No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and provides no other indication of AI/ML use.

No
The device is described as a transmitter for monitoring and detection, not for treating or providing therapy.

Yes
The device is intended for "detection of rhythm disorders and ST-changes," which are specific medical conditions, indicating a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states "Card Guard Model CG-6550 Personal 3-Lead ECG Transmitter," which implies a hardware component (a transmitter) is part of the device.

No, 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.
  • Device Function: The CG-6550 is an Electrocardiogram (ECG) Transmitter. It measures electrical activity of the heart from the body's surface. This is an in vivo measurement (taken from within the living body), not an in vitro measurement (taken from a sample outside the body).
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "long-term monitoring of cardiac patients, for detection of rhythm disorders and ST-changes." This is a diagnostic function, but it's based on the direct measurement of the heart's electrical activity, not on analyzing a sample.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the CG-6550 is a medical device used for in vivo diagnostic monitoring, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
