No
The provided 510(k) summary does not mention AI, ML, deep learning, or any related terms, nor does it describe features or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML-powered devices (like training/test sets, AUC, etc.).

No
The device is intended to "record, display, store and transfer single-channel electrocardiogram (ECG) rhythms," which are diagnostic functions, not therapeutic ones.

Yes
The device is described as an ECG monitor which records, displays, stores, and transfers rhythms, indicating its role in providing data relevant for diagnosis.

No

The summary describes a "Heart Monitor" which is typically a hardware device that records ECG rhythms. While it mentions displaying, storing, and transferring data, the core function of recording ECG rhythms strongly implies a hardware component is involved. The lack of a "Device Description" section prevents definitive confirmation, but the term "Heart Monitor" is the primary indicator.

Based on the provided information, the AliveCor Heart Monitor is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for recording, displaying, storing, and transferring single-channel electrocardiogram (ECG) rhythms. This is a physiological measurement of electrical activity in the heart, not an analysis of a sample taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples.
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening based on analysis of biological samples.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. The AliveCor Heart Monitor directly measures a physiological signal from the body's surface.
