No
The document describes standard signal processing technology for noise reduction and data formatting, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation. The analysis is performed by a separate device (PaceArt System) and/or medical professionals.
No.
The device is strictly a recorder and transmitter of ECG data for diagnostic purposes, not a therapeutic intervention. It is not intended to evaluate the signal, provide alarms, or administer any form of treatment.
Yes
The device records ECG data from users experiencing symptoms associated with abnormal cardiac rhythms (e.g., palpitations, lightheadedness). This recorded data is then transmitted to medical professionals for analysis, which aids in "diagnosing" the underlying rhythm concerns. The "Intended Use" explicitly mentions its purpose for individuals "concerned about their heart rhythm" and its role in allowing "medical professionals" to receive "ECG data."
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "battery operated, user-activated recorder and transmitter" that "acquires an ECG signal and produces a single lead ECG" and "converts the signal stream into a specific data format where it is stored on a memory chip". This indicates the presence of hardware components for signal acquisition, processing, storage, and transmission, making it a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, the Signalife Fidelity 200 Cardiac Event Recorder is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Signalife Fidelity 200 directly records an electrical signal from the body (ECG) and transmits it. It does not analyze a biological specimen.
- The device description clearly states it acquires an ECG signal and transmits the data for analysis by another device or medical professionals. It does not perform the diagnostic analysis itself.
- The intended use is to record and transmit ECG data for medical professionals to review, not to perform a diagnostic test on a biological sample.
Therefore, the Signalife Fidelity 200 Cardiac Event Recorder falls under the category of a medical device that records physiological signals, but it is not an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Signalife Fidelity 200 Cardiac Event Recorder is a battery operated, single lead ECG event recorder capable of recording one, 45-second event of ECG data for the purpose of transtelephonic transmission to a cardiac monitoring station for analysis and diagnosis by a medical professional where cardiac monitoring is desired by a subscriber to the service. The system includes recording of a single 45-second ECG and transtelephonic transmission of the recorded data to a monitoring station. The ECG recording is then transferred to another device, such as the PaceArt® System K024278 manufactured by Medtronic, Inc. for ECG analysis. The Signalife Fidelity 200 Cardiac Event Recorder is not intended to sound any physiological alarms. The Signalife Fidelity 200 Cardiac Event Recorder can be obtained over-the-counter (OTC) or direct-to-consumer by qualified individuals who wish to have access to a cardiac monitoring service.
The Signalife Fidelity 200 Cardiac Event Recorder is a battery operated, user-THC Olynalifo Transmitter intended to recorder and transmitter intended to record an ECG by activated EOO overil 1866, as service.

Device Description
The device acquires an ECG signal and produces a single lead ECG. Upon user activation, an ECG signal is acquired and digitized producing a 45-second ECG recording utilizing the company's signal processing technology.
The Signalife Fidelity 200 Cardiac Event Recorder converts the signal stream into a specific data format where it is stored on a memory chip for transtelephonic transmission to and analysis by another device such as the PaceArt System K024278 manufactured by Medtronic, Inc.
Recorded data is not real time but stored for further analysis. The Signalife Fidelity 200 Cardiac Event Recorder is not intended to evaluate the signal or alarm.
The fundamental technology of the Signalife Fidelity 200 Cardiac Event Recorder is the same as that of the predicate devices. The Signalife Fidelity 200 Cardiac Event Recorder employs the company's signal processing technology to minimize noise in the ECG signal created by the ambulatory nature of the signal source.
