No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and does not contain any language typically associated with AI/ML algorithms (e.g., deep learning, neural networks, machine learning, artificial intelligence) in the description of the analysis process. The analysis is described as being based on "Epicardia Anywhere classifications," which suggests a rule-based or pre-defined classification system rather than a learned model.
No.
The device is described as a "screening tool" and "records and analyzes the patient's ECG" for diagnostic purposes, it does not provide any therapy or treatment.
Yes
The device clearly states its function as providing "various summary reports that detail any clinically-significant events the patient may have had," which are then "reviewed, revised if necessary by a trained operator and then confirmed by a qualified clinician." This process of identifying and confirming clinical events based on ECG analysis is a diagnostic function.
Unknown
The summary describes the function of the system (recording and analyzing ECG, generating reports) but does not explicitly state whether the "Epicardia Anywhere System" is solely software or includes hardware components for ECG acquisition. The predicate device (K090834 Epicardia 5000) would need to be reviewed to understand the typical components of such a system, but the provided text alone is insufficient to confirm it's software-only.
Based on the provided information, the Epicardia Anywhere 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. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Epicardia Anywhere Function: The Epicardia Anywhere system records and analyzes ECG signals, which are electrical signals from the heart. This is a physiological measurement taken directly from the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use describes it as a "screening tool for patients who require ambulatory ECG monitoring." This aligns with the function of a medical device that monitors physiological activity, not an IVD.
Therefore, the Epicardia Anywhere falls under the category of a medical device that performs physiological monitoring and analysis, rather than an in vitro diagnostic device.

Image /page/6/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Medicomp. The logo consists of a blue and red intertwined heart shape on the left, followed by the word "MEDICOMP" in blue, bold letters. Underneath the word, there is a red line, and below that, the text "Advancing diagnostic cardiology since 1981" is written in a smaller, lighter blue font.
B. Technological Characteristics
The ECG analysis, Diogenes, remains the same. The version of Diogenes in the subject device is the same version of Diogenes in the predicate, Epicardia 5000.
The user interface is the same, the predicate and the subject device applications run on a personal computer. Both the predicate and the subject device are a Microsoft Windows based interface. The predicate device, Epicardia 5000 presents patient data from a workflow perspective, as does the subject device, Epicardia Anywhere.
Both the predicate and the subject device use the same interface options: TCP/IP, Trans-telephonic, Cellular, Direct, USB and file based interfaces.
The operating system in both the predicate and subject device remains the same, using a Microsoft Windows based application. The main technological difference between the two devices is the environment in which the server is located. The predicate device, Epicardia 5000, uses a desktop-based application. The subject device, Epicardia Anywhere, uses the Azure-cloud based server with a core processor.
The EC38 Type is not applicable for Epicardia Anywhere because it is solely a software system. The unique patient ID is changed from limited to unlimited. The server side software is changed from 16 bit to 64 bit. The predicate and subject devices both present consecutive ECG of 24 hours to 30 days in workflow.
The Technological Characteristics are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
C. Comparison between Subject and Predicate Device
This device is similar in design and construction, and has the same indications for use and performance characteristics to the predicate device. Epicardia Anywhere will be cloud hosted and accessible from across the Internet using popular web browsers. It will retain all the major functionality of Epicardia 5000. No new issues of safety or effectiveness are introduced by using this device.
