANCE)
COMMON NAME: ACCESSORY TO EKG CABLE
CLASSIFICATION NAME: ACCESSORY TO EKG CABLE (CLASSIFICATION TO BE DETERMINED)
CONTACT PERSON: PETER M. ROTHENBERG, M.D., M.A.
As noted in my 510 (k) application, this device is of such simplicity, there are no others directly comparable. Features have been incorporated into those far more technologically advanced. In essence, the subject device provides an electrically safe connection between the proximal pin of an intravascular electrode and a patient EKG lead , the signal ultimately traveling retrograde along a standard EKG cable to a bedside monitor. It would be used to facilitate placement of a transvenous pacemaker or appropriately designed intravenous catheter with EKG guidance rather than the more cumbersome (and expensive) fluoroscopic approach.
The device entirely consists of a pin jack (to accept the proximal pin of the electrode) connected in series via a 1000 ohm resistor to a standard EKG eyelet all encased in an appropriate housing. The snap-fit connection between the EKG lead and device eyelet completes the connection to the monitor.

Trade Name: Transvenous Pacemaker Placement Assist Device Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.3680 and 870.2050 Regulation Name: Accessory to cardiovascular permanent or temporary pacemaker electrode; and biopotential amplifier and signal conditioner Regulatory Class: Class II (two) Product Code: LDF and DRR Dated: October 30, 2003 Received: November 4, 2003
Dear Dr. Rothenberg:
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.
