The device is intended for diagnosis and monitoring of heart conditions, not for treatment.
Yes
The device is described as a 12-lead electrocardiograph (ECG) intended for "cardiac monitoring and diagnosis." It records and transmits ECG data for healthcare provider interpretation to detect "abnormal heart function" in patients concerned about their heart health.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system includes a "PhysioGlove" which incorporates electrodes and electronic elements (data acquisition and recording/transmitting circuitry), making it a hardware component. While software is a crucial part of the system (Mobile Platform Software and MTS), the device is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, the PhysioGlove ET is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- PhysioGlove ET Function: The PhysioGlove ET directly measures electrical activity of the heart from the body surface (an in vivo measurement). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) for recording and transmitting ECG data for cardiac monitoring and diagnosis. This is consistent with an in vivo diagnostic device, not an in vitro one.
Therefore, the PhysioGlove ET falls under the category of an in vivo diagnostic device, specifically an electrocardiograph.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The PhysioGlove ET is intended for self-testing by patients and by health care professionals at home and at medical settings. This 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), allows remote patients to display and transmit their ECG data to medical professionals via a mobile platform (communication device) to a remote server.

Device Description
The PhysioGlove ET system is a 12-lead electrocardiograph capable of recording and transmitting standard ECGs for the purpose of cardiac monitoring and diagnosis in a remote location. The PhysioGlove ET system consists of the following 3 primary components:
The PhysioGlove - a glove that incorporates a system of Ag/AgCl electrodes for use in recording 12-lead ECGs. The PhysioGlove of the ET system is a modification of the cleared PhysioGlove ES-1 system (originally cleared under K083677 and later incorporated under K103791). In the ET system, however, the PhysioGlove encompasses also electronic elements (mainly a data acquisition circuitry and software packed into the glove, based on the cleared PhysioGlove ES-1) and a recording and transmitting circuitry to permit the transfer of the ECG data to a mobile platform.
The Mobile Platform Software - designed to be downloaded to a compatible mobile platform such as a smart cell-phone, a tablet computer, or another communication device. The proprietary Mobile Platform Software is responsible to provide the user with the PhysioGlove ET system operational instructions, as well as to receive the ECG data from the PhysioGlove and to transfer them to the receiving center. No graphical presentation of the acquired ECG is enabled on the mobile platform.
The Mercury Telemedicine System (MTS) - proprietary software designed to be installed on a computer in the PhysioGlove ET receiving center (e.g., Nurse Station). The MTS is responsible to receive the recorded ECG data, save it in a database and present it to a medical professional who is capable of interpreting the results. The MTS is based on the PhysioGlove ES-1 software (originally cleared under K050674 and later incorporated under K103791).
The PhysioGlove ET system operates as follows:
The PhysioGlove records the patient's ECG and sends the data via Bluetooth to a mobile platform. Then, the recorded data is automatically transferred via the Internet using Wi-Fi to connect to a modem or via GPRS cellular communication. The data is sent to a receiving center (e.g., Nurse Station) to be reviewed by a medical professional who is capable of interpreting the ECG data.

6.12 Device Description
The PhysioGlove ET system is a 12-lead electrocardiograph capable of recording and transmitting standard ECGs for the purpose of cardiac monitoring and diagnosis in a remote location. The PhysioGlove ET system consists of the following 3 primary components:
The PhysioGlove - a glove that incorporates a system of Ag/AgCl electrodes for use in recording 12-lead ECGs. The PhysioGlove of the ET system is a modification of the cleared PhysioGlove ES-1 system (originally cleared under K083677 and later incorporated under K103791). In the ET system, however, the PhysioGlove encompasses also electronic elements (mainly a data acquisition circuitry and software packed into the glove, based on the cleared PhysioGlove ES-1) and a recording and transmitting circuitry to permit the transfer of the ECG data to a mobile platform.
The Mobile Platform Software - designed to be downloaded to a compatible mobile platform such as a smart cell-phone, a tablet computer, or another communication device. The proprietary Mobile Platform Software is responsible to provide the user with the PhysioGlove ET system operational instructions, as well as to receive the ECG data from the PhysioGlove and to transfer them to the receiving center. No graphical presentation of the acquired ECG is enabled on the mobile platform.
The Mercury Telemedicine System (MTS) - proprietary software designed to be installed on a computer in the PhysioGlove ET receiving center (e.g., Nurse Station). The MTS is responsible to receive the recorded ECG data, save it in a database and present it to a
6
medical professional who is capable of interpreting the results. The MTS is based on the PhysioGlove ES-1 software (originally cleared under K050674 and later incorporated under K103791).
The PhysioGlove ET system operates as follows:
The PhysioGlove records the patient's ECG and sends the data via Bluetooth to a mobile platform. Then, the recorded data is automatically transferred via the Internet using Wi-Fi to connect to a modem or via GPRS cellular communication. The data is sent to a receiving center (e.g., Nurse Station) to be reviewed by a medical professional who is capable of interpreting the ECG data.
6.13 Substantial Equivalence
The PhysioGlove ET System is substantially equivalent to the SelfCheck and PhysioGlove ES-1 with regard to intended use and indications for use. All three devices are reusable 12-Lead ECG examination systems, intended for recording of ECG. Both the PhysioGlove ET and the SelfCheck device are designed to be used by a patient or a health care professional who are concerned about their heart health and have problems that are suggestive of abnormal heart function.
Also, all three devices, the PhysioGlove ET, the SelfCheck Device, and the PhysioGlove ES-1 System, include hardware (HW) and software (SW) elements responsible for the collection and conditioning of the ECG signal so that it can be transmitted to another location for display. In the PhysioGlove ET, and similarly in the SelfCheck Device, the ECG recording may be conducted at home while the data display is performed at a remote location such as hospital, physician's office or a monitoring center.
The PhysioGlove ET System and the SelfCheck Device both use a Mobile Platform (e.g., a smart cell-phone, a compatible generic PDA or another communication device). The platform receives the ECG signal from the ECG acquisition element (the PhysioGlove or the PMP4 SelfCheck ECG) via Bluetooth and transmits it to the receiving center via cellular communication. Both devices contain methods for error testing and retransmission of the data.
The essential functionality of the SW elements included in the PhysioGlove ET system and its two predicates is substantially similar, i.e., receive the ECG data generated from the electrodes and transfer the digitized ECG data to the receiving center. Specifically, the PhysioGlove ET SW is a modification of the cleared PhysioGlove ES-1 SW (K103791) and thus, substantially equivalent the company's cleared device.

6.14 Performance Testing
Performance testing was conducted in order to demonstrate the performance, safety and usability of the PhysioGlove ET system. The testing plan included electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing (according to IEC 60601-1, Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1: General Requirements for Safety, and IEC 60601-1-2, Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1-2: General Requirements for Safety - Collateral standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility - Requirements and Tests ), compliance with performance standards (IEC 60601-1-11, General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard: Requirements for medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems used in the home healthcare environment, and IEC 60601-2-25,
Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of electrocardiographs). SW validation testing and a usability study.
Test results indicated that the PhysioGlove ET functions as expected and is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices for its intended use. Therefore, it is concluded that the PhysioGlove ET system is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices without raising any new questions of safety and/or effectiveness.
