Intended Use
HeRO is intended to acquire, store, analyze, and report on ECG data collected from infants. HeRO is intended to be used under the direct supervision of a licensed health care practitioner in a hospital neonatal or pediatric ICU environment. HeRO is intended to be used for the analysis of the variability in RR intervals (heart rate) and to report measurements of the variability of heart rate data (HRV). The HRV measurements reported by HeRO are specialized in nature, and intended to identify periods of transient decelerations and/or reduced baseline variability in the heart rate. HeRO is intended to provide only specialized HRV measurements and is not intended to produce any interpretation of those measurements or any kind of diagnosis. The specialized HRV measurements produced by HeRO have not been approved by the FDA for any specific clinical diagnosis. HeRO acquires data from a user-supplied ECG monitor, and requires a user-supplied local area network.
Device Description
HeRO 3.0 is comprised of off-the-shelf Personal Computers (PC's) and special-purpose hardware capable of acquiring, storing, analyzing, and reporting ECG data from the cardiac monitoring real-time network. Data is acquired either on a special-purpose Data Acquisition Device (DAD) or via the physiological monitoring network. It is stored and analyzed on a HeRO Server or physiological monitor. Results of the analyses are reported on one or more Viewing Stations. The analysis algorithms identify Heart Rate Variability (HRV) patterns that reflect transient decelerations and/or reduced baseline variability.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on specialized HRV measurements and analysis algorithms without mentioning AI or ML. The analysis is described as identifying patterns, which could be rule-based or algorithmic without necessarily involving learning.

No
The device is intended for analysis and reporting of ECG data and heart rate variability (HRV) measurements, not for treatment or therapy. It explicitly states it is not intended to produce any interpretation or diagnosis, and its measurements have not been approved for any specific clinical diagnosis.

No

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "HeRO is intended to provide only specialized HRV measurements and is not intended to produce any interpretation of those measurements or any kind of diagnosis." It also mentions that the measurements "have not been approved by the FDA for any specific clinical diagnosis." This indicates it's a data acquisition and analysis tool, not a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states that HeRO 3.0 is comprised of "off-the-shelf Personal Computers (PC's) and special-purpose hardware capable of acquiring, storing, analyzing, and reporting ECG data". It also mentions a "special-purpose Data Acquisition Device (DAD)" and that the "HeRO-specific hardware has been third-party tested". This indicates the device includes hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body. The HeRO device acquires and analyzes ECG data, which is a physiological signal measured from the body, not a sample taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • The intended use focuses on analyzing ECG data and heart rate variability. This is a form of physiological monitoring and analysis, not laboratory testing of biological samples.
  • There is no mention of analyzing biological samples. The description clearly states it acquires data from an ECG monitor.

Therefore, the HeRO device falls under the category of a medical device that analyzes physiological signals, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

D. Indications for Use

Identical to Predicate HeRO 2.0:

HeRO is intended to acquire, store, analyze, and report on ECG data collected from infants. HeRO is intended to be used under the direct supervision of a licensed health care practitioner in a hospital neonatal or pediatric ICU environment.

HeRO is intended to be used for the analysis of the variability in RR intervals (heart rate) and to report measurements of the variability of heart rate data (HRV). The HRV measurements reported by HeRO are specialized in nature, and intended to identify periods of transient decelerations and/or reduced baseline variability in the heart rate.

HeRO is intended to provide only specialized HRV measurements and is not intended to produce any interpretation of those measurements or any kind of diagnosis.

The specialized HRV measurements produced by HeRO have not been approved by the FDA for any specific clinical diagnosis.

HeRO acquires data from a user-supplied ECG monitor, and requires a user-supplied local area network.

E. Comparison to Predicate Device

The application HeRO 3.0 is identical to the predicate HeRO 2.0 in Intended Use, Indications for Use, technology (microprocessor-based), and algorithm for processing Heart Rate data to derive an index Score of Heart Rate Variability HRV).

The devices differ in that the graphical interface for the 3.0 can be produced in several languages, and the HRV can be displayed on the patient's bedside physiological monitor screen. Also, the HeRO 3.0 can accept digital input from a physiological monitor via its software interface or by being resident in the physiological monitor's server.

These changes do not raise new types of safety and effectiveness questions. All changes were fully developed and validated within a design control environment compliant with the FDA's Quality System Requirements.

F. Summary of Supporting Data

HeRO 3.0 was developed and is manufactured in accordance with 21CFR820 Ouality System Regulations. The HeRO-specific hardware has been third-party tested in accordance with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2. The HeRO 3.0 System performance matches its product specifications.
