No
The description focuses on the physical components and materials of an electrode for transmitting electrical signals, with no mention of AI or ML for processing or interpreting the data.
No
The device is an electrode that transmits electrical signals from the body surface for diagnostic purposes (ECG/VCG); it does not provide therapy.
Yes
The device transmits electrical signals from the body surface to produce an electrocardiogram (ECG) or vectorcardiogram, which are diagnostic tools used to assess heart function.
No
The device description clearly details physical components like foam, adhesive, sensor elements, and gel, 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:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- This device is an electrode applied to the surface of the body to transmit electrical signals from the body to a processor. It is used in vivo (within the body) to capture physiological signals, not to analyze samples in vitro.
The description clearly states its function is to facilitate the production of an electrocardiogram or vectorcardiogram by transmitting electrical signals from the body surface. This is a typical function of a medical device used for physiological monitoring, not an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Ambu® Blue Sensor MRX electrode is applied to the surface of the body to transmit the electrical signal at the body surface to a processor in order to produce an electrocardiogram or vectorcardiogram.
The electrode is designed for use in MR environment, therefore the electrode is MR safe, and for X-ray purposes, therefore the electrode is x-ray translucent.
The electrode is for single patient use only.
The MRX disposable ECG electrode is applied to the surface of the body to transmit the electrical signal at the body surface to a processor in order to produce an electrocardiogram.
The electrode is made for MR environment and made for X-ray purposes, therefore is MR safe and X-ray translucent.
The electrode is made for single patient use only.

Device Description
Each electrode consists of a foam material with an adhesive to be mounted on the patient.
The sensor element consists of a foil furnished with a conductive carbon filled polymer snap and a Ag/AgCl sensor point.
On top of the sensor point a sponge is positioned filled with a wet gel that conducts the signal from the patient further on to the electrode. The choise of materials ensures a non-ferromagnetic electrode which makes it x-ray translucent and MR safe.
The electrodes are delivered on a foil sheet with 8 electrodes and 32 electrodes are packed in a laminated foil pouch.
The electrode is non sterile and intended for single use.

Name of device:
Ambu® Blue Sensor MRX, ECG electrode Catalogue number: MRX-00-S
Classification:
Class II 21 CFR 870.2360 Electrocardiograph electrode.
Intended Use:
The Ambu® Blue Sensor MRX electrode is applied to the surface of the body to transmit the electrical signal at the body surface to a processor in order to produce an electrocardiogram or vectorcardiogram.
1
The electrode is designed for use in MR environment, therefore the electrode is MR safe, and for X-ray purposes, therefore the electrode is x-ray translucent.
The electrode is for single patient use only.
Predicate Device:
The predicate device used for the purpose of substantial equivalence under this submission was the Blue Sensor SUPAtab ECG Electrode (K983689).
The MRX electrode under this submission is almost identical with the SUPAtab electrode. The most important change is that the metal snap on the SUPAtab electrode has been changed to a snap made from a carbon filled polymer on the MRX electrode.
Both electrodes have an Ag/AgCl sensor material and they consist of the same materials except from the snap.
The SUPAtab electrode is not X-ray translucent and MR safe, however, the MRX electrode is X-ray translucent and MR safe. Both electrode types meet the AAMI EC12 2000 standard and have a shelf life of 2 years. They are both designed for single patient use only.
Description:
Each electrode consists of a foam material with an adhesive to be mounted on the patient.
The sensor element consists of a foil furnished with a conductive carbon filled polymer snap and a Ag/AgCl sensor point.
On top of the sensor point a sponge is positioned filled with a wet gel that conducts the signal from the patient further on to the electrode. The choise of materials ensures a non-ferromagnetic electrode which makes it x-ray translucent and MR safe.
The electrodes are delivered on a foil sheet with 8 electrodes and 32 electrodes are packed in a laminated foil pouch.
The electrode is non sterile and intended for single use.
