They are intended to be used in both hospital and prehospital settings under the direction of a licensed health care practitioner. ## Device Story BodyTrode is a single-use, disposable ECG electrode; consists of conductive adhesive hydrogel, top polymer, and radiotranslucent stud. Applied to patient skin to acquire cardiac electrical signals; signals transmitted via leadwires/cables to external monitor for display/analysis. Used in hospital and pre-hospital settings by healthcare practitioners. Facilitates continuous cardiac monitoring; aids clinical decision-making by providing ECG data for rhythm analysis. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Performance evaluated per ANSI/AAMI EC12-1991 standards, including package aging (real-time and Van't Hoff rule). Biocompatibility of hydrogel confirmed per ISO 10993-1:1992 and FDA Matrix. ## Technological Characteristics Round lamination; conductive adhesive hydrogel; top polymer; silver/silver chloride coated radiotranslucent plastic stud. Single-use. Tested per ANSI/AAMI EC12-1991. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1:1992. ## Regulatory Identification An electrocardiograph electrode is the electrical conductor which is applied to the surface of the body to transmit the electrical signal at the body surface to a processor that produces an electrocardiogram or vectorcardiogram. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9. The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Electrocardiograph Electrodes.” See § 870.1(e) for availability information of guidance documents. ## Predicate Devices - Marquette ECG electrode (PN 9408-401) ([K833695](/device/K833695.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Establishment Information Manufacturer/Submitter: Marquette Electronics, Inc. 100 Marquette Drive Jupiter, FL 33469 Contact Name/Phone #: Michael Laughran Regulatory Affairs Marquette Electronics, Inc. Phone: (407) 574-5000 ## 2. General Device Information Common/Usual Name: Electrocardiograph (ECG) Electrode Trade/Proprietary Name: BodyTrode Classification Name: Electrocardiograph electrode (CFR 870.2360) Device Classification: Class II Performance Standards: None established under section 514 ## 3. Substantial Equivalence: BodyTrode is substantially equivalent to Marquette ECG electrodes which are currently legally marketed under 510(k) 833695. ## 4. Device Description: The Marquette BodyTrode ECG Electrodes are adhesive hydrogenled, single use ECG electrodes intended for use with adult and pediatric patients. The product is a polymer electrode comprised of three elements: a top polymer, a conductive adhesive hydrogel, and a radiotranslucent stud. The BodyTrode electrodes are applied to the patient’s skin surface to acquire electrocardiographic activity of the heart. They are used in combination with patient leadwires, cables, and a monitor to display and/or analyze a patient’s ECG. ## 5. Intended Use: The BodyTrode is a short term, single use (disposable), adult and pediatric ECG electrode which is applied to the intact skin surface to acquire electrocardiographic activity of the heart which can be displayed and analyzed when used in combination with leadwires, cables, and a monitor. They are intended to be used in both hospital and prehospital settings under the direction of a licensed health care practitioner. {1} Section 16: 510(k) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS (continued) 6. Comparison to legally marketed predicate device. | CHARACTERISTIC | PREDICATE DEVICE PN 9408-401 | PROPOSED DEVICE BODYTRODE | | --- | --- | --- | | Intended Use | A disposable device for the detection of physiological potentials such as ECG, EEG, etc. through skin surface contact. | The BodyTrode is a short term, single use (disposable), adult and pediatric ECG electrode which is applied to the intact skin surface to acquire electrocardiographic activity of the heart which can be displayed and analyzed when used in combination with leadwires, cables, and a monitor. They are intended to be used in both hospital and prehospital settings under the direction of a licensed health care practitioner. | | Materials/Construction | Oval lamination consisting of an adhesive coated foam pad and ring, a styrene ring, and conductive gel which is connected by a silver/silver chloride coated radiotranslucent plastic electrode and stud. The assembly is placed in a plastic holder and packaged in foil coated paper. | Round lamination consisting of a layer of conductive adhesive hydrogel and a top polymer with a silver/silver chloride coated radiotranslucent plastic stud. The assembly is placed in a plastic holder and packaged in foil coated paper. | | Expiration Date | 15 months from date of manufacture | 12 months from date of manufacture | 7. The following non-clinical tests were conducted and submitted for determination of substantial equivalence. - Tests recommended in ANSI/AAMI voluntary standard of EC12-1991 with package aging using both real time and the Von’t Hoff rule were conducted to demonstrate performance and technological characteristics. - Bio-compatibility tests were conducted for the patient contact materials (the hydrogel). The tests were selected in accordance to ISO 10993-1:1992 and the FDA Matrix. 8. Conclusion Testing done on the proposed BodyTrode and the predicate Marquette ECG electrode (PN 9408-401) indicates that the proposed provides an equivalent when compared to the ANSI/AAMI standard of EC12-1991 and ISO 10993-1:1992 and the FDA Matrix when tested as specified in the pre-market submission. Marquette Electronics, Inc. concludes that the proposed BodyTrode is as safe and effective and performs substantially equivalent to the predicate Marquette ECG Electrode. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-c%E2%80%94cardiovascular-monitoring-devices/DRX/K961288](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-c%E2%80%94cardiovascular-monitoring-devices/DRX/K961288) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
