Quality assurance measures included requirements specification reviews, code inspections, software/hardware evaluation, safety testing, environmental testing, and final validation. Compliance with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-25, IEC 60601-2-27, ECS53, EC38, and UL 2601-1 standards confirmed.

Technological Characteristics

PC-based electrocardiograph; USB hardware module interface; 3-, 6-, or 12-lead ECG and vector cardiogram acquisition. Features electrical isolation via DC/DC converter and optocoupler. Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-25, IEC 60601-2-27, ECS53, EC38, and UL 2601-1. Software adapted for Windows OS. No energy delivered to patient.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by trained operators to acquire, process, record, archive, and display 3-, 6-, or 12-lead ECG and vector cardiograms for patients requiring cardiac activity monitoring. Used by or on the order of a physician to assist in diagnosing cardiac abnormalities, determining response to drug therapy, and revealing changes in heart function.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An electrocardiograph is a device used to process the electrical signal transmitted through two or more electrocardiograph electrodes and to produce a visual display of the electrical signal produced by the heart.

### 510(K) SUMMARY

510(K) SUMMARY

1.214

The CardioSoft PC ECG is intended for use in acquiring,
processing, recording, archiving and displaying
electrocardiographic information. It can provide serial

electrocardiographic information. It can provide serial comparison of ECG information to facilitate review of current and previous records and is intended for use by trained operators. The system offers no diagnostic opinion to the user, but may be used by a physician to render his or her own medical opinion.

The CardioSoft PC ECG is an electrocardiograph that Device Description: detects signals associated with cardiac activity and produces an ECG graphical record. The device operates on a personal computer through a USB hardware module. The device can acquire, process, record, archive and display 3-, 6-, or 12-lead ECG and vector cardiograms. The device provides portable ECG with important advantages compared to traditional machines.

> The system requires a USB connection and Windows® operating system and is intended for use by trained operators. It is intended for use by or on the order of a physician or other qualified health care professional.

ECGs are routinely used to diagnose cardiac abnormalities, determine response todrug therapy, and reveal changes in heart function. The ECG record data may be utilized only by a qualified healthcare professional for review and interpretation when based upon patient history, medical examination, and other clinical findings.

Technology:

Intended Use /

Indications for Use

The CardioSoft PC ECG employs the same functional technology as the predicate device. The only differences are technological improvements made with respect to

{2}------------------------------------------------

#### 510(K) SUMMARY

USB interface, greater frequency response, and use with current Windows® operating systems.

Both devices utilize preamplifiers to collect electrocardiographic information from skin electrodes. The preamplifiers provide electrical isolation of the patient and the device. There are differences in two components that provide electrical isolation. The proposed device uses a different isolation DC/DC converter (made by Recom) and optocoupler (made by Hewlett Packard) than the predicate device. The proposed device utilizes an integrated USB module and provides improved frequency response. Both devices are in compliance with electromagnetic compatibility conformance and electrical and thermal safety compliance by the applicable standards. No energy is delivery to the patient. The enhancements have no effect on safety or performance.

The software processes of the predicate device have been fully preserved in the proposed device and have been adapted for use with the latest versions of the Windows® operating system. Generated data is identical, however the proposed device allows the user to more aptly configure screen display and printer output to a desired format. The enhancements have no effect on safety or performance.

#### 510(K) SUMMARY

Performance:

The FDA has not established performance standards for this device. A listing of voluntary or consensus standards is provided in SECTION O - APPENDIX: Attach 5 -CARDIOSOFT PC ECG (USB version) STANDARDS TEST REPORT.

Non-clinical testing has been performed demonstrating equivalence with the predicate device CARDIAX and the results show similar performance with this device. Conformance to the product development procedures and plans have been assured by the application of system tests, design reviews, and product verification and validation testing performed prior to product release.

The following quality assurance measures were applied to the development of the CardioSoft PC ECG :

- Requirements specification reviews o
- Code inspections o
- Software and hardware evaluation and testing 0
- Safety testing o
- Environment testing 0
- Final validation O

Conclusion:

The CardioSoft PC ECG is an upgrade modification to the predicate device CARDIAX of like design and manufacture. This premarket notification submission demonstrates that the CardioSoft PC ECG is substantially equivalent because this device has the same basic intended use and the differences in technological characteristics do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The CardioSoft PC ECG is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device.
