Product Code
Definition
Devices are intended to continuously record, display, and/or analyze electrocardiograms of patients in in a healthcare facility for detecting conditions that may require prompt intervention. They may include automatic detection and recording of cardiac electrical activity, automated detection of life-threatening arrhythmias or other relevant conditions, and/or alarm generation. Devices may allow remote access and display of electrocardiograms acquired. Devices are intended for patients who require continuous monitoring in hospitals or healthcare facilities, with onsite medical review by qualified personnel at the central monitoring/analysis station followed by immediate notification of onsite qualified medical responders. Devices may be used for patients at elevated risk of serious cardiovascular events that would require prompt intervention. Devices are intended for prescription use only.

CFR § 870.1025 Arrhythmia detector and alarm (including ST-segment measurement and alarm)

§ 870.1025 Arrhythmia detector and alarm (including ST-segment measurement and alarm).

(a) Identification. The arrhythmia detector and alarm device monitors an electrocardiogram and is designed to produce a visible or audible signal or alarm when atrial or ventricular arrhythmia, such as premature contraction or ventricular fibrillation, occurs.

(b) Classification. Class II (special controls). The guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Arrhythmia Detector and Alarm” will serve as the special control. See § 870.1 for the availability of this guidance document.
