Intended Use
These patient cables and leadwires are intended to be used with ECG, EKG, Sp02 and Blood Pressure monitoring devices.
Device Description
Advantage Medical Cables are produced using purchased 5 conductor cable and single conductor leadwire, both shielded and un-shielded, which is cut to various lengths, terminated with the appropriate type terminals and housed in a protective covering made from different types of FDA Grade thermoplastic elastomers, (polypropylene and TPR), using an injection molding process and custom built molds to achieve the desired shape and size. The cito-toxticity test results are in Attachment J1. The most common cable configuration is of a three or five conductor cable with a metal or plastic connector terminated on one end by crimp or solder method, using various keyway configurations depending on the make and model of the monitor, for connection to the monitoring device, and the three or five conductors terminated into a yoke assembly for the leadwires to attach on the other end. The leadwires may be permanently attached to the yoke or terminated on one end with a .060 diameter pin and over molded with the mating DIN style connector and a snap or pinch type connector on the other end for connection to the patient electrodes. The leadwires may be shielded or unshielded construction. See Attachment E2-1 Patient Cable Drawing CB-71330R, and Illustration E1. Advantage Medical Cables and leadwires are used in conjunction with various patient monitoring equipment such as ECG, EKG, SpO2 and Blood Pressure equipment for short term diagnostic monitoring. They are not intended to be used in any manner other than as the connection between the monitoring equipment and the electrode pads to monitor the signals between the patient and the transmitter/receiver.

No
The device description focuses on the physical construction and materials of patient cables and leadwires, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No.
The device is used for monitoring signals from the patient and connecting to other monitoring equipment, not for treating any condition.

No.

The device explicitly states its purpose is "as the connection between the monitoring equipment and the electrode pads to monitor the signals between the patient and the transmitter/receiver." It is a cable and leadwire system, which transmits signals, but does not perform the diagnostic function itself. The diagnostic function is performed by the "patient monitoring equipment such as ECG, EKG, SpO2 and Blood Pressure equipment."

No

The device description explicitly details the manufacturing process and materials used for physical cables and leadwires, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the cables and leadwires are for connecting to patient monitoring devices (ECG, EKG, SpO2, Blood Pressure) to monitor signals between the patient and the equipment. This is a direct connection to the patient for physiological monitoring, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical construction of cables and leadwires for connecting to monitoring equipment and electrodes. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components used for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detection or measurement of specific analytes
    • Use of reagents or assays
    • Diagnostic information derived from testing samples in vitro

The device described is a medical accessory used for connecting patient monitoring equipment to the patient. This falls under the category of medical devices used for physiological monitoring, not in vitro diagnostics.

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

Performance testing has been performed using the different types of monitors from the original equipment manufacturers, the OEM cables, Tronomed Cables and Advantage Medical Cables as described in the Performance Testing section, Attachment K. As shown in the engineering drawings and the photographic illustrations, except for the color of the cable and leadwires and subtle differences in the shape of the molded connectors and yokes, the AMC cables are identical in their function and performance characteristics as to the Tronomed cables.

Testing

Performance testing has been performed using the different types of monitors from the original equipment manufacturers, the OEM cables, Tronomed Cables and Advantage Medical Cables as described in the Performance Testing section, Attachment K.

Manufacturing Facility

Advantage Medical Cables, Inc., a division of Advantage Medical Electronics, Inc. (AME) is located at 10630 Wiles Road in Coral Springs, Florida 33076 and is housed in a 10,000 square foot fully air conditioned single story building. The molding and assembly areas are adequately lighted and are equipped with all the tools and equipment required to produce high quality cables and leadwires. Additional or special customer requirements are reviewed and tools and equipment purchased to meet their requirements.

AME is registered with the FDA as a manufacturer and refurbisher/rebuilder of medical equipment. number 1063285. A Class 1 CE mark has been applied for in order to sell AMC Cables and leadwires in the EEC.

All cables and leadwires are produced using a revision controlled engineering drawing and work order, see Attachment E2 & E5. Records are maintained for each manufacturing lot number and customer. Each cable is tested to ensure conformance to the customer or regulatory requirements. Traceability is sufficient to facilitate product recall if necessary using the lot numbers and shipping records.

All AMC equipment used for product acceptance testing is calibrated and traceable to NIST standards.

Advantage Medical Cable's quality system is in compliance with ISO 9002 and EN 46002. Internal and independent audits are conducted to ensure conformance to the quality manual and quality system procedures. Registration is scheduled for Q3/99.

All personnel are trained and/or qualified as applicable for the job assigned. Training records are maintained.

Summary

As shown in the engineering drawings and the photographic illustrations, except for the color of the cable and leadwires and subtle differences in the shape of the molded connectors and yokes, the AMC cables are identical in their function and performance characteristics as to the Tronomed cables.

The products are manufactured on similar type equipment, with exception to the size and make of the machine, and under the same general manufacturing conditions with exception to size and location of the facilities.

The minor differences in the characteristics noted do not effect quality, safety or functionality of the cable and leadwires manufactured by AMC.
