Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
The EKG Transmitter Model 5134 is a Class 3 Cardiovascular device designed for transmitting electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) signals wirelessly. It captures cardiac electrical activity from electrodes and converts it into a signal suitable for remote monitoring or recording, facilitating diagnostic assessment of heart function.
This device is supplied as a reusable medical instrument and is regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K842051) with a decision of Substantially Equivalent. It operates within the scope of regulation 870.3610 and is intended for use in clinical settings where continuous or intermittent cardiac monitoring is required. No third-party review was involved in its clearance process.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
Is the EKG Transmitter Model 5134 designed for single-use or can it be reused in clinical settings?
The EKG Transmitter Model 5134 is explicitly described as a reusable medical instrument. This classification aligns with its regulatory submission as a Class 3 Cardiovascular device, where durability and repeated use are implied for clinical monitoring applications. Reusability is common for wireless transmitters in settings requiring continuous or intermittent cardiac monitoring, as it reduces costs and waste while maintaining reliability.
What types of cardiac monitoring scenarios is the EKG Transmitter Model 5134 intended for, and how does it facilitate diagnostics?
The device is designed for clinical settings where continuous or intermittent cardiac monitoring is required. It captures cardiac electrical activity from electrodes and wirelessly transmits the electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) signals for remote monitoring or recording. This enables diagnostic assessment of heart function by allowing healthcare providers to analyze rhythm, rate, and potential abnormalities without direct physical connection to the patient, improving patient mobility and convenience.
How is the EKG Transmitter Model 5134 regulated, and what does its FDA clearance status mean for its use?
The EKG Transmitter Model 5134 is regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K842051) with a decision of *Substantially Equivalent* to a predicate device. This means the FDA determined it has the same intended use and technological characteristics as a previously cleared device, ensuring it meets safety and effectiveness standards for Class 3 Cardiovascular devices. Its clearance under regulation 870.3610 confirms compliance with FDA requirements for wireless ECG transmitters, allowing its use in clinical environments for cardiac monitoring.
What should I consider when storing the EKG Transmitter Model 5134 to maintain its performance and sterility?
While the device is reusable, its storage requirements are not explicitly detailed in the provided data. For reusable medical devices, best practices typically include clean, dry environments protected from dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Since it is not described as sterile (as it is reusable), routine cleaning and disinfection protocols per manufacturer guidelines would be essential to prevent contamination between uses. Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for specific storage and maintenance procedures.
