Intended Use
The QT ECG System is intended to acquire, record and process an electrocardiographic signal so that it can be transmitted digitally via Bluetooth technology to a cell-phone or mobile device, then to a remote location. The QT ECG System is indicated for use on adult patients and pediatric patients age 18 - 22 years. It is designed to be used by a patient or other layperson in the home, or by healthcare workers in non-acute care clinical facilities (such as nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities), to record and transmit a 12-lead ECG and rhythm strip in near real-time to enable review at a physician's office, hospital or other medical receiving centers.
Device Description
The QT ECG system is a hand-held, cordless 12-lead electrocardiograph (ECG) system with Bluetooth connectivity. The OT ECG system consists of 5 major components when using: - The QT ECG Recorder - Compact device that records 12-lead, resting electrocardiograms, then transmits the recorded data to a mobile device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) paired via Bluetooth. A Bluetooth-enabled mobile device (not included) is needed to operate the QT ECG Recorder, and to send the recoded rhythm strip to a cardiologist or licensed physician for review. - . The QT ECG Electrode Strip-Disposable, patented electrodes that are prepositioned on a self-adhesive strip - . The QT ECG App — Software that lets the user uses their mobile device to operate the QT ECG recorder. Once an ECG recording is done, the data is auto uploaded to the cloud for analysis. - . Analysis - The analysis module provides ECG measurement from the collected data. - . Web Service - The web service provides an interface for communication. The recorded ECG data is saved temporarily on the mobile device until it is transferred via the Internet to the cloud server. The OT ECG System does not have monitoring capabilities and does not have diagnostic alarm function. The QT ECG System is intended for use on adults and pediatric patients to acquire ECG signals to be transmitted wirelessly via Bluetooth to a mobile device, and then over the Internet to a web service. The QT ECG System is designed to be used by a patient to record and transmit ECG data to a physician's office, hospital or other medical receiving center for review.
More Information

No
The document describes basic ECG signal processing and measurement, but there is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for analysis or interpretation. The analysis module provides "ECG measurement," which is a standard function of ECG devices and does not inherently imply AI/ML.

No
The device is intended for acquiring, recording, and processing an electrocardiographic signal for transmission and review by a physician; it does not explicitly state an intention to treat or mitigate a disease or condition.

Yes

The device is explicitly designed to acquire, record, and process an electrocardiographic signal to collect data for review by a physician, which is a step in the diagnostic process. While the device itself doesn't offer a diagnostic interpretation, it enables the collection of diagnostic data.

No

The device description explicitly lists and describes hardware components: "The QT ECG Recorder - Compact device that records 12-lead, resting electrocardiograms" and "The QT ECG Electrode Strip-Disposable, patented electrodes". While software is a component, it is not the sole component.

Based on the provided information, this device 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 examine these samples outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The QT ECG System acquires, records, and processes an electrocardiographic signal. This is a measurement of the electrical activity of the heart, which is a physiological process happening within the body.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples taken from the patient. It directly measures electrical signals from the body surface.

Therefore, the QT ECG System falls under the category of a medical device that measures physiological signals, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

5.12 Similarity and Difference

The QT ECG has been compared with "Smartheart". The subject device has same intended use, technology/mechanism of action, safety and performance as the predicate device. Although there are some specifications that are different between two devices, the software validation, performance test and clinical/usability studies have been completed to demonstrate that the differences between these parameters would not impact the safety and effectiveness of the subject device. The subject device has undergone safety and performance tests, and the results complied with the test requests. Therefore, the difference between the subject device and the predicate device did not raise any problem of substantial equivalence. The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in intended use, safety and performance claims.

5.13 Conclusion

After analyzing non-clinical laboratory studies, clinical trials and safety testing data, it can be concluded that the QT ECG is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
