Device Classification

Product Code QDA Electrocardiograph Software For Over-the-counter Use
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 870.2345
Definition An Electrocardiograph Software Device For Over-the-counter Use Creates, Analyzes, And Displays Electrocardiograph Data, And Can Provide Information For Identifying Cardiac Arrhythmias. This Device Is Not Intended To Provide A Diagnosis.
What this classification means

Class II devices require demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. Clinical trial data may be submitted as supporting evidence to strengthen the substantial equivalence argument. Most Cardiovascular devices follow this clearance model.
