The Medical Device Amendments of 1976
The Medical Device Amendments of 1976 to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) established three regulatory classes for medical devices.
The three classes are based on the degree of control necessary to assure that the various types of devices are safe and effective. The most regulated devices are in Class III.
The amendments define a Class III device as one that supports or sustains human life or is of substantial importance in preventing impairment of human health or presents a potential, unreasonable risk of illness or injury

Cardiac Pacing
Current Pacing Therapies
Biventricular Pacing (CRT) consists of:
A pacemaker generator (#1)
A right atrial pacing wire (#2)
A right ventricular pacer wire (#3)
And a coronary sinus (LV) pacing wire (#4).

ICD Devices
An ICD is a specialized device designed to directly treat a cardiac tachydysrhythmia.
If a patient has a ventricular ICD and the device senses a ventricular rate that exceeds the programmed threshold, the device may elect to perform antitachycardia pacing or defibrillation.
With antitachycardia pacing, the device fires a preset number of rapid pulses in succession in an attempt to terminate the ventricular tachycardia. If unsuccessful or if the rate falls in the preprogrammed cut of rate, the device will perform a cardioversion/defibrillation.

510k Approval Process
Premarket Notification: The 510(k) Process
In order to be eligible for 510(k) clearance, the new device must exhibit roughly the same safety and effectiveness characteristics as the “predicate” device to which the new one is being compared. An example of technological advancement under this
process was marketing clearance of lasers for “cutting or ablation” of tissues when compared with a heated wire cautery device.
Some Premarket Notification submissions are based upon bench testing of the new device and a comparison of the findings with the known performance characteristics of the predicate device. An example would be for TENS units (Transdermal
Electrical Nerve Stimulation).
The FDA 510K Approval Process
Product Name: Medtronic® InSync® Biventricular Cardiac Pacing System Includes the InSync® Model
8040 Pulse Generator and leads (Attain™LV Model 2187 and CS Model 2188).
Manufacturer: Medtronic, Inc.Address: 710 Medtronic Parkway, Minneapolis, MN 55432
Approval Date: August 28, 2001
InSync®System (Medtronic)
The InSync®System is used to help treat congestive heart failure, a condition where the heart can not adequately pump blood around the body. It does this by providing specially timed electrical impulses to simultaneously stimulate the heart's lower chambers (right and left ventricles).
The system consists of a pulse generator (containing a battery and electronic circuitry) connected to three leads (insulated wires) that deliver electrical impulses to stimulate the heart. One lead is placed in an upper heart chamber (right atrium) and the two other leads are placed in each of the ventricles.
Exempted Medical Devices
Some medical devices are sufficiently well-known—and their safety and effectiveness are sufficiently well characterized and established—that they require no premarket review by the FDA/CDRH.
They are still subject to a general regulations that require proper labeling, manufacture, and investigation of adverse events.
As of the end of calendar year 2008, FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health had exempted about 800 devices. The vast majority are designated as Class I devices, and a small number are Class II.
An Investigational Device exemption (IDE)
Allows the investigational device to be used in a clinical study in order to collect safety and effectiveness data required to support a Premarket Approval (PMA) application or a Premarket Notification [510(k)] submission to FDA.
All clinical evaluations of investigational devices, unless exempt, must have an approved IDE before the clinical study is initiated.
An approved IDE permits a device to be shipped lawfully for the purpose of conducting investigations of the device without complying with other requirements of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that would apply to devices in commercial distribution
IDE Institutional Review Boards (IRB)
An IRB is an appropriately constituted group that has been formally designated to review and monitor biomedical research involving human subjects.
An IRB has the authority to approve, require modifications in (to secure approval), or disapprove research. This group review serves an important role in the protection of the rights, safety and welfare of human research subjects.
If an IRB determines that an investigation involves a significant risk device, it must notify the investigator and, if appropriate, the sponsor. The sponsor may not begin the investigation until approved by FDA.
Premarket Approval (PMA) Process
The PMA process is based on a per se demonstration of safety and effectiveness through “adequate and well-controlled” clinical trials. A successful PMA submission results in approval of the new device.
Premarket approval (PMA) is the FDA's process of scientific and regulatory review to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Class III medical devices.
Class III devices are those that support or sustain human life, are of substantial importance in preventing impairment of human health, or which present a potential, unreasonable risk of illness or injury, or are new and present unknown safety or effectiveness issues or risks.
Premarket Approval (PMA) Application
An approved Premarket Approval Application (PMA) -- like an approved New Drug Application (NDA) -- is, in effect, a private license granted to the applicant for marketing a particular medical device.
A Class III device that fails to meet PMA requirements is considered to be adulterated under Section 501(f) of the act and cannot be marketed.
Premarket approval requirements apply differently to preamendments devices, post amendments devices, and transitional Class III devices.
PMA Review Process
The review of a premarket approval application (PMA) is a four-step review process consisting of:
Administrative and limited scientific review by FDA staff to determine completeness (filing review);
An in-depth scientific, regulatory, and Quality System review by appropriate FDA personnel;
A review and recommendation by the appropriate advisory committee (panel review); and
Final deliberations, documentation, and notification of the FDA decision.

Cardiac pacing system with improved physiological event classification and heart monitoring based on DSP
Abstract
There is provided an implantable cardiac pacing system or other cardiac monitoring system having an enhanced capability to classify intracardiac signals through a combination of DSP techniques and software algorithms. The implantable device has one or more DSP channels corresponding to different signals which are being monitored. Each DSP channel most preferably amplifies the incoming signal, converts the signal from analog to digital form, digitally filters the converted signals to provide a filtered signal, operates on the filtered signal to provide a slope signal, determines from the filtered and slope signals when an intracardiac event has been detected, signal processes the filtered and slope signals for a predetermined analysis interval after threshold crossing, and generates a plurality of wave parameters corresponding to the signal. The generated wave parameters are further operated on by a programmable algorithm to classify the detected event based upon DSP-generated parameters, and then monitor or detect the onset, development or presence of an undesired heart condition in a patient. The system may further provide for the delivery of treatment, storage of intracardiac data, or provision of a warning to a patient or physician in response to the detection of such a heart condition.
