Intended Use
The Heart Rate Turbulence Analysis Program is intended for use in a hospital, doctor's office, or clinic environment under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner. The intended use of the Heart Rate Turbulence Analysis Program is to analyze ECG signals, provide measurements of Heart Rate Turbulence in patients undergoing cardiovascular disease testing for interpretation by qualified healthcare practitioner for the purposes of risk stratification and prediction of sudden cardiac death. The Heart Rate Turbulence Analysis Program only provides measurements, not interpretations. The Heart Rate Turbulence Analysis Program is to be used in conjunction with the patient's clinical history, symptoms, and other diagnostic tests for final clinical judgment.
Device Description
The Heart Rate Turbulence Analysis Program is a software algorithm that runs in GE Medical Systems Information Technologies electrocardiographic equipment.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a software algorithm for analyzing ECG signals and providing measurements, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts. The performance studies focus on compliance with standards and software verification/validation, not on training or testing of AI/ML models.

No
The device analyzes ECG signals and provides measurements for risk stratification and prediction, but it does not directly treat or alleviate a medical condition. It is a diagnostic tool used in conjunction with other clinical information.

Yes

The device analyzes ECG signals to provide measurements for risk stratification and prediction of sudden cardiac death, which are diagnostic purposes when used in conjunction with other clinical information.

Yes

The device description explicitly states it is a "software algorithm" that runs on existing electrocardiographic equipment, indicating it is a software-only component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The Heart Rate Turbulence Analysis Program analyzes ECG signals. ECG signals are electrical signals measured directly from the body's surface, not from a specimen taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to analyze ECG signals for risk stratification and prediction of sudden cardiac death. This analysis is based on physiological measurements from the patient, not on testing of a biological sample.

Therefore, because the device analyzes signals directly from the patient's body rather than a specimen taken from the body, it falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description:The Heart Rate Turbulence Analysis Program is a software algorithm that runs in GE Medical Systems Information Technologies electrocardiographic equipment.
Intended Use:The Heart Rate Turbulence Analysis Program is intended for use in a hospital, doctor's office, or clinic environment under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner. The intended use of the Heart Rate Turbulence Analysis Program is to analyze ECG signals, provide measurements of Heart Rate Turbulence in patients undergoing cardiovascular disease testing for interpretation by qualified healthcare practitioner for the purposes of risk stratification and prediction of sudden cardiac death. The Heart Rate Turbulence Analysis Program only provides measurements, not interpretations. The Heart Rate Turbulence Analysis Program is to be used in conjunction with the patient's clinical history, symptoms, and other diagnostic tests for final clinical judgment.
Technology:The Heart Rate Turbulence Analysis Program employs the same functional technology as the predicate device for calculating variations of heart rate (RR) intervals. An enhancement was made to the reporting of the time domain measurements to include the variation in RR intervals associated with a single premature ventricular contraction (PVC).
Test Summary:The Heart Rate Turbulence Analysis Program and its host electrocardiograph comply with the voluntary standards as detailed in Section 9 of this submission. The following quality assurance measures were applied to the development of the Heart Rate Turbulence algorithm:
