No
The device description and intended use clearly state that the device is a cable and leadwire system for transmitting ECG signals. There is no mention of any processing or analysis of these signals using AI/ML. The performance studies focus on the physical and electrical performance of the cables, not on any algorithmic capabilities.
No
The device transmits signals for diagnostic and monitoring purposes, but it does not treat or cure any condition.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is "used to transmit signals from patient electrodes... to various electrocardiograph recorders/monitors... for both diagnostic and monitoring purposes."
No
The device description explicitly states it is a system of "reusable electrode cables" and "leadwire systems," which are physical hardware components used to transmit electrical signals. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.
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. They are used to examine specimens outside of the body.
- Device Function: The EWC: ECG Cable and Leadwire Systems are described as transmitting electrical signals from patient electrodes (placed on the body) to external recording/monitoring equipment. This is a direct connection to the patient's body to capture physiological signals, not an analysis of a sample taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states transmitting signals from patient electrodes to recorders/monitors for diagnostic and monitoring purposes. This aligns with the function of an ECG system, which measures electrical activity of the heart in vivo.
Therefore, the EWC: ECG Cable and Leadwire Systems are medical devices used for in vivo (within the living body) measurement and signal transmission, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
The EWC: ECG Cable and Leadwire Systems was tested to the requirements of 21 CFR 898 and shown to comply with the performance standard. Although the EWC: ECG Cable and Leadwire System was not designed to comply, in total, with the ANSI/AAMI EC53-1995, voluntary standard covering ECG Cables and Leadwires, a number of the test identified in the standard were performed, as necessary to evaluate the overall cable design and utility. Simulated use testing was also completed on both the predicate device cable and leadwire system and compared against the same tests conducted on the EWC: ECG Cable and Leadwire Systems and no significant difference in performance could be observed.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Simulated use testing was completed on both the predicate device cable and leadwire system and compared against the same tests conducted on the EWC: ECG Cable and Leadwire Systems and no significant difference in performance could be observed. Based on the results of the engineering/design testing, along with the simulated use performance testing (comparison testing), it is felt that the EWC: Cable and Leadwire Systems performs as expected and compares well, in terms of overall performance to the selected Tronomed device (predicate device).
