Intended Use
The EventStation is intended to be used as a central receiving station for electrocardiograms that are recorded by Patient-Activated cardiac event recorders and then transmitted by telephone to a central station. It can operate in either an automatic "Unattended Mode" or a manual "Attended Mode." It has no ECG analysis capability, and is not intended to be used for this purpose. The system can also download the contents of Reynolds event recorders directly by means of a cable. It is not intended to display pacemaker activity.
Device Description
The EventStation enables the physician to receive and review ECG recordings transmitted by the patient from a Reynolds CardioCall event recorder and other compatible event recorders. The EventStation consists of a personal computer with voice modem, operating under Windows 98, and special software written by Reynolds Medical Ltd. The computer is assembled by Reynolds from standard components, and has been modified so that the operating system cannot be changed and unauthorized software cannot be loaded.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document explicitly states the device "has no ECG analysis capability" and does not mention any AI or ML terms.

No
The device is a central receiving station for electrocardiograms, functioning primarily as a data receiver and reviewer rather than directly treating or diagnosing physiological conditions.

No

The device is a central receiving station for electrocardiograms (ECGs) and acts as a data repository and review system. It explicitly states, "It has no ECG analysis capability, and is not intended to be used for this purpose." This indicates it does not interpret or diagnose conditions based on the ECG data it receives, which is a core function of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states that the EventStation consists of a personal computer with a voice modem and special software. While the software is a key component, the system includes hardware (personal computer, voice modem) that is assembled and modified by the manufacturer. Therefore, it is not a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, the EventStation is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • EventStation's Function: The EventStation's primary function is to receive and manage electrocardiograms (ECG), which are recordings of electrical activity of the heart. It does not analyze biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "central receiving station for electrocardiograms" and "has no ECG analysis capability."
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its role in receiving and reviewing ECG recordings.

Therefore, the EventStation falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

(a) Non-clinical tests
The EventStation software has been tested in accordance with EN60950, En 55022, and EN50082. EN 60950 is the standard required for non-patient contact equipment, and the other standards are for electromagnetic interference and immunity.

The EventStation software has undergone extensive validation testing.

(b) Clinical tests
An Equivalence test has been done on patients, to show that the EventStation is equivalent to a predicate device.

(c) Conclusions
The EventStation ECG Trans-Telephonic Receiving System is equivalent in safety and efficacy to the legally-marketed predicate devices.

Re : K991211 EventStation ECG TransTelephonic Receiving System Requlatory Class: II (two) Product Code: DXH Dated: April 9, 1999 Received: April 9, 1999

Dear Mr. Myers:

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 legally 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 Drug 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 Reqister. Please note: this
