Intended Use
The H400 is a battery powered 3-lead Transtelephonic ECG Transmitter which is intended to be used by the patient to transmit via the telephone a patient's electrocardiogram (ECG) to a receiving center such a Aerotel's Heartline 3000 (FDA # K930314) or equivalent. The device is not intended to be used for long-term monitoring or when the patient is not capable of actuating the device or the telephone.
Device Description
The H400 is a battery powered 3-lead Transtelephonic ECG Transmitter which is intended to be used by the patient to transmit via the telephone a patient's electrocardiogram (ECG) to a receiving center such a Aerotel's Heartline 3000 (FDA # K930314) or equivalent. The Heart 400 transmits each of leads I, II, III as selected by the patient. Patient connection is done by means of electrodes and a patient cable. The electrodes are attached by the physician. To transmit the electrocardiogram, the telephone handset transmitter is placed over the device and the On/Off button of the H400 is released. At the receiving center, the ECG will be edited and recorded.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the device's function as a transmitter of ECG data via telephone, with no mention of AI or ML processing of the data.

No
The device is a transmitter for ECG signals, intended for diagnostic purposes (transmitting patient ECGs to a receiving center for recording and editing), not for treating any condition.

No

The H400 is an ECG transmitter that sends a patient's ECG to a receiving center for editing and recording. It does not perform analysis or diagnosis itself, rather it facilitates the transmission of data to a diagnostic center.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "battery powered 3-lead Transtelephonic ECG Transmitter" and mentions physical components like electrodes, a patient cable, and an On/Off button, indicating it is a hardware device.

No, 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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • H400 function: The H400 is a device that transmits an electrocardiogram (ECG), which is a recording of the electrical activity of the heart. This is a measurement taken directly from the patient's body, not from a specimen taken from the body.

The H400 is a medical device used for diagnostic purposes, but it falls under the category of devices that measure physiological signals directly from the patient, not IVDs.

Summary of Performance Studies

Non-clinical tests provided include bench tests of common mode rejection frequency response, sound level of the audio signal, temperature stress, ratio, electromagnetic immunity, and shock and vibration. There is no safety question, since the Heart 400 is battery operated.
Electrocardiograms were taken from three volunteers using the Heart 400 and the Heart 1001, and transmitting the electrocardiograms over telephone lines. The quality of the electrocardiograms in every case is equivalent.

(a)
Identification. A telephone electrocardiograph transmitter and receiver is a device used to condition an electrocardiograph signal so that it can be transmitted via a telephone line to another location. This device also includes a receiver that reconditions the received signal into its original format so that it can be displayed. The device includes devices used to transmit and receive pacemaker signals.(b)

2. Device

Proprietary name: Heart 400 Common Name: Electrocardiograph Telephonic Transmitter Classification Name: Transmitters and Receivers, electrocardiograph, telephone

The Heart 400 is a battery-powered ECG transmitter that is capable of transmitting a 3-channel ECG signal by means of a telephone to a central receiving station.

    1. Predicate Device
      Aerotel Heart 1001 ECG Transmitter, K931020

4. Description

The H400 is a battery powered 3-lead Transtelephonic ECG Transmitter which is intended to be used by the patient to transmit via the telephone a patient's electrocardiogram (ECG) to a receiving center such a Aerotel's Heartline 3000 (FDA # K930314) or equivalent.

1

The Heart 400 transmits each of leads I, II, III as selected by the patient. Patient connection is done by means of electrodes and a patient cable. The electrodes are attached by the physician.

To transmit the electrocardiogram, the telephone handset transmitter is placed over the device and the On/Off button of the H400 is released. At the receiving center, the ECG will be edited and recorded.

5. Intended Use

The H400 is a battery powered 3-lead Transtelephonic ECG Transmitter which is intended to be used by the patient to transmit via the telephone a patient's electrocardiogram (ECG) to a receiving center such a Aerotel's Heartline 3000 (FDA # K930314) or equivalent. The device is not intended to be used for long-term monitoring or when the patient is not capable of actuating the device or the telephone.

6. Comparison

The Heart 400 has basically the same physical characteristics as the predicate device, except that the Heart 400 does not have a memory. Thus, when the Heart 400 is used, the electrocardiogram is transmitted on the telephone at the same time it is taken, while with the Heart 1001 there can be a time lag. Apart from that, both use FM transmission, similar circuitry, and similar patient electrodes. This difference is not critical to the use of the device, because the Heart 400 is used when the electrocardiogram is to be transmitted immediately.

b. Performance Data

(1) Non-clinical tests

Non-clinical tests provided include bench tests of common mode rejection frequency response, sound level of the audio signal, temperature stress, ratio, electromagnetic immunity, and shock and vibration. There is no safety question, since the Heart 400 is battery operated.

(2) Clinical Tests

Electrocardiograms were taken from three volunteers using the Heart 400 and the Heart 1001, and transmitting the electrocardiograms over telephone lines. The quality of the electrocardiograms in every case is equivalent.

(3) Conclusion

2

The conclusion drawn from these tests is that the Heart 400 is equivalent in safety and efficacy to its predicate device
