← Product Code LOS · K951130 # CARDIOSOFT/CARDIOSYS (K951130) _Marquette Electronics, Inc. · LOS · Apr 4, 1996 · CV · SESE_ **Canonical URL:** https://fda.innolitics.com/device/K951130 ## Device Facts - **Applicant:** Marquette Electronics, Inc. - **Product Code:** LOS - **Decision Date:** Apr 4, 1996 - **Decision:** SESE - **Submission Type:** Traditional - **Review Panel:** CV - **Attributes:** Software as a Medical Device ## Intended Use CardioSoft / CardioSys are intended to be used in resting ECG, emergency- and stress-test departments to record, archive and disseminate ECG information. They are intended to be used by trained operators under the direct supervision of a physician when ECG records are required in the judgement of a physician. The arrhythmia detection portion of the CardioSoft / CardioSys stress test system is provided to the user for the convenience of automatic documentation. The CardioSoft / CardioSys offers no diagnostic opinion to the user. Instead, it provides a high fidelity instrument recording ECG waveforms during exercise, for the purpose of providing the operator with a tool to expedite the documentation of a test for which he/she renders his/her own medical opinion. They are not designed for intracardial use. They are not designed to provide alarms for arrhythmia and ST-segment measurement. The devices are not intended for home use. ## Device Story ECG data acquisition and recording system; records resting ECGs and stress test examinations; measures and interprets ECGs. Operates in clinical settings (resting ECG, emergency, stress-test departments) by trained operators under physician supervision. Inputs: ECG waveforms. Outputs: ECG recordings and documentation. Arrhythmia detection feature provides automatic documentation for operator convenience; no diagnostic opinion provided. System facilitates clinical decision-making by providing high-fidelity waveforms for physician review. Benefits: expedites test documentation. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Compliance with ANSI/AAMI EC11-1991, ANSI/AAMI ECAR-1987, IEC 601-1, IEC 601-1-1, IEC 601-1-2, and IEC 601-2-25. Quality assurance included requirements specification, design reviews, code inspections, software/hardware testing, safety/environmental testing, final validation by independent group, and field tests. ## Technological Characteristics ECG acquisition system. Standards: ANSI/AAMI EC11-1991, ANSI/AAMI ECAR-1987, IEC 601-1, IEC 601-1-1, IEC 601-1-2, IEC 601-2-25. Uses commercially available hardware and system software. Software functionality reused from predicate device. ## Predicate Devices - HELLIGE CARDIOGNOST EK 512 ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Tong Managing director: Karl F. Braun HRB 3093 Freiburg im Breisgau {1} 7 # HELLIGE - The arrhythmia detection portion of the CardioSoft / CardioSys stress test system is provided to the user for the convenience of automatic documentation. The CardioSoft / CardioSys offers no diagnostic opinion to the user. Instead, it provides a high fidelity instrument recording ECG waveforms during exercise, for the purpose of providing the operator with a tool to expedite the documentation of a test for which he/she renders his/her own medical opinion. - They are not designed for intracardial use. - They are not designed to provide alarms for arrhythmia and ST-segment measurement. - The devices are not intended for home use. The intended use of CardioSoft / CardioSys does not differ from the intended use of the predicate device. ## Technology CardioSoft / CardioSys basically employ the same technology as the predicate device. All parts of the software which determine the medical functionality of the device have been re-used from the predicate device. The main difference between CardioSoft / CardioSys and the predicate device is that commercially available hardware and system software are used instead of proprietary hardware and software. ## Performance CardioSoft / CardioSys comply with the voluntary standard ANSI/AAMI EC11-1991, ANSI/AAMI ECAR-1987, IEC 601-1, IEC 601-1-1, IEC 601-1-2 and IEC 601-2-25. CardioSoft and CardioSys passed the EC type-examination and thus bear the CE mark. The following quality assurance measures were applied to the development of CardioSoft / CardioSys: Requirements specification and design reviews, code inspections, software and hardware testing, safety testing, environmental testing, final validation testing by an independent test group, field tests. The results of these measures demonstrated that CardioSoft / CardioSys are as safe, as effective, and perform as well as the predicate device CARDIOGNOST EK 512. Signature: *Wano M.
