No
The device description explicitly states that "The data obtained during monitoring is not analyzed at the time of recording. After the recording is complete, the data must later be downloaded to a compatible NorthEast Monitoring Holtec or Event analysis system (TelePro Software) to be analyzed." This indicates that the device itself is a data recorder and does not perform analysis, which is where AI/ML would typically be applied in this context. Furthermore, the analysis software is a separate component cleared under a different K number. There are no mentions of AI, DNN, or ML in the provided text.
No.
The document states that the data obtained from the device is for diagnostic evaluation and is "not intended to replace real time telemetry monitoring for patient suspected of having life threatening arrhythmias." This indicates a diagnostic purpose rather than therapeutic intervention.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "Detection of Arrhythmias" and "diagnostic evaluation of transient symptoms (such as dizziness, palpitations, syncope, and chest pain)." These uses clearly indicate a diagnostic purpose for the device.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components such as a digital recorder, patient cables, SD card, and battery power, indicating it is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, the Telaheart Digital Recorder is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
- Telaheart Function: The Telaheart Digital Recorder is an ambulatory monitor that records the electrical activity of the heart (ECG) while being worn by the patient. It collects physiological data directly from the patient's body.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: The description explicitly states that "The data obtained during monitoring is not analyzed at the time of recording. After the recording is complete, the data must later be downloaded to a compatible NorthEast Monitoring Holtec or Event analysis system (TelePro Software) to be analyzed." This further confirms that the device itself is a data recorder, not a device that performs analysis on a biological sample.
Therefore, the Telaheart Digital Recorder falls under the category of a physiological monitoring device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Telaheart Digital Recorder can be used in Holter mode and Event Recorder mode.
Holter Mode
Detection of Arrhythmias, Efficacy of Pharmacological Treatment, and Pacemaker Evaluation.
Event Recorder
The Telaheart event recorder module is a patient activated device designed to record and for diagnostic evaluation of transient symptoms (such as dizziness, palpitations, syncope, and chest pain). Once data is recorded, the data is transmitted via telephone for evaluation.

Device Description
An ambulatory monitor, sometimes called a Holter, is a painless method to monitor the heart for a period of time (such as 24 hours, or 72 hours). The Holter is a small recording device that records the heart beat while being worn by the patient.
The physician or technician places electrodes and wires on the patient. The wires are connected to the Holter or digital recorder.
The Telaheart Digital Recorder has two modes that allow it to be used either as a standard Holter monitor or a looping Event recorder. The device is designed to facilitate ambulatory cardiac monitoring on the order of a physician, of those patients (including infants weighing less than 10 kg) who may herefit from such monitoring.
The data obtained during monitoring is not analyzed at the time of recording. After the recording is complete, the data must later be downloaded to a compatible NorthEast Monitoring Holtec or Event analysis system (TelePro Software) to be analyzed. The Holter Analysis Software was cleared by FDA under K930564.
The device is not intended to replace real time telemetry monitoring for patient suspected of having life threatening arrhythmias.
The Telaheart Digital Recorder package includes:
- Telaheart Digital Recorder
- Operation Manual
- SD Card
- Patient Cable
The Telaheart digital recorder is powered by one 1.5 volt AA alkaline battery (MN1500 or the equivalent), one AA rechargeable NiMH (nickel metal hydride) battery, or one AA Eveready Lithium Lqurbattery. Batteries should not be re-used for a second patient. The batteries are not included, users are instructed to purchase 2 AA batteries.
The device is compatible with standard silver / silver chloride ECG electrodes are not provided with the subject device. The user is instructed to purchase standard silver / silver chloride ECG electrodes.
The Telaheart digital recorder uses NorthEast Monitoring Telaheart patient cables with either 2, 5, or 7 patient leads. The patient cable connects to the recorder via a connector on the recorder. A patient cable is provided with the Telaheart Digital Recorder.
The Telaheart has an LCD that is used to display the time of day (during the recording), prompts and error messages (during the hookup procedure or during recording), or lead quality (during the hookup procedure).
The data collected by the Telaheart digital recorder is stored on a removable SD Card.
The Telaheart is packaged in a plastic bag in a cardboard shipping carton. The shipping carton will also include a patient cable and an SD Card.

Dear Mr. Azary:
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 Revister.
