Intended Use
The CG-6108 ACT-3L Continuous ECG Monitor and Arrhythmia Detector is intended for use by patients who experience transient symptoms that may suggest cardiac arthythmia. The device continuously monitors patient ECG, automatically generates an alert triggered by an arrhythmia detection algorithm, or generates an alert manually triggered by the patient, and transmits the recorded data trans-telephonically to a monitoring center provides the ECG data to the medical practitioner for evaluation. The CG-6108 ACT-3L Continuous ECG Monitor and Arrhythmia Detector is intended to be prescribed for patients who have demonstrated a need for cardiac monitoring and are at low risk of developing life-threatening arrhythmias. Conditions where the system should not be used include patients likely to experience primary Ventricular Fibrillation or Ventricular Tachycardia and patients who have other co-morbid cardiovascular conditions where an arrhythmia could be potentially life threatening. This device has not been tested for and it is not intended for pediatric use.
Device Description
The CG-6108 ACT-3L Continuous ECG Monitor and Arrhythmia Detector is designed for self-testing by patients at home and for analysis by medical professionals at a remote Monitoring Center. The chest-worn sensor is used for the acquisition, recording, and transmission of the ECG signal. The device is equipped with 4 electrodes on a harness and it houses a 3.6V AA battery, a Bluetooth transceiver and a patient alert buzzer. The ECG signals are transmitted via Bluetooth to a handheld device with a proprietary interactive application, configured to process and transmit the ECG recordings. The handheld device is a mobile computing device with a display and a touch input such as a cell phone. It has sufficient memory and processing capability to run the proprietary application. When an arrhythmia event is detected, the handheld device transmits the recorded ECG information automatically via cellular link, to the Monitoring Center for professional analysis. When cellular service is unavailable the patient has an option to transmit via a landline telephone. The modification that led to this submission was the change from a mobile platform with a Windows-based OS to one with an Android-based OS.
More Information

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and describes a rule-based "arrhythmia detection algorithm" without mentioning AI/ML techniques.

No.
The device is a diagnostic tool that monitors and detects cardiac arrhythmias; it does not provide any treatment or therapy.

Yes

The device is intended to monitor patient ECG, automatically detect and alert for cardiac arrhythmia, and transmit this data for evaluation by a medical practitioner, indicating its role in diagnosing cardiac conditions.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a "chest-worn sensor" with electrodes, a battery, and a Bluetooth transceiver, indicating significant hardware components beyond just software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The CG-6108 ACT-3L Continuous ECG Monitor and Arrhythmia Detector works by acquiring and analyzing electrical signals from the patient's chest (ECG). It does not analyze any biological specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to monitor the patient's heart rhythm and detect arrhythmias, providing data to medical professionals for evaluation. This is a direct measurement of a physiological function, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the CG-6108 ACT-3L is a medical device, but it falls under the category of a physiological monitoring device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

IV. Device Description

The CG-6108 ACT-3L Continuous ECG Monitor and Arrhythmia Detector is designed for self-testing by patients at home and for analysis by medical professionals at a remote Monitoring Center.

The chest-worn sensor is used for the acquisition, recording, and transmission of the ECG signal. The device is equipped with 4 electrodes on a harness and it houses a 3.6V AA battery, a Bluetooth transceiver and a patient alert buzzer.

The ECG signals are transmitted via Bluetooth to a handheld device with a proprietary interactive application, configured to process and transmit the ECG recordings. The handheld device is a mobile computing device with a display and a touch input such as a cell phone. It has sufficient memory and processing capability to run the proprietary application.

When an arrhythmia event is detected, the handheld device transmits the recorded ECG information automatically via cellular link, to the Monitoring Center for professional analysis. When cellular service is unavailable the patient has an option to transmit via a landline telephone.

The modification that led to this submission was the change from a mobile platform with a Windows-based OS to one with an Android-based OS.

V. Indications for Use

The CG-6108 ACT-3L Continuous ECG Monitor and Arrhythmia Detector is intended for use by patients who experience transient symptoms that may suggest cardiac arrhythmia. The device continuously monitors patient ECG, automatically generates an alert triggered by an arrhythmia detection algorithm, or generates an alert manually triggered by the patient, and transmits the recorded data transtelephonically to a monitoring center. The monitoring center provides the ECG data to the medical practitioner for evaluation.

The CG-6108 ACT-3L Continuous ECG Monitor and Arrhythmia Detector is intended to be prescribed for patients who have demonstrated a need for cardiac monitoring and are at low risk of developing life-threatening arrhythmias. Conditions where the system should not be used include patients likely to experience primary Ventricular Fibrillation or Ventricular Tachycardia and patients who have other co-morbid cardiovascular conditions where an arrhythmia could be potentially life threatening.

The device has not been tested for and it is not intended for pediatric use.

VI. Summary of the Technological Characteristics / Principles of Operation

The technological characteristics and principles of operation of the ACT device with SW Ver. 6.1.17 are the same as the predicate device. The chest-worn ECG sensor transmits signals via Bluetooth to the handheld device equipped with the Medical Application, which incorporates an algorithm for detection of cardiac events: Atrial Fibrillation, Tachycardia, Bradycardia and Pause.

A detected artifact triggers transmission of the signal to the Monitoring Center for analysis.

VII. Performance data - Non Clinical for the CG-6108 ACT-3L with SW Ver. 6.1.17

In order to support the new SW Version, the following testing has been performed and passed:

  • . Wireless co-existence testing of the ACT-3L system, LifeWatch Technologies, VATR-0163
  • . SW Validation Test Report, LifeWatch Technologies, STR-0112-61170
  • Testing of the ACT-3L algorithm, LifeWatch Technologies, VATR-0164 o

Performance data - Standards:

This submission was written according to and in conformance with FDA Guidance "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Arrhythmia Detector and Alarm, October 28, 2003." This submission was also prepared per "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices, May 11 2005".
