More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the device's function as a signal transmission cable and mentions no AI/ML capabilities or related terms.

No.
The device is used to transmit signals for diagnostic and monitoring purposes, not for therapeutic intervention.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is used for "both diagnostic and monitoring purposes." It transmits signals to "various electrocardiograph recorders/monitors" which are used for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "reusable electrode cable systems" and mentions "electrical and mechanical testing," indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "transmit signals from patient surface electrodes to various electrocardiograph recorders/monitors for both diagnostic and monitoring purposes." This describes a device that connects to the patient's body to pick up electrical signals, not a device that analyzes samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by stating it's a "reusable electrode cable systems used to transmit signals from patient electrodes."
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is to facilitate the collection of electrical signals from the body surface.

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

A comparison of the predicate device's production and both electrical and mechanical testing to AAMI ECGC-5/83 was made to the equivalent production, electrical and mechanical testing of the Multi-Link Cable and Lead Wire Systems. Testing also demonstrated that the Multi-Link Cable and Lead Wire Systems meet 21CFR Part 898: Performance Standard for Electrode Lead Wire and Patient Cables. Marquette Medical Systems has demonstrated that the use of the Multi-Link Cable and Lead Wire Systems is as safe and as effective, and performs substantially equivalent to its predicate device.

Dear Mr. Laughran:

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 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, Drug, 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 Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set - forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General requlation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in requlatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Reqister. 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.
