No
The description focuses solely on the physical components and materials of the ECG electrode and its function in recording electrical signals. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML.
No.
The Textronics™ ECG Electrode is intended for monitoring and recording electrocardiograph data, not for treating conditions.
Yes
The device is an ECG electrode, which is used in electrocardiograph monitoring and recording procedures to capture electrical signals from the heart. This data is then interpreted by clinicians to diagnose heart conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components including electrodes, exterior housing, and a connection mechanism, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided text, the Textronics™ ECG Electrode is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
- Device Function: The Textronics™ ECG Electrode is a device that makes contact with the patient's skin to acquire electrical signals from the heart for electrocardiograph monitoring and recording. It is used on the body, not for testing samples from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "general electrocardiograph monitoring and recording procedures," which are performed directly on the patient.
Therefore, the Textronics™ ECG Electrode falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological monitoring, not an IVD.

Device Description
The Textronics™ ECG Electrode consists of electrodes, an exterior housing for the electrodes that makes contact with the patient, and a means of connecting the device to an ECG instrument. The Textronics™ ECG Electrode has textilebased electrodes made of electrically conductive yarns knitted together with electrically non-conductive yarns. The conductive yarns are silver coated polyamide (nylon). The non-conductive yarns can include cotton, spandex, polyester, and/or nylon. The Textronics™ ECG Electrode's textile-based electrodes have an exterior housing made of fabric, which can be made out of common textile materials, including polypropylene, nylon, Lycra® Spandex, polyester, and/or cotton. This fabric exterior housing can take the shape of a variety of garments, such as chest straps, wrist bands, shirts, bras, or vests. The Textronics™ ECG Electrode connects to ECG instruments via a conductive snap.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The Textronics™ ECG Electrode has been tested in the lab using ECG recording devices with the commercially available ECG electrodes and the Textronics ™ ECG Electrode used simultaneously. ECGs were recorded, and the tracings were compared. In all instances, the Textronics™ ECG Electrode functioned as intended and the clarity and resolution of the tracings were observed to be substantially equivalent to the commercially available electrodes.

Performance Data
The Textronics™ ECG Electrode has been tested in the lab using ECG recording devices with the commercially available ECG electrodes and the Textronics ™ ECG Electrode used simultaneously. ECGs were recorded, and the tracings were compared. In all instances, the Textronics™ ECG Electrode functioned as intended and the clarity and resolution of the tracings were observed to be substantially equivalent to the commercially available electrodes.
Substantial Equivalence
The Textronics™ ECG Electrode is substantially equivalent to several predicates, including the Unomedical 4560M Unilect Electrodes, the Medi-Trace model 530 ECG Conductive Electrodes and the Accuheart™ Electrode belt. The Textronics™ ECG Electrode has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate devices. The minor technological differences between the Textronics™ ECG Electrode and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the Textronics™ ECG Electrode performs very similarly to commercially available ECG electrodes. Thus, the Textronics™ ECG Electrode is substantially equivalent.

Dear Ms. Hogan:
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. Iisting 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.
