Intended Use
The Cardiac Science CareCenter MD is intended to be used by trained operators under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner on adult and pediatric populations. The device is designed to acquire, display, process, record, analyze and output 12 lead ECG data during periods of physiological stress, induced through exercise or pharmacological means or during resting ECG testing. In addition, the CareCenter MD provides interfaces for acquiring physiological data from ancillary devices (such as spirometry and blood pressure) and records ECG in real time with and without arrhythmia detection. The system provides automatic interpretation of resting ECG on adult populations. No automatic interpretation of resting ECGs is provided for pediatric populations. Interpretive statements should be overviewed and approved by trained physicians. The CareCenter MD may provide interfaces for the control of external devices such as a treadmill or an ergometer, and for communicating with centralized computer systems via a network. The device is intended to provide non-diagnostic patient data management functions as both a selfcontained, stand-alone application and by interfacing with Electronic Medical Records systems. The device is not intended to be used as a vital signs or long term physiological monitor. The CareCenter MD is not intended to be used as a transport device.
Device Description
The Cardiac Science CareCenter MD is a medical device system comprised of software and hardware acquisition modules used for acquisition, evaluation and administration of 12-channel electrocardiograph (ECG) from patients both at rest and during exercise (stress testing). The Cardiac Science CareCenter MD software is installed on a customer provided personal computer (PC). CareCenter MD is a diagnostic device capable of ECG monitoring; ST analysis and arrhythmia detection; generation, review, and storage of stress reports; interpretation of resting ECG reports; and treadmill or ergometer control. Approved serial devices such as non-invasive blood pressure measurement are supported by CareCenter MD for stress testing.

No
The summary mentions "automatic interpretation of resting ECG" but does not use terms like AI, ML, deep learning, or neural networks, which are typically associated with AI/ML-based interpretation. The description of performance studies also focuses on safety and bench testing, not validation of an AI/ML algorithm.

No
The device is described as a "diagnostic device" used for acquiring, displaying, processing, recording, analyzing, and outputting ECG data, as well as providing automatic interpretation of resting ECG. It is explicitly stated that the device "is not intended to be used as a vital signs or long term physiological monitor." These functions are associated with diagnosis rather than treatment or therapy.

Yes
The 'Device Description' section explicitly states, "CareCenter MD is a diagnostic device capable of ECG monitoring; ST analysis and arrhythmia detection; generation, review, and storage of stress reports; interpretation of resting ECG reports; and treadmill or ergometer control."

No

The device description explicitly states that the Cardiac Science CareCenter MD is a medical device system comprised of software and hardware acquisition modules.

Based on the provided information, the Cardiac Science CareCenter MD is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body. The CareCenter MD acquires and analyzes electrical signals (ECG data) from the patient's body, not samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • The intended use and device description focus on physiological measurements and analysis. The device is designed for acquiring, displaying, processing, and analyzing ECG data, as well as integrating with other physiological measurements like blood pressure and spirometry. This is characteristic of devices used for in vivo (within the living body) diagnostics.

Therefore, the Cardiac Science CareCenter MD falls under the category of a medical device used for in vivo diagnostic purposes, specifically related to cardiac function.

  • · Devices are all electrocardiographs.
  • · Devices are all classified by FDA as Class II medical devices.
  • · Devices have a common configuration ECG data acquisition units, software for ECG processing, etc.
  • · Devices have wired and/or wireless ECG data transmission.
  • · Devices all have the same intended use collect electrocardiograph (ECG) data.
