## Indications for Use

The BSC Removable Patient Leads ECG Cable is used to transmit signals from patient-connected electrodes or transducers to electrocardiograph recorders/monitors for both diagnostic and monitoring purposes. ECG cables are supplied non-sterile and are not sterilizable; they are reusable devices and are recommended to be used by trained operators in a medical environment. Use is limited by the indications for use of the connected monitoring or diagnostic equipment.

## Device Story

The Removable Patient Leads ECG Cable (Model 6750) is a passive accessory used to transmit electrical ECG signals from patient-affixed electrodes to an external Boston Scientific programming system or ECG monitor. The device consists of five leadwires with patient clips that connect to electrodes on the patient's chest wall and extremities, and a trunk cable that connects to the monitor via a 6-pin DIN AAMI connector. It is a reusable, non-sterile device intended for use by trained clinicians in medical environments. The cable facilitates the display of ECG data on a monitor, assisting healthcare providers in diagnostic and monitoring tasks. It does not perform signal processing or analysis; it serves solely as a physical conduit for electrical signals.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance data included electromagnetic compatibility, electrical safety, and biocompatibility testing to support substantial equivalence.

## Technological Characteristics

Passive ECG cable; 5 leadwires; 6-pin DIN AAMI connector; 120-inch trunk cable; 40-inch leadwires. Materials: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Santoprene, Elastollan. Complies with ANSI/AAMI/IEC 60601-2-27 for leadwire colors. Non-sterile, non-sterilizable, reusable. No software or active electronic components.

## Regulatory Identification

A patient transducer and electrode cable (including connector) is an electrical conductor used to transmit signals from, or power or excitation signals to, patient-connected electrodes or transducers.

Dear Ms. Klamerus:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); 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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm 1 15809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to
