The 2560 and 2570 electrodes can be used in all ECG applications where standard ECG monitoring electrodes are used. These electrodes can be used for short term and long term (up to 5 Days) monitoring. ## Device Story Self-adhesive, single-use, non-sterile disposable ECG monitoring electrodes; silver/silver chloride sensing element; conductive sticky gel; pressure-sensitive adhesive foam tape; 2570 model includes abrader. Used by clinicians for short or long-term ECG signal acquisition. Electrodes adhere to patient skin to facilitate electrical signal transmission to ECG monitoring equipment. Benefits include reliable signal monitoring for up to 5 days. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Electrical performance verified against ANSI/AAMI EC12/1991 standards for disposable ECG electrodes. Biocompatibility assessed per ISO 10993-1. ## Technological Characteristics Silver/silver chloride sensing element; conductive sticky gel; pressure-sensitive adhesive foam tape; 2570 includes abrader. Complies with ANSI/AAMI EC12/1991. Non-sterile, single-use. ## 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. ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

These electrodes include a pressure sensitive adhesive foam tape which hold the conductive elements of the electrode in place on the patient's skin for short or long term ECG procedures. Intended Use: The 3M Red Dot™ 2560 & 2570 Monitoring Electrodes are intended for use in ECG Monitoring. The 2560 and 2570 electrodes can be used in all ECG applications where standard ECG monitoring electrodes are used. These electrodes can be used for short term and long term (up to 5 Days) monitoring. Safety and Efficacy: Biocompatibility Testing: The biological safety of the Red Dot™ 2560 and 2570 Monitoring Electrodes has been assured through the selection of materials which demonstrate appropriate levels of biocompatibility. Tests were selected on the basis of Part-1 of ISO 10993-1, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices". Performance Testing: The electrical performance of the 3M Red Dot™ 2560 and 2570 Monitoring Electrodes meets the voluntary standard requirements under ANSI/AAMI EC12/1991, for Disposable ECG Electrodes. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-c%E2%80%94cardiovascular-monitoring-devices/DRX/K970796](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-c%E2%80%94cardiovascular-monitoring-devices/DRX/K970796) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
