No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like training or test sets for algorithms. The description focuses on signal reception and evaluation, which can be done with traditional signal processing techniques.

No
The device is described as a monitoring station for receiving and evaluating ECG signals, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is intended to "provide the reception and evaluation of the ECG signal," which falls under the definition of diagnostics as it involves analyzing data to understand a medical condition.

No

The description explicitly states the device is a "transtelephonic cardiac monitoring station" which implies hardware components for receiving and evaluating ECG signals transmitted via telephone lines. It is not described as purely software.

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.
  • Cardiostation's function: The description clearly states that Cardiostation receives and evaluates an ECG signal. An ECG signal is an electrical recording of the heart's activity, obtained directly from the body surface, not from a sample taken from the body.

Therefore, since the device operates on a signal obtained directly from the patient rather than a biological sample, it falls outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.

§ 870.2920 Telephone electrocardiograph transmitter and receiver.

(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)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Re: K980624 Cardiostation Regulatory Class: II (two) Product Code: 74 DXH February 13, 1998 Dated: Received: February 18, 1998

Dear Mr. Lurio:

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 You provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). 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 regulations 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 Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Requlation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (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 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.

1

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 legally 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 diagnostic 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 regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
