Intended Use

The CloudEKG device is a 12 standard leads battery operated unit intended for recording and transmitting standard electrocardiogram signals for cardiac monitoring and diagnosis by healthcare professionals. Recorded signals are processed by the device and transmitted to a PC or hand-held monitoring device wirelessly using Bluetooth technology. The transmitted signals are displayed on the monitoring device to allow for their review, analysis, saving, and printing by healthcare professionals. CloudEKG can be used in adults and infants weighing less than 22 lbs (10 Kg) but is not appropriate for use to monitor critical patients or perform intracardiac recordings. All measurements obtained with the CloudEKG device should take into account the patient's clinical symptoms and findings to be considered valid and no treatment by drugs or other therapies should be initiated based solely on the measurements obtained with the device.

Device Story

CloudEKG is a mobile, battery-operated digital electrocardiograph system. It acquires EKG signals via electrodes and cables (3/6 or 12-lead configurations), amplifies them, and converts them to digital format via an ADC. Data is transmitted via Bluetooth to a PC or handheld device running POLY-SPECTRUM.NET software. The system is used in outpatient clinics, doctor practices, or by trained patients for home monitoring. Healthcare providers review, analyze, print, and store the EKG data on the receiving unit to support cardiac diagnosis. The device provides heart rate and QRS axis calculations but does not perform automated ECG interpretation. It aids clinical decision-making by providing diagnostic-quality EKG data, though it is not intended for critical care or intracardiac use.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and performance validation against recognized industry standards (IEC 60601 series).

Technological Characteristics

Battery-operated (2x AA) digital EKG system. 12-lead capability. 24-bit ADC. Bluetooth connectivity. Frequency response 0.05-150 Hz. Input impedance ≥ 20 MΩ. CMRR 100 dB. Defibrillation-protected patient cable. Dimensions 140 x 70 x 24 mm. Weight 200 g. Software: POLY-SPECTRUM.NET (non-interpretive).

Indications for Use

Indicated for cardiac monitoring and diagnosis in adults and infants weighing < 22 lbs (10 kg). Not for use on critical patients or for intracardiac recordings.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A telephone electrocardiograph transmitter and receiver is a device used to condition an electrocardiograph signal so that it can be transmitted via a telephone line to another location. This device also includes a receiver that reconditions the received signal into its original format so that it can be displayed. The device includes devices used to transmit and receive pacemaker signals.

PREDICATE DEVICES Corscience BT3/6, BT12, K082077 #### 4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION #### Physical Description CloudEKG is a compact and mobile digital electrocardiograph system. When in connection wirelessly with a receiving unit, the device can be worn on a patient's body and serves as a stand alone EKG system for the following purposes: - . Acquiring EKG signals - Displaying, processing and storing EKG signals on the receiving unit with the . included POLY-SPECTRUM.NET software - . Cardiac monitoring and medical diagnosis support for qualified health care providers The CloudEKG device is not intended for monitoring critical patients or for intra-cardiac use but can be used in outpatient clinical or doctor practice areas. {1}------------------------------------------------ The device can also be operated by a properly trained patient for home monitoring purposes. The acquired EKG signals are transferred to an external receiving unit via a Bluetooth interface. The signals can be displayed, saved, read, printed and processed by a trained health care provider and transmitted remotely for further use. The delivery set includes an electronic unit, a patient cable, 2 AA batteries, a Bluetooth adapter, software, and a user manual. Depending on the chosen number of leads/standards for recording electrocardiographic signals, recordings can be made from: - 1. Four (4) standard leads (Einthoven and Goldberger) - 2. Six (6) standard leads (Wilson setup) Sensors, button and tab electrodes can be connected to ColudEKG via electrode clips on the ECG cables. With the integrated data transmission technology, EKG data can be transmitted online to a nearby PC or handheld device unit for evaluation. #### How the Device Functions The device's principle of operation is based on the recording and transmission of electrocardiogram (EKG) signals to a PC or handheld device for the purpose of cardiac monitoring and diagnosis. The functional scheme of the device is represented in figure 5-1. The ECG signals collected from the patient are transferred to 8 amplifier channels via the electrodes and cables. The amplified signals are then delivered to multi-channel analog-todigital converter (ADC). The ADC processes the received information and transfers it to PC or handheld device via Bluetooth radio interface. The signals are processed with the POLY-SECTRUM.NET software, displayed and presented in different modes. The data can be stored, or processed to generate exam reports, or printed for qualified health care providers to interpret the result. The required power supply for all electronic components of recording is provided by 2 AA alkaline batteries or rechargeable batteries. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Figure/1 description: The image shows a block diagram of an ECG system. The system consists of several components, including amplifiers for 10 ECG channels, an ADC, a central processor, a Bluetooth module, and a supply unit. The amplifiers receive input from electrodes labeled FD, LD, CH1 through CH8, R, and N. The central processor is connected to indicators for battery discharge, operation, and Bluetooth operation. Figure 5-1. Device Functional Scheme #### Scientific Concepts that form the Basis for the Device Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG from the German Elektrokardiogramm) is a noninvasive technique for recording and evaluating electrical activity in the heart. EKG is performed using an instrument called an electrocardiograph, to produce a record called an electrocardiogram generated by the heart muscle cell depolarization during each heartbeat. The EKG signals can be used to identify if the heart muscle or neural tissues have been damaged and/or to measure the effects of drugs or devices used to regulate the heart, such as a pacemaker. #### Significant Physical and Performance Characteristics of the Device, such as Device Design, Material Used, and Physical Properties The CloudEKG delivery set consists of an electronic unit, a patient cable, 2 AA batteries, a Bluetooth adapter, software and a user manual. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Figure/1 description: The image shows a device labeled as "CloudEKG" with various indicators and buttons. The device features an on/off button, indicators for BT operation, battery discharge, and general operation. It also includes a clamp for electronic unit fixation and a battery compartment.
