Intended Use
The StimLab Cardiac stimulator is intended to be used for diagnostic electrical stimulation of the heart for the purpose of initiation and termination of tachyarrhythmias, refractory measurements and measurements of electrical conduction.
Device Description
The StimLab™ is an EPS320 cardiac stimulator modified by the addition of a remote bedside touch monitor. The system consists of a manually controllable pulse generator issuing standard cardiac pacing pulses, normally controlled by a separate computer containing a graphic touch user interface and pre-programmed complex stimulation patterns suited to electrophysiology (EP) studies. In the StimLab™, a second remotely locatable beside control touch screen duplicates the video display and touch controls allowing verification and control of stimulator settings from two locations, one typically located in an electrophysiology laboratory central control room and the second at the operating table. The device is not a life support device and makes no diagnoses.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on manual control, pre-programmed patterns, and remote display duplication, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is used for diagnostic electrical stimulation of the heart to initiate and terminate tachyarrhythmias, take refractory measurements, and measure electrical conduction, rather than directly treating a condition.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended to be used for diagnostic electrical stimulation of the heart".

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of a "manually controllable pulse generator" and a "remote bedside touch monitor," indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "diagnostic electrical stimulation of the heart" for purposes like initiating/terminating tachyarrhythmias and measuring electrical properties. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body (in vivo) to gather information, not an analysis of samples taken from the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description clearly states it's a "cardiac stimulator" that issues "cardiac pacing pulses." This is a therapeutic and diagnostic device that works by applying electrical signals to the heart.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the StimLab Cardiac stimulator is an in vivo diagnostic and therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for use (unaltered from predicate device):

The StimLab cardiac stimulator is intended to be used for diagnostic electrical stimulation of the heart for the purpose of initiation and termination of tachyarrhythmias, refractory measurements and measurements of electrical conduction. This is the same intended use as previously cleared for the EPS320, K011826.

Predicate Device

The predicate devices is the Micropace EPS320 Cardiac Stimulator - K011826, 24 Jan 2002

Device Description

The StimLab™ is an EPS320 cardiac stimulator modified by the addition of a remote bedside touch monitor. The system consists of a manually controllable pulse generator issuing standard cardiac pacing pulses, normally controlled by a separate computer containing a graphic touch user interface and pre-programmed complex stimulation patterns suited to electrophysiology (EP) studies. In the StimLab™, a second remotely locatable beside control touch screen duplicates the video display and touch controls allowing verification and control of stimulator settings from two locations, one typically located in an electrophysiology laboratory central control room and the second at the operating table. The device is not a life support device and makes no diagnoses.

Materials

The materials in the StimLab™ Cardiac stimulator are suitable for their intended use and have been used in previously cleared products. The device is not patient contacting and therefore no biocompatibility testing was required.

Testing

Appropriate risk-analysis driven product testing was conducted to evaluate conformance to product specification and substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

Summary of Substantial Equivalence

The StimLab™ Cardiac Stimulator is equivalent to the predicate product. The indications for use, basic overall function, and materials used are equivalent.
