Adjunctive Predictive Cardiovascular Indicator
Cardiovascular
The Adjunctive Predictive Cardiovascular Indicator is a prescription software device that uses algorithms to analyze cardiovascular vital signs and predict future cardiovascular status or events, intended for adjunctive use alongside other physical vital sign parameters and patient information, and not designed to independently direct therapy. It is classified as a Class 2 device under regulation 870.2210, requiring 510(k) premarket notification, and falls within the Cardiovascular (CV) medical specialty. The product code is QAQ. It is not an implant and is not life-sustaining.
510(k) Clearances
5 matchesWhat is a Predicate Device?
A predicate device is a legally marketed device that a new 510(k) applicant uses to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The FDA's 510(k) pathway requires manufacturers to show that their device has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as one or more predicate devices already cleared for commercial distribution.
Finding the right predicate is a critical step in 510(k) strategy. Manufacturers typically search for cleared devices with the same FDA product code, which groups devices by their intended use and regulatory classification. This tool helps you identify potential predicates by browsing all clearances within a product code.
Note that predicate devices must be legally marketed — they cannot be devices that were cleared but never commercialized, or devices subject to a mandatory recall. The determination of substantial equivalence considers intended use, technological characteristics, and performance data.
