Device Story
HearTwave II Cardiac Diagnostic System records ECGs, vector cardiograms, and measures Microvolt T-Wave Alternans (MTWA). Input: digitized ECG signals from seven standard stress test electrodes and seven proprietary multi-segment Micro-V Alternans sensors via a belt-worn patient module. Operation: Analytic Spectral Method processes signals to detect beat-to-beat T-wave amplitude variations. Used in stress labs (treadmill, ergometer, pharmacologic) by qualified personnel. Output: MTWA measurements and diagnostic reports. Clinical use: adjunct to clinical history and other tests to assess risk of sudden cardiac death or ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Physician reviews output to inform clinical decision-making regarding patient risk stratification.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided in this summary. Device relies on established Analytic Spectral Method performance previously cleared in predicate submissions.

### Indications for Use and Intended Population
The HearTwave II Cardiac Diagnostic System is intended for the recording of electrocardiograms, vector cardiograms and measurement of Microvolt T-Wave Alternans* at rest and during ECG stress testing.
The presence of Microvolt T-wave Alternans as measured by the analytic spectral method of the HearTwave II Cardiac Diagnostic System in patients with known, suspected or at risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmia predicts increased risk of a cardiac event (ventricular tachyarrhythmia or sudden death).
The Cambridge Heart HearTwave II Cardiac Diagnostic System should be used only as an adjunct to clinical history and the results of other non-invasive and/or invasive tests.
The predictive value of T-wave Alternans for cardiac events has not been established in patients with active, untreated ischemia.
*Microvolt T-wave Alternans is defined as T-wave alternans which (a) is measured from high-resolution multi-segment sensors, (b) is present in leads X, Y, Z, VM or two adjacent precordial leads, (c) is at the level of 1.9 microvolts after signal optimization and subtraction of the background noise level, (d) is at least three standard deviations greater than the background noise level, (e) has an onset heart rate at or below 110 beats per minute, and (f) is sustained for all heart rates above the onset heart rate.
#### Device Description
The Cambridge Heart HearTwave II Cardiac Diagnostic System is intended for the measurement and recording of T-Wave alternans. The alternans levels reported in K983012, K001034, K003492 and K022149 were measured using the Analytic Spectral Method. This method consists of several computational steps that combine to form a

unique analytical process. The Microvolt T-wave Alternans measurement, the output of this specific process, has been shown to be useful in predicting ventricular tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.
The Cambridge Heart HearTwave II Cardiac Diagnostic System provides T-wave alternans diagnostic capabilities to standard stress labs. The Analytic Spectral Method of Alternans Processing used in the Cambridge Heart HearTwave II is intended for the measurement of microvolt T-Wave alternans at rest and during treadmill, ergometer and pharmacologic stress testing.
The Alternans test using the Cambridge Heart HearTwave II is performed with seven standard stress test electrodes and seven proprietary multi-segment Micro-V Alternans™ Sensors. The electrodes and sensors are attached through a leadwire set to the beltworn Patient module, which provides digitized data to the HearTwave II.
### Patient Electrodes:
Patient electrodes designed and approved specifically for use during exercise stress testing should be used at all times with the Cambridge Heart Model HearTwave II Cardiac Diagnostic System.
Measurement of alternating beat to beat T-wave amplitude (alternans) requires the use of the Cambridge Heart Hi-Res Electrode (Ref: # K962115) or The Cambridge Heart Micro-V Alternans Sensor (Ref: #K002230) in conjunction with other Patient electrodes designed and approved specifically for use during exercise stress testing.
### Performance Standards
The Cambridge Heart HeartWave II Cardiac Diagnostic System is designed to meet the following Performance Standards:
- ANSI/AAMI EC11-1991 .
- EN60601-1: 2004, "Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General Requirements . for Safety" including Amendments A1 and A2

# Similarities and Differences to Predicates
The Model HearTwave II Cardiac Diagnostic System (new) is essentially the same device as in K02149 with the exception of the modification described in this premarket submission. The Model HearTwave II Cardiac Diagnostic System uses the same Analytic Spectral Method as the CH2000 (K02149) for measuring T-Wave Alternans.
### Conclusion
There are more similarities than differences between the predicate device and the Cambridge Heart HearTwave II Cardiac Diagnostic System. Both the predicate devices use the Analytic Spectral Method of Alternans Processing. When used in accordance with the directions for use, by qualified personnel, the Cambridge Heart HeartWave II Cardiac Diagnostic System is safe and effective, as indicated, for its intended use.
