Intended Use
The intended use of the device is to acquire and record the 3 different types of heart bio-signals (ECG, PCG, and MCG) and combine the results into a contiguous presentation as an aid to diagnostic interpretation by a Physician in a clinical setting. The indication for use is as ... a. a Standard 12 Lead Diagnostic ECG b. an aid to identify events in the cardiac cycle c. an aid to detect S1 & S2 hearts sounds and murmurs. Any diagnostic interpretation is only significant when used in conjunction with physician over-read as well as consideration of all other relevant patient data. The Cardio-TriTest is on a prescription basis by a Certified Medical Practitioner.
Device Description
The Cardio-TriTest v6.5 (CTT) is three devices in one; combining a 12-Lead Electrocardiograph (ECG), a 4 Lead Phonocardiograph and a 4 lead Mechanocardiograph. The device will acquire all three types of bio-signals during the same non-invasive test procedure. The three types of signals are synchronized and outputted on the same timeline making it easier for general practitioners to visually determine a patient's current heart health. The ECG component is a Standard 12-Lead ECG, conformant with EN IEC 60601-2-25 standards. The CTT v6.5 device uses approved Standard 12-Lead FDA/CE cables. The CTT includes 4 Kombi-Sensors that include combine PCG/MCG functionality. The PCG component consists of 4 electronic stethoscopes into one Phono recording device. PCG sensors are equipped with diaphragms and non-chill rings. The MCG component consists of 4 MCG recording devices integrated into the Kombi-Sensor housing (PCG and MCG in same Sensor Housing). The PCG and MCG signal verification can be found in Annex E - Signal Testing. The PCG and MCG sensors are housed in common sensor housing, Kombi-Sensor, this allows the Kombi-sensor of being positioned/located in one of the 4 standard auscultation points on the thoracic wall. The combined PCG/MCG sensors record their signals when positioned on the four primary auscultation points on the thoracic wall.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the acquisition and synchronized presentation of bio-signals, with no mention of AI/ML for analysis or interpretation. The device is described as an "aid to diagnostic interpretation" by a physician, implying the physician performs the interpretation.

No
The device is intended to acquire and record bio-signals (ECG, PCG, MCG) as an aid to diagnostic interpretation, not for therapeutic intervention.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "an aid to diagnostic interpretation by a Physician in a clinical setting." It further specifies its indication for use as "a Standard 12 Lead Diagnostic ECG."

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as "Standard 12-Lead FDA/CE cables", "4 Kombi-Sensors that include combine PCG/MCG functionality", "PCG sensors are equipped with diaphragms and non-chill rings", and "MCG recording devices integrated into the Kombi-Sensor housing". It also references standards related to hardware like IEC 60601-1 and EN IEC 60601-2-25.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The Cardio-TriTest device acquires and records bio-signals (ECG, PCG, and MCG) directly from the patient's body (thoracic wall) using non-invasive sensors. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to acquire and present bio-signals as an aid to diagnostic interpretation by a physician. This is a direct measurement of physiological activity, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, the Cardio-TriTest is a medical device used for physiological monitoring and recording, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Safety:

Being a 3-in-1 device, the safety of the device meets the Standard as per IEC 60601-1, in accordance with the standards set in EN IEC 60601-2-25 for Diagnostic ECG and applies equally to the two other functional aspects of the device.

In accordance with FDA guidelines, the ECG component is conformant with EN IEC 60601-2-25 (2015) Diagnostic Electrocardiographs (ECG).

The MCG functionality, acquires and records the mechanical vibrational waveforms produced by the hearts constructions and transmitted to the chest wall.

7

The PCG functionality, acquires and records the acoustic waveforms produced by the heart.

The Cardio-TriTest v6.5 (CTT) device and the predicate device listed above are indicated for use in the clinical setting, by a physician or by trained personnel who are acting on the orders of a licensed physician. They are not intended as a sole means of diagnosis. The interpretations of heart signals offered by CTT are only significant when used in conjunction with physician over-read as well as consideration of all other relevant patient data.
