Intended Use

The CG-6108 system is an Arrhythmia ECG Event Recorder designed for self-testing by patients at home and for analysis by medical professionals at a remote Monitoring Center. It comprises a chestworn ECG sensor and a handheld device with a proprietary application, configured to process and transmit the ECG recordings.
The CG-6108 Arrhythmia ECG Event Recorder is intended for use by patients who experience transient symptoms that may suggest cardiac arrhythmia.

Device Description

The CG-6108 system is an Arrhythmia ECG Event Recorder designed for self-testing by patients at home and for analysis by medical professionals at a remote Monitoring Center. It comprises a chestworn ECG sensor and a handheld device with a proprietary application, configured to process and transmit the ECG recordings. The chest-worn unit includes 3 electrodes on a harness and it houses a battery, an ASIC and a Bluetooth transceiver for the acquisition, recording, and transmission of the ECG signal. The ECG signals are transmitted via Bluetooth to the handheld device. When an event is detected it is wirelessly transmitted to the CG Monitoring Center for professional analysis. The handheld device is equipped with shared memory used to record the signal received from the sensor and to allow preand post processing options through the use of this memory in a dual memory loop configuration, both running in parallel. One loop is auto-triggered, with programmable thresholds, that starts recording based on specific rhythms and arrhythmias detected or manually activated by the patient. The second, and longer, recording loop is controlled remotely to provide the physician with more information, when requested by the CG Monitoring Center. The handheld device automatically transmits the recorded ECG, via cellular link, to the Monitoring Center. When cellular service is unavailable the patient can transmit via landline telephone.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the CG-6108 Arrhythmia ECG Event Recorder. It describes the device, its intended use, and claims substantial equivalence to predicate devices, but does not contain a study or data proving that the device meets specific acceptance criteria in terms of diagnostic performance (e.g., sensitivity, specificity for arrhythmia detection).

The document mentions that the PMP4 Medical Application, which is part of the CG-6108 system, "incorporates an algorithm specially developed for detection of arrhythmia artifacts, e.g., AF" and that "A detected artifact triggers transmission of the signal to the CG Monitoring Center for analysis." However, it does not provide any performance metrics for this algorithm.

Instead, the document focuses on demonstrating compliance with various general and medical device-specific standards (e.g., MDD 93/42/EEC, EN 60601-1 for safety and EMC).

Therefore, based on the information provided, it is not possible to fill out the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving device performance in terms of diagnostic accuracy or clinical effectiveness.

Here's what can be extracted based on the provided text, and what cannot:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
