Intended Use
The Transoma Medical Sleuth Implantable ECG Monitoring System is an implantable, patient- and automatically-activated monitoring system that records subcutaneous ECG and is indicated for: - patients with clinical syndromes or situations at increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias or . - patients who experience transient symptoms that may suggest a cardiac arrhythmia.
Device Description
The Transoma Medical Sleuth Implantable ECG Monitoring System is designed to measure and store the patient s electrocardiogram (ECG) during symptomatic and asymptomatic events. The Sleuth System consists of the Model 2010 Implantable Monitoring Device (IMD), the Model 4000 Activator, and the Model 5000 Base Station (Bluetooth Modem). The IMD is an anatomically-shaped Litanium structure which is implanted subcutancously, typically in the left pectoral region. The Activator is a hand-held device carried by the patient. The IMD continuously measures the R-R interval and automatically stores ECG segments when this interval falls outside of pre-defined limits. Using the Activator, the patient can also request storage of ECG segments when symptoms are experienced. The IMD stores a limited quantity of events, which are · ansferred to the Activator via telemetry throughout the day. On a daily basis, the Activator transfers events through the Base Station to a service center for review and analysis.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on hardware components and basic signal processing (R-R interval monitoring) for automatic event detection. There is no mention of AI/ML terms or complex algorithmic analysis beyond pre-defined limits.

No.
The device is for monitoring and diagnosis, not for treating a disease or condition. While its output aids in therapy, the device itself is not therapeutic.

Yes

The device is indicated for patients with symptoms or conditions that suggest cardiac arrhythmias, and it records ECG data that is used to help physicians arrive at a firm diagnosis, as stated in the performance studies.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of an implantable monitoring device (IMD), an activator (hand-held device), and a base station (Bluetooth modem), all of which are hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Transoma Medical Sleuth Implantable ECG Monitoring System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Sleuth System Function: The Sleuth system directly monitors and records electrical activity of the heart (ECG) within the patient's body. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.

Therefore, the Sleuth system falls under the category of an implantable medical device for physiological monitoring, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

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

A clinical study was conducted at 4 major medical centers in Panama. The primary objectives were to evaluate the diagnostic viability of the ECG signals and the performance of the system. Twenty-eight (28) patients were enrolled in the study. The patients had unexplained syncope/ pre-syncope or were at risk of arrhythmias. Patients were monitored continuously (24/7) by the Sleuth device for arrhythmic events. Clinic follow-ups were 7-10 days. 1, 3, and 6 months after implantation.

The cardiac monitoring center has been able to analyze and categorize the ECG waveform data. The Sleuth system has successfully captured events mitiated manually, as well as asymptomatic events which are detected and recorded automatically by the system. As designed, the Sleuth system has also successfully stored and transferred trending data.

The Sleuth ECG system has performed well following implantation in the initial 28 patients. The system has diagnostic viability, since thirtcen of the patients were discovered during monitoring to have arrhythmus, and the Sleuth records were important in helping the physicians arrive at a firm diagnosis. The occurrence of two adverse events within > 4,700 collective patient days of use is within expectation, and these events were neither serious, nor definitively shown to derive from the Sleuth system.

Dear Ms. Raun:

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 Register.
