## Indications for Use

The intended use of the SEER Light Compact Digital Holter Recorder is to acquire ambulatory 2 or 3 channels of ECG signal from the chest surface of pediatric or adult patients for no longer than 24 hours. The device stores this data along with patient demographic information to on board flash memory. It does not perform any analysis on the ECG data. The SEER Light Compact Digital Holter Recorder is intended to be used under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner, by trained operators in a hospital or medical professional's facility.

## Device Story

SEER Light Compact Digital Holter Recorder acquires 2 or 3 channels of ECG signals from chest surface; stores data and patient demographics on 32MB on-board flash memory. Controller downloads patient info to recorder and verifies signal quality via isolated infra-red link at hookup. Post-recording, controller connects via cable to transfer data to standard compact flash memory card. Used in hospitals or medical facilities by trained operators under licensed practitioner supervision. Device performs no analysis; provides raw data for subsequent review.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Quality assurance measures included requirements specification review, code inspections, software/hardware testing, safety testing, environmental testing, and final validation.

## Technological Characteristics

Ambulatory 2 or 3-channel ECG recorder; 32MB on-board flash memory; infra-red communication for hookup; cable-based data transfer to compact flash card. No on-board ECG analysis. Complies with voluntary standards.

## Regulatory Identification

A medical magnetic tape recorder is a device used to record and play back signals from, for example, physiological amplifiers, signal conditioners, or computers.

## Predicate Devices

- Aria Digital Holter Recorder ([K001317](/device/K001317.md))

Trade Name: SEER Light Compact Digital Holter Recorder and Controller Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.2800 Regulation Name: Medical Magnetic Tape Recorder Regulatory Class: Class II (two) Product Code: MWJ Dated: August 23, 2002 Received: August 26, 2002

# Dear Ms. Michels:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
