No
The document describes a device that uses a specific "Analytic Spectral Method" for signal processing and measurement of T-wave alternans. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training sets, test sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML models. The validation focuses on comparing the device's performance to a predicate device using the same method.
No
The device is described as being for "recording of electrocardiograms, vector cardiograms and measurement of Microvolt T-Wave Alternans" to "predicts increased risk of a cardiac event". This indicates a diagnostic or prognostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device "predicts increased risk of a cardiac event" and "The Cambridge Heart MTWA OEM Module provides T-wave alternans diagnostic capabilities to standard stress labs." Furthermore, it mentions that the interpretive results "should be reviewed by a qualified physician," all of which indicate a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description explicitly states that the MTWA OEM Module consists of a "patient module" and "analysis software." It also mentions "seven proprietary multi-segment Micro-V Alternans™ Sensors" and a "belt-worn Patient module" that provides digitized data. This indicates the device includes hardware components in addition to the software.
Based on the provided text, the Cambridge Heart MTWA OEM Module is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to obtain information for diagnostic or monitoring purposes.
- Device Function: The Cambridge Heart MTWA OEM Module records and analyzes electrical signals from the heart (electrocardiograms and T-wave alternans) using electrodes and sensors attached to the patient's skin. This is a non-invasive procedure that does not involve the collection or analysis of specimens from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "recording of electrocardiograms, vector cardiograms and measurement of Microvolt T-Wave Alternans" and predicting risk of cardiac events based on these measurements. This is a physiological measurement and analysis, not an in vitro test.
Therefore, the device falls under the category of a diagnostic device that analyzes physiological signals from the body, rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device that analyzes specimens from the body.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The MTWA OEM Module is intended for the recording of electrocardiograms. vector cardiograms and measurement of Microvolt T-Wave Alternans* at rest and during ECG stress testing.
The presence of Microvolt T-wave Alternans as measured by the analytic spectral method of the MTWA OEM Module in patients with known, suspected or at risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmia predicts increased risk of a cardiac event (ventricular tachyarrhythmia or sudden death).
The MTWA OEM Module should be used only as an adjunct to clinical history and the results of other non-invasive and/or invasive tests. The interpretive results of the MTWA OEM Module should be reviewed by a qualified physician.
The predictive value of T-wave Alternans for cardiac events has not been established in patients with active, untreated ischemia.
*Microvolt T-wave Alternans is defined as T-wave alternans which (a) is measured from high-resolution multi-segment sensors, (b) is present in leads X, Y, Z, VM or two adjacent precordial leads, (c) is at the level of 1.9 microvolts after signal optimization and subtraction of the background noise level, (d) is at least three standard deviations greater than the background noise level, (e) has an onset heart rate at or below 110 beats per minute, and (f) is sustained for all heart rates above the onset heart rate.

Device Description
The MTWA OEM Module consist of a patient module and an analysis software operating on a PC platform meeting the technical requirement specified in Product Requirement Document (PRD) for the module. The MTWA OEM Module is intended for the recording of electrocardiograms, vector cardiograms and measurement of Microvolt T-Wave Alternans* at rest and during ECG stress testing. The alternans levels reported in K983012, K001034, K003492 and K022149, K050225 were measured using the Analytic Spectral Method. This method consists of several computational steps that combine to form a unique analytical process. The Microvolt T-wave Alternans measurement, the output of this specific process, has been shown to be useful in predicting ventricular tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.
The Cambridge Heart MTWA OEM Module provides T-wave alternans diagnostic capabilities to standard stress labs. The Analytic Spectral Method of Alternans Processing used in the Cambridge Heart MTWEA OEM Module is intended for the measurement of microvolt T-Wave alternans at rest and during treadmill, ergometer and pharmacologic stress testing.
The Alternans test using the Cambridge Heart MTWA OEM Module is performed with seven standard stress test electrodes and seven proprietary multi-segment Micro-V Alternans™ Sensors. The electrodes and sensors are attached through a leadwire set to the belt-worn Patient module, which provides digitized data to the MTWA OEM Module.

Similarities and Differences to Predicates
The MTWA OEM Module (new) is essentially the same device as in K050225 with the exception of the modification described in this pre-market submission. which essentially allows a user to apply the module as a "plug in" to a compatible electrocardiograph or similar device. The MTWA QEM Module uses the same patient interface, the same data acquisition module (PM3), and the same application software and analysis method (Analytic Spectral Method)as the HearTwave II Cardiac Diagnostic System (K050225) for measuring T-Wave Alternans. The MTWA OEM Module and the predicate device have the same indications for use and utilize the same software to process analytical results.
The Cambridge Heart MTWA OEM Module was validated for specific use with the Cardiac Science Q-Stress System (K082173). Both design and process validations were conducted using the OEM Module incorporated into the Qstress system. Validation parameters verified that all compatibility requirements are met and that the performance of the Cambridge Heart TWA OEM module is identical to its predicate device, HearTwave II Cardiac Diagnostic System (K050025), Validations and compatibility testing of the OEM Module included. but were not limited to: Data Management, Main Application and Processing
