The description focuses on standard signal processing techniques (amplification, digitization, microprocessor processing, delta coding) and rule-based detection algorithms (Pacemaker spike detection, R- peak detection, PT- wave detection). There is no mention of learning from data or adaptive algorithms characteristic of AI/ML.
No
This device is a diagnostic tool used to record ECG data for evaluation and monitoring purposes. It does not provide any treatment or therapy.
Yes
The Intended Use section states that the device is used for “Evaluation of symptoms suggesting arrhythmia or myocardial ischemia,” and “Evaluation of patients for ST segment changes,” which are diagnostic purposes. In addition, the device records and processes ECG data, including R-peak and PT-wave detection, and heart rate variability, which are used to assess a patient's cardiac health, serving a diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "recorder (type reference AR4 or AR12)" which is a physical instrument worn by the patient and includes components like a memory card, batteries, a button, and electrodes. It also describes the process of digitizing analog signals using an A/D converter and a microprocessor, indicating hardware components.
Based on the provided information, the MedilogAR4 and MedilogAR12 Digital Holter Recorders are not In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) devices.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
- Device Function: The MedilogAR4 and MedilogAR12 devices record electrical signals from the body surface (ECG) and measure time intervals between these signals. They do not analyze or process biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to record ECG data for evaluation of symptoms, therapeutic interventions, ST segment changes, patient response to activities, research, and pacemaker evaluation. This is a form of physiological monitoring, not in vitro analysis of biological samples.
Therefore, these devices fall under the category of medical devices used for physiological monitoring, not In Vitro Diagnostics.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The MedilogAR4 and MedilogAR12 Digital Holter Recorders are used to record a 3 channel ECG and to measure the time intervals between consecutive R peaks in the ECG. The system is designed for a measuring duration of more than 24h and is therefore worn by the patient throughout the whole day. The preparation for the recording (attaching electrodes, etc.) is undertaken by the technician or doctor. During the recording, the instrument is carried in a special protective pouch which can be attached to a belt. This instrument is not designed for emergency monitoring purposes (intensive medical monitor); the instrument is only designed to record the ECG and/or information derived from ECG. The recorder is not protected against the effects of defibrillation as outlined in EN60601-2-25.
The instruments also record other information: HF component of the ECG, time point of the Pwave, time point of the T-wave, and time point of the pacemaker pulse.
In addition the MedilogAR12 records the ECG amplitude.
Such monitoring is most frequent used for the indications below:
- Evaluation of symptoms suggesting arrhythmia or myocardial ischemia.
- Evaluation of ECG documenting therapeutic interventions in individual patients or groups of patients.
- Evaluation of patients for ST segment changes (no online ST measurement implemented in recorder)
- Evaluation of a patient's response after resuming occupational or recreational activities (e.g., after M.I. or cardiac surgery)
- Clinical and epidemiological research studies.
- Evaluation of patients with pacemakers
- Reporting of time and frequency domain heart rate variability (no online calculation implemented in recorder)

Device Description
The recorder (type reference AR4 or AR12) is used to record a 3 channel ECG and to measure the time intervals between consecutive R peaks in the ECG. The system is designed for a measuring duration of more than 24h and is therefore worn by the patient throughout the whole day. The preparation for the recording (attaching electrodes, etc.) is undertaken by the technician or doctor. During the recording, the instrument is carried in a special protective pouch which can be attached to a belt. After inserting a memory card and batteries, the instrument can be switched on by pressing and holding the button on the top of the instrument. The recording is stopped by pressing and holding the same button on the top of the instrument or the recorder stops the recording automatically after a pre-set time. The instrument is not designed for emergency monitoring purposes (intensive medical monitor); the instrument is only designed to record the ECG and/or information derived from ECG. The recorder is not protected against the effects of defibrillation as outlined in EN60601-2-25.
As well as measuring the ECG and the beat to beat heart rate, the instrument also records other information: HF component of the ECG (quantifies muscle artefacts or disturbances), time point of the P-wave, time point of the T-wave, and time point of the pacemaker pulse.
In addition the MedilogAR12 records the ECG amplitude - Due to the heart's mechanical connection to the ribcage, breathing causes the electrical heart vector to turn and therefore changes the ECG amplitude. This reveals information about the breathing frequency and QPA (pulse /breathing quotient).
The data is stored digitally on a memory card. After removing the memory card, the data can be read by an appropriate card reader (e.g. PCMCIA slot and adapter).
The MedilogAR4 and MedilogAR12 Digital Holter Recorders measure the voltage difference to derive the electrical ECG from body surface electrodes. A ground electrode is used to keep ground potential of the measured patient and of the recorder at the same level. After amplification the analogue signal is digitised using conventional 16 bit A/D converter. A microprocessor gathers the so sampled data. The microprocessor processes the data before it stores them onto a removable flash memory card (CompactFlash technology). Processing includes:
- Pacemaker spike detection .
- R- peak detection .
- . R-S amplitude measurement
- . PT- wave detection
- . Resample to storage sample rate
- Loss-less delta coding (Huffmann) .
The data stored on the flash memory card is organised in one Windows FAT16 file.

2 Device comparison table
Tel: + 43 (316) 261GOS
The candidate devices Medilog AR4 and Medilog AR12, subject of this 510(k), have been compared to the following predicate devices: Medilog FD4 [510 (k) Number K970902], DXP1000 [510 (k) Number K993618] (marketed as Medilog FD5).
The significant differences to the Medilog FD4 are found as:
- Infrared interface Medilog AR4 and Medilog AR12 recorders provide a infrared interface . instead of a fibre optical cable. This improves the usability, as fibre optic interfaces to PCs became obsolete resently
- Enhanced input voltage range more contemporary electronic provides better ECG quality for . the sake of better ECG quality
- Digital pacemaker detection The Medilog AR4 and Medilog AR12 are equipped with an . internal spike detection algorithm offering a method for pacemaker functional analysis in Holter recordings
- Digital R peak detection The R- peak detection feature is a preprocessing tool for off line . beat detection algorithms to realign off line detected beats at a higher resolution, and, hence, provide a higher accuracy for e.g. HRV (heart rate variability) analysis.
- R-S amplitude measurement -- The Medilog AR12 also records the R-S amplitude, which . represents, according to several publications, an indicator for the heart position and movement in the chest, which is mainly induced by breathing and body position.
The significant differences to the Medilog FD5 (DXP 1000) are found as:
- No display Instead of showing ECG traces directly on the recording device, the Medilog AR4 and Medilog AR12 recorders provide an infrared interface, compatible with PDAs and PCs. The ECG traces can then reviewed on a remote PDA or PC.
- Enhanced input voltage range see discussion above .
- . Digital R peak detection - see discussion above
- R-S amplitude measurement see discussion above .
