Intended Use
The ECG Check is intended for self-testing by patients at home. This 1-lead cardiac monitor allows remote patients to display and transmit their ECG data to medical professionals via a communication device to a remote server. Specifically, the ECG Check is indicated for patients who are concerned about their heart rhythm and have experienced the following symptoms that are suggestive of abnormal heart rhythms: Skipped Beats, Pounding Heart (Palpitations), Heart Racing or Irregular Pulse, Lightheadedness or Faintness, History of Arrhythmias.
Device Description
The ECG Check model ECG01-4S is a personal 1 lead ECG Event Monitor specifically designed to operate with an iPhone 4S handset and allows transmissions to the ECG Check web center. Future iterations will be designed for other handsets, but will not change the fundamental features and capabilities described herein. It will record a preselected amount of user ECG activity, as directed by the user. Typical configuration is to record 30 seconds of ECG per event. The ECG Check, when used in conjunction with the ECG Check web center, uses standard analysis of ECG by the web-based engine for objective assessment of the user in terms similar to a stoplight (Green, Yellow, Red). With a physician prescription, the user will be provided access to be able to trend their results and generate reports to provide to their physician or other caregivers. While performing the recording, the results are continuously sent to the iPhone by secure Bluetooth connection technology and, with a physician prescription, displayed for quality and observation purposes on the iPhone ECG Check application. Users without a physician prescription will not be able to view the waveform. The data can then be stored locally and/or transmitted to the ECG Check web center for analysis and assessment by qualified professionals. The ECG Check web center provides privacy and protection for user medical information and the ability to interact with Cardiac Designs, LLC technicians and engineers, as well as with their own caregivers. The ECG Check Model ECG01-4S is intended for users that seek to manage their heart rate and rhythms over long periods of time.
More Information

No
The summary describes standard ECG analysis by a "web-based engine" and assessment by "qualified professionals," with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats or prevents a disease or condition. This device is for self-testing and monitoring ECG data, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It helps patients and professionals track data but does not actively treat a condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use" explicitly states that the device is for "self-testing by patients at home" due to symptoms "suggestive of abnormal heart rhythms," and allows transmission of ECG data to "medical professionals." The "Device Description" also mentions "standard analysis of ECG by the web-based engine for objective assessment of the user," indicating its role in providing objective information to aid in the diagnosis of heart rhythm issues.

No

The device description explicitly states "The ECG Check model ECG01-4S is a personal 1 lead ECG Event Monitor specifically designed to operate with an iPhone 4S handset". It also mentions "While performing the recording, the results are continuously sent to the iPhone by secure Bluetooth connection technology". This indicates a physical hardware component (the ECG Event Monitor) that acquires the ECG data, which is then transmitted to the software on the iPhone. The performance studies also include testing against hardware standards like IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-47, further confirming the presence of hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • ECG Check Function: The ECG Check device directly measures electrical activity of the heart from the body surface (skin contact). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "self-testing by patients at home" to "display and transmit their ECG data." This is a direct physiological measurement, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, the ECG Check falls under the category of a medical device that performs a physiological measurement, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Comparison of the Technological Features of the New (Modified) Device and Predicate Device:

The new ECG CHECK indications for use are equivalent to the predicate PMP4 SelfCheck™ ECG device. The new ECG CHECK and the predicate PMP4 SelfCheck™ ECG device have identical patient populations and places of use. In addition, the parameters that are measured by the new ECG CHECK device are identical to those measured by the predicate PMP4 SelfCheck™ ECG device.

There are few differences between the new ECG CHECK device and the predicate PMP4 SelfCheck™ ECG device. The main difference is as follows:

2

Leads:

The new ECG CHECK device operates with 1 lead. The predicate PMP4 SelfCheck™ ECG device can operate with 1 lead or with 12 leads. Cardiac Designs, LLC seeks substantial equivalence only to the 1 lead functionality of the predicate PMP4 SelfCheck™ ECG device. Comparisons, testing, and conclusions will be drawn based only on the 1 lead configuration.

Testing:

The ECG CHECK device successfully passed safety and essential performance testing as required by:

IEC 60601-1

IEC 60601-2-47 - Particular requirements for the safety, including essential performance, of ambulatory electrocardiographic systems. ISO 10993-5:2009 Cytotoxicity - MEM Elution Test

ISO 10993-10:2010 Maximization Test for Delayed Hypersensitivity

ISO 10993-10:2010 Intracutaneous (Intradermal) Reactivity Test

Conclusion:

The conclusions drawn from the specifications and performance testing of the new ECG CHECK device demonstrate that the new ECG CHECK device is at least as safe and as effective and performs as well as or better than the Card Guard Scientific Survival, Ltd. predicate PMP4 SelfCheck™ ECG (K012254). For these reasons, we believe the new ECG CHECK device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
