Intended Use
The Medtronic Reveal Plus Insertable Loop Recorder is an implantable patient-activated monitoring system that records subcutaneous ECG and is indicated for patients who experience transient symptoms that may suggest a cardiac arrhythmia.
Device Description
The Reveal Plus ILR system is designed to record and store electrocardiogram (ECG) during symptomatic events. The system consists of the Model 9526 implanted recorder and the Model 6191 Activator. A Medtronic Model 9790 programmer equipped with a Medtronic Model 9766A radio frequency telemetry head and Model 9809E software is required for programming and retrieving data from the recorder. The primary new feature of the Reveal Plus ILR is the auto-activation function, which supplements the patient-activated function. Patient activation remains the primary means to capture an event. Patient activation is important to document the patient's ECG when either an arrhythmic or non-arrhythmic event occurs, providing the clinician with a symptom-rhythm correlation. Storage of a patient-activated event with normal sinus rhythm helps the physician to rule out arrhythmic causes. Auto activation may be useful for patients who may be incapable of using the patient Activator or who are otherwise noncompliant.

The provided text does not contain any K/DEN numbers for Reference Devices. It explicitly states "Reference Device(s): Not Found."

No
The description focuses on a new "auto-activation function" based on ECG analysis, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms. The performance studies describe in vitro and in vivo testing, but not the training or testing of an AI/ML model.

No
The device is described as a monitoring system that records ECG to help diagnose cardiac arrhythmias, rather than providing treatment.

Yes

Explanation: The device is described as an "implantable patient-activated monitoring system that records subcutaneous ECG" and is indicated for patients experiencing symptoms suggesting a cardiac arrhythmia. It records and stores ECG during symptomatic events to correlate symptoms with rhythm, which helps clinicians diagnose or rule out arrhythmic causes.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components including an implanted recorder (Model 9526), an Activator (Model 6191), a programmer (Model 9790), and a telemetry head (Model 9766A). While software (Model 9809E) is mentioned as part of the system, it is not the sole component.

Based on the provided information, the Medtronic Reveal Plus Insertable Loop Recorder is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health. This testing is performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Reveal Plus Function: The Reveal Plus Insertable Loop Recorder is an implantable device that records subcutaneous ECG. It monitors electrical activity within the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to monitor for cardiac arrhythmias based on the electrical signals detected from the heart, not by analyzing bodily fluids or tissues.

Therefore, the device's function and intended use clearly place it outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

The following studies were performed to ensure that the Reveal Plus ILR system meets all of its design and performance requirements.

In Vitro/Bench Testing:
Mechanical, battery and package testing were not repeated because Reveal Plus uses a mechanical platform that is identical to the Reveal ILR system. To evaluate other aspects of the Reveal Plus ILR system, the following in vitro testing was completed:
Model 9526 implanted recorder testing (hybrid qualification testing and electromagnetic compatibility testing)
Model 6191 Activator testing.
The Reveal Plus ILR system passed all of the in vitro requirements.

In Vivo Testing:
A canine study was performed to evaluate the auto-activation feature prior to human use. The false activations were evaluated before and after adjustments to the sensitivity setting.

Device Description

System Description

The Reveal Plus ILR system is designed to record and store electrocardiogram (ECG) during symptomatic events. The system consists of the Model 9526 implanted recorder and the Model 6191 Activator. A Medtronic Model 9790 programmer equipped with a Medtronic Model 9766A radio frequency telemetry head and Model 9809E software is required for programming and retrieving data from the recorder.

The primary new feature of the Reveal Plus ILR is the auto-activation function, which supplements the patient-activated function. Patient activation remains the primary means to capture an event. Patient activation is important to document the patient's ECG when either an arrhythmic or non-arrhythmic event occurs, providing the clinician with a symptom-rhythm correlation. Storage of a patient-activated event with normal sinus rhythm helps the physician to rule out arrhythmic causes. Auto activation may be useful for patients who may be incapable of using the patient Activator or who are otherwise noncompliant.

Packaging

Two package configurations are available. The Reveal Plus ILR system package contains the implanted recorder, the Activator, the Activator carrying case, the product information manual, and a patient information manual. A replacement Activator is available in the other package configuration. Both package configurations were fully validated.

Intended Use

The Medtronic Model 9526 Reveal Insertable Loop Recorder is an implantable monitoring and recording system designed for diagnostic evaluation of patients who experience transient symptoms that may suggest a cardiac arrhythmia.

Summary of Studies

The following studies were performed to ensure that the Reveal Plus ILR system meets all of its design and performance requirements.

In Vitro/Bench Testing

Mechanical, battery and package testing were not repeated because Reveal Plus uses a mechanical platform that is identical to the Reveal ILR system. To evaluate other aspects of the Reveal Plus ILR system, the following in vitro testing was completed:

Model 9526 implanted recorder testing (hybrid qualification testing and electromagnetic compatibility testing)

Model 6191 Activator testing.

The Reveal Plus ILR system passed all of the in vitro requirements.

In Vivo Testing

A canine study was performed to evaluate the auto-activation feature prior to human use. The false activations were evaluated before and after adjustments to the sensitivity setting.

Biocompatibility Information

Biocompatibility testing was not required because blood-contacting materials of the Reveal Plus ILR implanted device are the same as the predicate Reveal ILR.

Sterilization Validation

The Model 9526 implanted recorder is sterilized using a 100% Ethylene Oxide (EtO) sterilization process. The sterilization process is identical to that used for the Reveal model 9525 implanted recorder because all materials and packaging are identical to the Reveal ILR.

Conclusion

The testing described above provides reasonable assurance that the Reveal Plus ILR system will perform as intended when used in accordance with its labeling. Additionally, based on similarities in design, materials, in vitro test data and canine in vivo electrical performance, Medtronic considers the Reveal Plus ILR system to be substantially equivalent to the Reveal ILR system.
