Decision SESE
Submission Type Traditional
Regulation 21 CFR 870.2300
Device Class Class 2
Indications for Use
The Presym TrCG (Tracheocardiogram) is a non-invasive device intended to measure acceleration (displacement over time2) of the trachea. The trachea is mechanically linked to the heart and therefore its movement is directly related to that of the heart. The TrCG displays are shown with the patient's ECG (electrocardiograph) and presented for the physician's consideration. There are no set alarms or preset force limits.
Device Story
Presym TrCG measures tracheal acceleration via neck-worn motion sensor; sensor connects to belt pack unit. System utilizes Nasiff Associates Cardio-Card Management System II for signal acquisition/display. Device displays TrCG waveform alongside ECG for physician review. No automated alarms or force limits. Used in clinical settings to provide cardiac-related motion data to assist physician decision-making. Non-sterile device.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Device complies with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 standards. Internal performance testing conducted per company procedures.
Technological Characteristics
Non-invasive tracheal motion sensor (neck collar); belt pack unit; PC-based signal acquisition/display. Connectivity via integration with Nasiff Cardio-Card Management System II. Non-sterile. Complies with IEC 60601-1 (safety) and IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC).
Indications for Use
Indicated for non-invasive measurement of tracheal acceleration to monitor cardiac-related movement in patients. Used in conjunction with ECG for physician review. No specific patient population, age, or gender restrictions stated. No contraindications listed.
Regulatory Classification
Identification A cardiac monitor (including cardiotachometer and rate alarm) is a device used to measure the heart rate from an analog signal produced by an electrocardiograph, vectorcardiograph, or blood pressure monitor. This device may sound an alarm when the heart rate falls outside preset upper and lower limits.

### 510(k) Summary
This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is submitted in accordance with the requirements of 21 CFR 807.92©
The assigned 510(k) number is: K063735 Name and Address of Applicant: Presym, Inc. 15 Twelve Oaks Drive Pleasanton, CA 94588-8210 Primary Contact: Tamim Hamid 510-714-0525 Preparation Date: July 17, 2007 Trade Name: Presym Tracheocardiogram System (TrCG) Common Name: Cardiac Monitor Product Code: DRT Predicate Devices: Vital Science Quantascope Model 103 Respironics Actiheart VivoMetrics Lifeshirt Nasiff Cardio-Card Management Stystem II Description of new device:
The Presym TrCG is a non-invasive device intended to measure acceleration (displacement over time2) of the trachea.
A tracheal motion sensor is implemented as a neck collar worn by the patient, connected electronically to a TrCG/ECG belt pack unit. The belt pack and associated PC software for signal acquisition and display utilizes the Nasiff Associates Cardio-Card Management System II (K972795). The monitor displays the TrCG waveform alongside the patient's ECG.
The TrCG system is provided non-sterile.

## Intended Use / Indications for Use:
The Presym TrCG (Tracheocardiogram) is a non-invasive device intended to measure acceleration (displacement over time") of the trachea.
The trachea is mechanically linked to the heart and therefore its movement is directly related to that of the heart.
The TrCG displays are shown with the patient's ECG (electrocardiograph) and presented for the physician's consideration.
There are no set alarms or preset force limits.
## Technological characteristics and comparison to predicate devices:
The Presym TrCG device has the same technological features and characteristics as the predicate devices. The intended use of the predicate devices and the TrCG device is similar.
Each of the technological characteristics features found in the Presym TrCG device is similar or identical to the specified predicate devices. Therefore, Presym, Inc. believes the claim of substantial equivalence to the commercially available predicate devices and the Presym TrCG device to be consistent with the 510(k) regulatory paradigm.
#### Performance / test data:
The Presym device complies with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 as verified by independent test facilities. The TrCG device passed internal performance testing per internal company procedures.
## Conclusions:
The Presym TrCG device has the same intended use as the predicate devices. The TrCG device also includes similar or identical technical features and characteristics as the predicate devices. Performance testing and validation exercises have produced results consistent with design input requirements. Therefore, the Presym TrCG device does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.

Dear Mr. Hamid:
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
