Not Found

No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found".

No.
The intended use is for electrocardiography, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The device is an electrocardiograph electrode used for obtaining electrocardiograms, which are diagnostic tests to evaluate heart function. Thus, it plays a role in diagnosis.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary is incomplete and lacks a device description, making it impossible to determine if the device is software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Electrode, Electrocardiograph". This indicates a device used to measure electrical activity of the heart, which is a physiological measurement taken in vivo (within the living body).
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis based on laboratory tests

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. An electrocardiograph electrode is used to acquire electrical signals directly from the patient's skin.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device is an in vivo diagnostic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 870.2360 Electrocardiograph electrode.

(a)
Identification. An electrocardiograph electrode is the electrical conductor which is applied to the surface of the body to transmit the electrical signal at the body surface to a processor that produces an electrocardiogram or vectorcardiogram.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9. The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Electrocardiograph Electrodes.” See § 870.1(e) for availability information of guidance documents.

Re: K973727 Electrode, Electrocardiograph Trade Name: Requlatory Class: II (two) Product Code: 74 DRX Dated: September 2, 1997 Received: September 30, 1997

Dear Mr. Arndt:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Druq, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major requlations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP requlation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a leqally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diaqnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4648. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the requlation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
