Intended Use
The Audicor™ Sensor is a single-use, disposable medical device designed for short duration contact (up to 1 hour) for use at the V4 ECG electrode position to acquire both heart sounds and ECG electrical signals when attached to the body surface of a resting, adult (18+ years of age) patient, and to transmit these signals to compatible electrocardiographs and physiological recorders/monitors. Such equipment is commonly located in hospitals, doctor's offices and emergency vehicles.
Device Story
Audicor Sensor is a single-use, disposable, non-sterile device for V4 chest position. It functions as both an ECG electrode and an electronic stethoscope microphone. Input: electrical ECG signals and acoustic heart sounds from patient skin surface. Operation: requires Audicor Adaptor to transmit signals to compatible electrocardiographs and physiological monitors. Used in hospitals, clinics, and emergency vehicles by healthcare professionals. Output: raw ECG and heart sound signals for display/analysis by external equipment. Benefits: enables simultaneous acquisition of electrical and acoustic cardiac data using a single sensor site, simplifying clinical workflow for cardiac monitoring.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Compliance with AAMI EC12:2000 (disposable ECG electrodes) and AAMI EC53:1995 (ECG cables/lead wires) confirmed. Biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, primary skin irritation, delayed dermal contact sensitization) for the conductive hydrogel material showed acceptable results.
Technological Characteristics
Single-use, disposable sensor. Materials: conductive hydrogel. Sensing: ECG electrode and integrated microphone. Frequency range: 20–660 Hz. Connectivity: wired transmission to compatible monitors via Audicor Adaptor. Standards: AAMI EC12:2000, AAMI EC53:1995, ISO 10993. Operating temperature: 10°C to 35°C.
Indications for Use
Indicated for resting adult patients (18+ years) requiring short-duration (up to 1 hour) acquisition of heart sounds and ECG signals at the V4 chest position.
Regulatory Classification
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.
Special Controls
*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.

to the standard.
Biocompatibility for the hydrogel, the primary patient contact material of the sensor, was evaluated. Test results demonstrate that the material was found acceptable for cytotoxicity, primary skin irritation, and delayed dermal contact sensitization.
Based on the results of the engineering/design level and biocompatibility tests, it is concluded that the sensor performs as expected and compares well, in terms of overall performance to the selected predicate devices and raises no new questions with regard to safety and efficacy.
The Inovise Medical Audicor Sensor is substantially Substantial Equivalence: equivalent to the Kendall-LTP Disposable ECG electrode (K953649) and the E-Scope Electronic Stethoscope.
The table below contains the comparison of features and Technological principles of operation between the Audicor Sensor and other Characteristics: selected predicate devices.
