## Intended Use

The intended use of the CASE 8000 exercise testing system is to acquire, process, record, archive, analyze, and output data during a period of physiologic stress or during a resting ECG condition. The CASE 8000 exercise testing system has the ability to calculate prognostic scores. These include DUKE treadmill score and Risk Factor Prediction, which are Coronary Heart Disease Risk Factor and Stroke Risk Factor. A user selectable option can provide printout of prognostic scores on select reports. A vector loops report is also available. Ancillary functions include control of an external device (typically a treadmill or ergometer) and communications with centralized electronic/digital storage system. The device records 12 lead ECG data taken in resting and exercise modes, as well as real-time rhythm and median morphology recordings. The device can perform a 12 lead interpretive analysis on the resting ECG, providing the user with statements of morphology, rhythm and conduction. No changes have been made to this algorithm - 12SL Analysis System K973403. The CASE 8000 exercise testing system is intended to be used by trained operators under the direct supervision of a licensed health care practitioner when exercise or resting ECG records are required. The CASE 8000 exercise testing system is intended to be used primarily in hospital based exercise testing laboratories, but can be used in clinics, physician offices, outreach centers or wherever exercise testing is performed.

## Device Story

PC-based exercise testing system; acquires, processes, records, and analyzes 12-lead ECG data during rest or physiologic stress. Components include CPU, display, acquisition module, and cart. Controls external exercise equipment (treadmills/ergometers). Integrates with MUSE CV Information System for data management/storage. Operated by trained personnel under physician supervision in clinical settings. Provides interpretive analysis of morphology, rhythm, and conduction; calculates prognostic scores (Duke treadmill, CHD/Stroke risk factors); generates vector loop reports. Output assists clinicians in diagnostic decision-making; facilitates long-term data archiving.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Quality assurance measures included risk analysis, requirements specification reviews, code inspections, software/hardware testing, safety/environmental testing, and final validation. No clinical trial data presented.

## Technological Characteristics

PC-based architecture; 12-lead ECG acquisition; connectivity via network to centralized storage (MUSE). Employs 12SL Analysis System algorithm for interpretive analysis. Standalone or networked operation. No specific material standards or energy sources beyond standard medical electrical equipment requirements.

CardioSys K973403 12SL Analysis System

{1}------------------------------------------------

Device Description:

The CASE 8000 exercise testing system is a PC-based device capable of being operated as a stand-alone system or in conjunction with a centralized electronic/digital storage system such as the MUSE CV Information System - K980495 (MUSE). Major components include a CPU, display, modem, mouse, printer, keyboard, power supply, acquisition module and a cart. It is intended to be used primarily in hospital based exercise testing laboratories. It can also be used in clinics and outreach centers or wherever exercise testing is performed.

The primary application of the device is to acquire, process, record, archive, analyze and output data during a period of physiologic stress or during rest. Ancillary functions include control of an external exercise device, typically a treadmill or ergometer, and communication with a centralized electronic/digital storage system such as the MUSE.

When used in conjunction with MUSE, the CASE 8000 exercise testing system is capable of bringing computerized information management to the exercise laboratory. Demographic and order information can be downloaded to the system to simplify order management and data entry operation. Results from previous tests can be reviewed on the system after network download from the MUSE. New results can be quickly sent to the MUSE for long term storage.

## Section 11 Indications for Use Statement

510/k) Number lif known):

Unknown - 510/k) filed March 25, 1999

Device Name:

CASE 8000 exercise testing system

Indications For Use:

The CASE 8000 exercise testing system is a diagnostic device intended to monitor and record electrocardiographic data from the patient during exercise, as well as perform resting ECG analysis.

The intended use of the CASE 8000 exercise testing system is to acquire, process, record, archive, analyze, and output data during a period of physiologic stress or during a resting ECG condition. The CASE 8000 exercise testing system has the ability to calculate prognostic scores. A user selectable option can provide printout of prognostic scores on select reports. A vector loops report is also available.

Ancillary functions include control of an external device (typically a treadmill or ergometer) and communications with centralized electronic/digital storage system.

This device uses a computerized analysis program, which can be used as a tool in ECG tracing interpretation.

The device records 12 lead ECG data taken in resting and exercise modes, as well as real-time rhythm and median morphology recordings. The device can perform a 12 lead interpretive analysis on the resting ECG, providing the user with statements of morphology, rhythm and conduction.

The CASE 8000 exercise testing system is intended to be used by trained operators under the direct supervision of a licensed health care practitioner when exercise or resting ECG records are required.

The CASE 8000 exercise testing system is intended to be used primarily in hospital based exercise testing laboratories, but can be used in clinics, physician offices, outreach centers or wherever exercise testing is performed. This device is not intended for use with high frequency surgical units.

The CASE 8000 system is not intended to be used as a vital signs physiological monitor.

This equipment will not cause abnormal operation of a patient's cardiac pacemaker or other electronic stimulator.
