Device Description
HRV Tools is a software product (supplied on a CD) that analyzes the basic rhythms of the RR intervals in electrocardiograms, both in the time domain (analysis of time intervals) and in the frequency domain (spectral analysis).
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on traditional time and frequency domain analysis of R-R intervals, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts. The performance studies also do not suggest the use of AI/ML.

No
This device analyzes the basic rhythms of R-R intervals in electrocardiograms and provides numerical analysis, but it explicitly states that it does not make diagnoses. Therefore, it is a diagnostic tool, not a therapeutic one.

No

The device description explicitly states, "It only provides numerical analyses of the input electrocardiogram - the program does not make diagnoses."

Yes

The device description explicitly states "HRV Tools is a software product (supplied on a CD)". The performance studies focus on non-clinical tests related to algorithms and data analysis, further supporting its software nature.

Based on the provided information, it is highly likely that this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic). Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device "only provides numerical analyses of the input electrocardiogram - the program does not make diagnoses." IVDs are typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device analyzes in vivo data (ECG signals from a patient).
  • Device Description: The description confirms it analyzes "RR intervals in electrocardiograms," which are electrical signals from the heart, not biological specimens.
  • Lack of Mention of Specimens: There is no mention of analyzing any type of biological specimen.
  • Focus on ECG Analysis: The entire description revolves around analyzing ECG data.

While the device provides analytical results, the crucial distinction is that it analyzes in vivo physiological signals rather than in vitro biological specimens. This places it outside the typical definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-clinical tests:

  1. Tests with input data from the MIT database
  2. Validation tests
  3. Tests to check the operation of the algorithms
  4. Accuracy tests

Clinical tests are not necessary since IIRV Tools uses the same technology as the predicate devices.
Conclusions:
HRV Tools is equivalent in safety and efficacy to the legally marketed predicate devices.
