Intended Use
THE CARDIOBEEPER CB250 IS INDICATED FOR USE BY THE PATIENT IN TRANSMITTING ECG INFORMATION FROM A REMOTE LOCATION To A RECEIVING CENTER.
Device Description
The CardioBeeper ® CB250 is a single-lead, compact, hand-held, battery powered, personal transtelephonic ECG transmitter enclosed in a billfold wallet. The device has been designed to enable the user to transmit a rhythm strip to a central receiving station using acoustic coupling. The ECG information is transmitted as a frequency modulation of the basic 1700Hz tone. The device is sealed (not hermetically) for life. There are no user-servicable parts inside. The batteries are not replaceable and the unit should be discarded after depletion.

No
The description focuses on basic signal transmission and acoustic coupling, with no mention of AI/ML terms or capabilities.

No.
The device transmits ECG information and does not directly treat or remedy a medical condition.

Yes

The device transmits ECG information, which is a diagnostic modality used to assess the heart's electrical activity and diagnose cardiac conditions. While the device itself doesn't interpret the data, it is a tool for acquiring diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "hand-held, battery powered, personal transtelephonic ECG transmitter enclosed in a billfold wallet," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the CardioBeeper CB250 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.
  • CardioBeeper CB250 Function: The description clearly states that the CardioBeeper CB250 is a device used to transmit ECG information. ECG (Electrocardiogram) is a measurement of the electrical activity of the heart, which is a physiological signal, not a sample taken from the body for analysis.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to transmit ECG information from a remote location to a receiving center, which is a form of remote monitoring of a physiological parameter.

Therefore, the CardioBeeper CB250 falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological monitoring and transmission, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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).

Substantially Equivalent Devices

The CardioBeeper ® CB250 is substantially equivalent to other telephone electrocardiograph transmitters that have received 510(k) clearance for use by the patient in transmitting ECG information from a remote location to a receiving center.

Specifically, the CardioBeeper ® CB250 is used in a similar manner to the CardioBeeper ® CBII (K883843), and it shares some, but not all, of the functions of the CardioBeeper ® CB II (K883843) and the CardioBeeper ® CB12-L (K965101).

The CardioBeeper ® CB250 is substantially equivalent to a CardioBeeper® CBII (K883843) in Mode 1 (modified single channel). Both units have fixed electrodes and both transmit a realtime rhythm strip. The CardioBeeper® CB250 uses a reduced set of the electronic circuitry of the CardioBeeper® CB II (K883843) and the CardioBeeper® CB12-L (K965101). The main differences are:
