The description focuses on data acquisition, transmission, and basic signal processing, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation.
No
The Master Caution Device (MCD) is described as an ECG device that collects and transmits physiological signals (ECG, posture, motion, respiration, skin temperature) for remote review by medical professionals. Its purpose is to condition and transmit signals for diagnostic review, not to directly treat or provide therapy to a patient.
Yes
Explanation: The device is described as transmitting ECG, posture, motion, respiration, and skin temperature signals to a remote location for review by a physician. This process of acquiring and providing medical signals for professional review constitutes a diagnostic function.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "personal, hand-held battery powered, ECG device" and mentions hardware components like an embedded processor, data acquisition, data storage, accelerometers, and Bluetooth capabilities.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- This device directly acquires physiological signals (ECG, posture, motion, respiration, skin temperature) from the patient's body. It conditions and transmits these signals for remote review.
- The intended use and device description clearly focus on acquiring and transmitting in vivo (within the living body) data, not in vitro (in glass/outside the living body) data from specimens.
Therefore, the Master Caution Device (MCD) is a medical device, but it falls under the category of devices that acquire physiological signals directly from the patient, not IVDs.

Device Description
The HealthWatch Master Caution Device (MCD) is a personal, hand-held battery powered, ECG device that can be connected to any approved and market cleared, ten standard ECG electrodes, configuring a 12-lead ECG device.
The MCD is a miniature ECG device with an embedded processor containing data acquisition, data storage, data processing accelerometers, respiration, skin temperature (IR) and BT (Bluetooth) capabilities. The HealthWatch Master Caution Device (MCD) acquires ECG data via the connected electrodes. The HealthWatch Master Caution Device (MCD) transmits the data in near real time to a suitable Bluetooth communication device for forwarding to a remote location for professional review.
A communication device is defined as any device that is capable of receiving the ECG data via Bluetooth and forwarding it via WIFI or cellular network (3G/4G). Communication devices can be cellphones, computers or other dedicated communication modems.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Bench testing demonstrated that the HealthWatch Master Caution Device (MCD™) is as safe and effective as the cleared predicate device.
The HealthWatch Master Caution Device (MCD™) implies the exact same intended use, clinical indication and technology as its predicate device. The substantial equivalence of the HealthWatch Master Caution Device (MCD™) is shown by the predicate devices using the same parameters. Due to the comprehensive clinical studies already performed by the predicate and other devices, published in scientific literature, and since the performance testing shows its substantial equivalence, HealthWatch believes that animal and clinical studies are not necessary to determine the substantial equivalence of the HealthWatch Master Caution Device (MCDTM)

Dear Yoram Levy,
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
