Intended Use
CardioSoft / CardioSys are intended to be used in resting ECG, emergency- and stress-test departments to record, archive and disseminate ECG information. They are intended to be used by trained operators under the direct supervision of a physician when ECG records are required in the judgement of a physician. - The arrhythmia detection portion of the CardioSoft / CardioSys stress test system is provided to the user for the convenience of automatic documentation. The CardioSoft / CardioSys offers no diagnostic opinion to the user. Instead, it provides a high fidelity instrument recording ECG waveforms during exercise, for the purpose of providing the operator with a tool to expedite the documentation of a test for which he/she renders his/her own medical opinion. - They are not designed for intracardial use. - They are not designed to provide alarms for arrhythmia and ST-segment measurement. - The devices are not intended for home use. The intended use of CardioSoft / CardioSys does not differ from the intended use of the predicate device.
Device Description
CardioSoft / CardioSys is an ECG data acquisition and recording system designed and manufactured by HELLIGE GmbH. CardioSoft / CardioSys allows to - record resting ECGs, - run stress test examinations, - measure and interprete the ECGs.

Not Found

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description of the device and its functions do not indicate the use of AI/ML. The arrhythmia detection is described as "automatic documentation" and not a diagnostic opinion.

No
The device is used to record, archive, and disseminate ECG information for diagnostic purposes, not to treat a medical condition.

No

The device description states that the system can "measure and interpret the ECGs," and the intended use section explicitly says, "The CardioSoft / CardioSys offers no diagnostic opinion to the user." While it provides data for interpretation, it does not provide a diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states "CardioSoft / CardioSys is an ECG data acquisition and recording system designed and manufactured by HELLIGE GmbH." and mentions "software and hardware testing". This indicates the device includes hardware components for ECG data acquisition, making it a hardware-software system, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body). The CardioSoft / CardioSys system records and analyzes electrical signals from the heart on the body (ECG).
  • The intended use clearly describes recording and analyzing ECG waveforms. This is a physiological measurement, not an analysis of a biological sample.
  • There is no mention of analyzing biological samples. The description focuses on ECG data acquisition, recording, measurement, and interpretation.

Therefore, the CardioSoft / CardioSys is a medical device, specifically an ECG system, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

CardioSoft / CardioSys comply with the voluntary standard ANSI/AAMI EC11-1991, ANSI/AAMI ECAR-1987, IEC 601-1, IEC 601-1-1, IEC 601-1-2 and IEC 601-2-25. CardioSoft and CardioSys passed the EC type-examination and thus bear the CE mark. The following quality assurance measures were applied to the development of CardioSoft / CardioSys: Requirements spefication and design reviews, code inspections, software and hardware testing, safety testing, environmental testing, final validation testing by an independent test group, field tests. The results of these measures demonstrated that CardioSoft / CardioSys are as safe, as effective, and perform as well as the predicate device CARDIOGNOST EK 512
