Intended Use
This device is intended for use as a patient monitor for any patient undergoing ECG ST Segment Analysis and/or ECG Stress Analysis during resting or exercise. Exercise can be performed during treadmill or bicycle ergometer use. This device is capable of performing automatic computerized ECG Interpretation during resting condition. This device does not support automatic ECG Interpretation for neonatal use. The intended use locations are either in a physician office, hospital exercise rehabilitation facilities, or similar use areas. It is intended to be used by or on the order of a physician or similarly qualified health care professional. This device is intended for use in the hospital environment, physician's office, or similar settings. This device is not intended for home use.

No
The summary mentions "automatic computerized ECG Interpretation" but does not use terms like AI, ML, deep learning, or neural networks, nor does it describe characteristics typically associated with AI/ML development (training/test sets, performance metrics like AUC).

No
The device is described as a "patient monitor" used for ECG analysis during resting or exercise, which focuses on diagnostics and monitoring, not treatment.

Yes
The device performs ECG ST Segment Analysis and/or ECG Stress Analysis, and automatic computerized ECG Interpretation, all of which are diagnostic functions used to evaluate a patient's heart condition.

Unknown

The provided text describes the intended use and user of a device for ECG analysis but lacks a device description. Without a description of the device's components, it's impossible to determine if it is software-only or includes hardware.

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 intended use describes the device as a "patient monitor for any patient undergoing ECG ST Segment Analysis and/or ECG Stress Analysis during resting or exercise." This involves monitoring electrical activity of the heart directly from the patient's body, not analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • Lack of mention of samples: The description does not mention the analysis of any biological samples.

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