No
The summary describes a simple electrical conductor (electrode) and does not mention any AI/ML terms, image processing, or data analysis that would typically indicate AI/ML involvement.

No
The device is used to transmit electrical signals to a monitor for diagnosis, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The device description states its purpose is "for diagnosis of ailments by health professionals" by transmitting electrical signals to a monitor.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "electrical conductor applied to a patient's skin," which is a physical component (hardware).

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 these samples outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The description states the device is an electrical conductor applied to the patient's skin to transmit electrical signals from the body surface to a monitor. This is a device that interacts directly with the patient's body to acquire signals, not a device that analyzes samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for diagnosis of ailments by health professionals based on the transmitted electrical signals. This aligns with devices used for physiological monitoring or recording (like ECG electrodes), which are not typically classified as IVDs.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological signal acquisition, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 870.2360 Electrocardiograph electrode.

(a)
Identification. An electrocardiograph electrode is the electrical conductor which is applied to the surface of the body to transmit the electrical signal at the body surface to a processor that produces an electrocardiogram or vectorcardiogram.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9. The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Electrocardiograph Electrodes.” See § 870.1(e) for availability information of guidance documents.

Re: K991105 ECG Electrode (various) Requlatory Class: II (two) Product Code: DRX Dated: October 21, 1999 Received: October 25, 1999

Dear Mr. Duesler:

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 leqally marketed predicate 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 provisions of the Federal Food, Druq, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You 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 Regulation (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 regulatory 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.

Page 2 - Mr. Ira D. Duesler, Jr.

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.
