Intended Use
The ECG-1250A Series Cardiofax S and ECG-1350A Series Cardiofax M Electrocardiographs are intended for medical purposes to process the electrical signals transmitted through two or more electrocardiograph electrodes and to produce a visual display and/or prepare a record of the electrical signals produced by the heart. The product is a portable ECG acquisition terminal, which measures up to 12 lead ECG waveforms. You can record the resting ECG waveforms automatically or manually. In the automatic recording mode, ECG analysis is automatically performed and after ECG waveforms are recorded, the ECG analysis result is automatically printed. The ECG-1250A Series Cardiofax S and ECG-1350A Series Cardiofax M Electrocardiographs are intended to monitor the patient's heart rate electrically, the devices have been developed as the devices to select the operators, amplify, record or measure the electric potential captured by the electrodes attached to the patient's thoracic and extremities parts. Based on the information output by the devices, the devices will help the doctors for their cardiovascular diagnostication. For non-interpretive applications, the ECG-1250A Series Cardiofax S and ECG-1350A Series Cardiofax M Electrocardiographs are intended for use with a full range of patient populations as determined by a clinician. The devices also provide an interpretive ECG program intended for use with patients are 3 years and older. The interpretation program is intended to provide an assessment of ECG waveform rhythm and morphology to assist the physician in diagnosis. Assessments provided by the interpretation program are not intended as the sole basis for diagnosis. Qualified physicians trained in electrocardiography recommend all assessments provided by the interpretation programs for review.

No
The summary describes an "interpretive ECG program" which performs "ECG analysis" and provides an "assessment of ECG waveform rhythm and morphology". While this involves automated analysis, the description does not use terms like AI, ML, deep learning, or neural networks, nor does it provide details about training or test sets, which are typical indicators of AI/ML. The analysis appears to be based on traditional signal processing and rule-based algorithms common in older ECG devices.

No.
The device is used to process and display electrical signals from the heart for diagnostic purposes, not to treat a condition.

Yes

The text explicitly states that the devices "will help the doctors for their cardiovascular diagnostication" and that an "interpretation program is intended to provide an assessment of ECG waveform rhythm and morphology to assist the physician in diagnosis."

No

The device description explicitly states that the device is a "portable ECG acquisition terminal" and includes physical components like a color LCD screen, data transmission capabilities (wired and wireless LAN), and a printer. It also mentions the weight of the device, indicating it is a physical hardware product.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device function: The ECG-1250A and ECG-1350A Series Electrocardiographs work by processing electrical signals transmitted through electrodes placed on the patient's body (thoracic and extremities). They do not analyze specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for processing electrical signals from the heart and producing a visual display and/or record of these signals to assist in cardiovascular diagnosis. This is a direct measurement of physiological activity, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a physiological monitoring or diagnostic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
