Intended Use
The indications for use for the PocketECG v2 monitor are as follows: 1. Patients who have a demonstrated need for cardiac monitoring. These may include but are not limited to patients who require monitoring for: a) non-life threatening arrhythmias such as supraventricular tachycardias (e.g. atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, PACs, PSVT) and ventricular ectopy; b) evaluation of bradyarhythmias and intermittent bundle branch block, including after cardiovascular surgery and myocardial infarction; and c) arrhythmias associated with co-morbid conditions such as hyperthyroidism or chronic lung disease 2. Patients with symptoms that may be due to cardiac arrhythmias. These may include but are not limited to symptoms such as: a) dizziness or lightheadedness: b) syncope of unknown etiology in which arrhythmias are suspected or need to be excluded; and c) dyspnea (shortness of breath) 3. Patients with palpitations with or without known arrhythmias to obtain correlation of rhythm with symptoms. 4. Patients who require monitoring of effect of drugs to control ventricular rate in various atrial arrhythmias (e.g. atrial fibrillation) 5. Patients recovering from cardiac surgery who are indicated for outpatient arrhythmia monitoring 6. Patients with diagnosed sleep disordered breathing including sleep annea (obstructive, central) to evaluate possible nocturnal arrhythmias 7. Patients requiring arrhythmia evaluation of etiology of stroke or transient cerebral ischemia, possibly secondary to atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. 8. Data from the device may be used by another device to analyze, measure or report OT interval. The device is not intended to sound any alarms for OT interval changes.
Device Description
PocketECG v2 - Medicalgorithmics Unified Arrhythmia Diagnostic System is an ambulatory ECG monitor which analyzes electrographic signal, classifies all detected heart beats and recognizes rhythm abnormalities. All detection results, including annotations for every detected heart beat and the entire ECG signal are transmitted via cellular telephony network to a remote server accessible by a Monitoring Center for reviewing by trained medical staff. The patient worn transmitter streams via Bluetooth link the ECG signal to a Windows Mobile or Android OS operated PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) device with mobile phone capabilities. The PDA runs Medicalgorithmics proprietary software which produces QRS annotations and manages the data transmission. The PDA device transmits and stores the entire ECG on its storage card.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description mentions proprietary software for QRS annotations and data transmission, but does not explicitly state or imply the use of AI or ML for analysis or classification. The analysis is reviewed by trained medical staff.

No
The device is an ambulatory ECG monitor that diagnoses arrhythmias and transmits data for review by medical staff. It does not provide any treatment or therapy.

Yes

The device is explicitly described as the "Medicalgorithmics Unified Arrhythmia Diagnostic System" and its indications for use involve identifying and monitoring various cardiac arrhythmias and related symptoms, which are diagnostic activities.

No

The device description explicitly states it includes a "patient worn transmitter" and a "PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) device," indicating hardware components are part of the system.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a patient's health. The PocketECG v2 monitor analyzes electrical signals from the heart (ECG), which is a physiological measurement, not a biological sample.
  • The device description clearly states it's an "ambulatory ECG monitor which analyzes electrographic signal." This confirms it's working with electrical activity, not biological specimens.
  • The intended use focuses on monitoring and detecting cardiac arrhythmias based on the electrical activity of the heart. There is no mention of analyzing any biological samples.

Therefore, the PocketECG v2 monitor falls under the category of a medical device that performs physiological monitoring, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
