The device description mentions "analyzes electrographic signal, classifies all detected heart beats and recognizes rhythm abnormalities," which could potentially involve AI/ML algorithms, but the summary does not explicitly state the use of AI, DNN, or ML. The performance testing mentions "Arrhythmia detection algorithms," but the specific technology used is not detailed.
No
The device is described as an ambulatory ECG monitor that analyzes and classifies heartbeats and recognizes rhythm abnormalities, indicating a diagnostic rather than therapeutic function.
Yes
The device is described as an "ambulatory ECG monitor which analyzes electrographic signal, classifies all detected heart beats and recognizes rhythm abnormalities." Its intended use includes monitoring patients for various non-life threatening arrhythmias, evaluating bradyarrhythmias, assessing symptoms that may be due to cardiac arrhythmias, and monitoring the effect of drugs on heart rate, all of which are diagnostic functions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "ambulatory ECG monitor which analyzes electrographic signal". This indicates the device includes hardware components for acquiring the ECG signal, not just software for analysis.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The PocketECG IV is an ambulatory ECG monitor. It analyzes electrical signals from the heart directly from the patient's body via electrodes. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use describes monitoring cardiac rhythms and symptoms in patients. This is a direct physiological measurement, not an analysis of a biological sample.
- Device Description: The description confirms it's an ambulatory ECG monitor that analyzes electrographic signals.
Therefore, the PocketECG IV falls under the category of a medical device that performs physiological monitoring, but it does not meet the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The PocketECG IV is intended to be used by:
-
Patients who have a demonstrated need for cardiac monitoring. These may include but are not limited to patients who require monitoring for:
a) non-life threatening arrhythmias such as supraventricular tachycardias (e.g. atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, PACs, PSVT) and ventricular ectopy;
b) evaluation of bradyarhythmias and intermittent bundle branch block, including after cardiovascular surgery and myocardial infarction; and
c) arrhythmias associated with co-morbid conditions such as hyperthyroidism or chronic lung disease. -
Patients with symptoms that may be due to cardiac arrhythmias. These may include but are not limited to symptoms such as:
a) dizziness or lightheadedness;
b) syncope of unknown etiology in which arrhythmias are suspected or need to be excluded; and
c) dyspnea (shortness of breath). -
Patients with palpitations without known arrhythmias to obtain a correlation of rhythm with symptoms.
-
Patients who require monitoring of the effect of drugs to control ventricular rate in various atrial arrhythmias (e.g. atrial fibrillation).
-
Patients recovering from cardiac surgery who are indicated for outpatient arrhythmia monitoring.
-
Patients with diagnosed sleep disordered breathing including sleep apnea (obstructive, central) to evaluate possible nocturnal arrhythmias.
-
Patients requiring arrhythmia evaluation of etiology of stroke or transient cerebral ischemia, possibly secondary to arrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
Data from the device may be used by another device to analyze. measure or report OT interval. The device is not intended to sound any alarms for QT interval changes.
Contraindications:
The PocketECG IV is not intended to be used by:
-
Patients who have been diagnosed with life-threatening arrhythmias and require hospitalization.
-
Patients who require inpatient monitoring using a life-saving device.
