Intended Use
The PC-ECG system is a fully featured, non-invasive, real-time, 12-lead ECG system capable of recording, display and storage of data using a PC (personal computer). It is used in doctor's offices by cardiologists to record the clectrical heart signals (electrocardingram) of patients in order to detect abnormal heart conditions. Patients are hooked up to the PC-FCG system via cables connected to the extremities and the chest using rubberized disks which contain in a small central depression a paste. The device is for prescription use only.
Device Description

Recording and display of 1, 3, 6, 12 channels Monitoring of up to 12 channels with acoustic, analogue and digital pulse signal Single user system or network ready Storage of unlimited number of 10 sec. ECGs High quality print of 6, 12 leads with variable speed Patient database
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard ECG system for recording, displaying, and storing data, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities for analysis or interpretation.

No
The device is described as an ECG system used to record and display electrical heart signals to detect abnormal heart conditions, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is used "in order to detect abnormal heart conditions," which clearly indicates a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly mentions physical components like "cables connected to the extremities and the chest using rubberized disks" which are hardware components necessary for acquiring the ECG signal.

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.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the PC-ECG system is a non-invasive device that records the electrical heart signals of patients directly from the body using electrodes. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to record electrical heart signals to detect abnormal heart conditions, which is a direct measurement of physiological activity, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device that performs a physiological measurement, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Technological characteristics:

The two systems compared are very similar in their design. Both units measure the low-voltage signals generated by the heart, amplify the signals, perform an analog/digital conversion and transmit the data to a personal computer (PC) for display and evaluation. The main differences are in the features provided by the software.
