Intended Use
The PE 501 PC-ECG is indicated for acquiring and displaying 2 channel ECG signals through a personal computer and transferring the recorded ECG signals to a remote computer. It is designed for stationary use and is not for ambulatory use. It is intended for use primarily in out-patient clinics. The PE 501 PC-ECG device should be operated by a licensed healthcare practitioner.
Device Description
The PE 501 PC-ECG Monitor is a battery-powered, personal computer based electrocardiograph monitoring device. It is designed to acquire, display and record 2 channel ECG signals. The ECG signals are sent to the computer through a serial port and displayed on the computer screen. The ECG signals associated with personal information can be stored into the computer hard disk or floppy disk. Desired segments of the recorded ECG signals can be printed on any Windows compatible printers. The recorded ECG signals can be easily retrieved and can also be transferred to a remote computer with floppy disk, direct machine to machine or E-mail.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a basic ECG acquisition and display device with data storage and transfer capabilities, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation.

No
The device is described as an ECG monitor used for acquiring, displaying, and recording ECG signals, which is a diagnostic function rather than a therapeutic one. It does not mention any direct treatment or intervention for a medical condition.

Yes
The device is described as an "electrocardiograph monitoring device" that acquires, displays, and records 2-channel ECG signals, which are used to assess the heart's electrical activity for diagnostic purposes. It is explicitly indicated for "acquiring and displaying 2 channel ECG signals" and intended for use by a "licensed healthcare practitioner" in "out-patient clinics," all of which point to a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "battery-powered, personal computer based electrocardiograph monitoring device" and describes the acquisition of ECG signals, indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the PE 501 PC-ECG is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The PE 501 PC-ECG acquires and displays electrical signals from the human body (ECG signals) directly from the patient. It does not analyze biological specimens.

The device is an electrocardiograph, which is a medical device used to measure and record the electrical activity of the heart. This falls under the category of in vivo diagnostic devices, as it interacts directly with the living body to obtain diagnostic information.

Premarket Notification [510(k)] Summary

  • Submitted by: NHE, Corporation 7100 Fernwood St. Suite 1902 Richmond, VA 23228
  • Contact Person: Sugen Zhang

Device: PE 501 PC-ECG Monitor Class II

Description: The PE 501 PC-ECG Monitor is a battery-powered, personal computer based electrocardiograph monitoring device. It is designed to acquire, display and record 2 channel ECG signals. The ECG signals are sent to the computer through a serial port and displayed on the computer screen. The ECG signals associated with personal information can be stored into the computer hard disk or floppy disk. Desired segments of the recorded ECG signals can be printed on any Windows compatible printers. The recorded ECG signals can be easily retrieved and can also be transferred to a remote computer with floppy disk, direct machine to machine or E-mail.

Intended Use: Acquiring and displaying 2 channel ECG signals through a personal computer.

Storing ECG signals in computer hard disk and/or floppy disk for a selected time. The standard recording time can be selected from 2 minutes (default) to 100 minutes with 1 minute increment. (Longer recording time up to 48 hours is optional).

Printing the recorded ECG signals on plain papers.

Transferring the recorded ECG signals to a remote computer with floppy disk, direct machine to machine or E-mail.

Substantially Equivalent (SE) to:

ER 700 Series Ambulatory ECG Event Monitor by Braemar Corp., MN, 510(k)# K981394 PC-ECG, by I.P.I. - International Products Inc., the basic model, PC-ECG, of a PC-ECG series of family with no interpretation functions. 510(k)# K963578

Technological characteristics:

All three devices compared use similar technologies to acquire patient's ECG signals, amplify the signals, perform analog-to-digital conversion and store the signals in a digital format. Both PE 501 and ER 720 acquire 2 channel ECG signals but ER 720 stores the signal in a build-in flash memory and PE 501 stores it in computer hard disk. Both PE 501 and IPI PC-ECG store ECG in computer but PE 501 only records 2 channel ECG and IPI PC-ECG records 12 lead ECG signals.
