More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical electrode system and does not mention any software or algorithms that would utilize AI or ML.

No.
The device is used for recording ECG, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic one. It facilitates the collection of data for diagnosis rather than providing treatment.

No
The device is an ECG electrode system used for recording rest ECGs. While ECGs are used in diagnosis, the device itself is a data acquisition tool, not a diagnostic device that interprets or analyzes the data to make a diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a system of physical electrodes cast in a silicone apron with gold-plated electrodes and copper conductors, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the ECG Electrodes Apron 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 ECG Electrodes Apron is a system of electrodes used to record electrical activity of the heart directly from the body surface. It does not involve testing samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for use in rest ECG recording," which is a procedure performed on a living patient.

Therefore, the ECG Electrodes Apron falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological measurement, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
