Overview

AI-generated summary, 20 Sep 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

The Simpliscriptor EK 31/101 037 16 is an electrocardiograph, a Class 2 Cardiovascular device designed for recording electrical activity of the heart. It captures and displays the electrical impulses generated by the heart’s chambers, enabling clinicians to diagnose arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia, and other cardiac conditions. This device falls under the product code DPS and is classified under the regulatory category for electrocardiographic equipment. Its primary function is to provide real-time visualization of cardiac rhythms for diagnostic evaluation.

This device is supplied as a reusable medical instrument and is intended for use in clinical settings such as hospitals, cardiac care units, and physician offices. It requires proper maintenance and calibration to ensure accurate readings. The Simpliscriptor EK 31/101 037 16 was cleared through the FDA’s Traditional 510(k) pathway in 1983 under the Cardiovascular advisory committee, with a clearance decision dated October 31, 1983. No specific sterility or MRI safety information is provided in the available data, but adherence to manufacturer guidelines is essential for safe operation and longevity.

Questions

AI-generated answers, 20 Sep 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

  • Is the Simpliscriptor EK 31/101 037 16 designed for single-use or can it be reused in a clinical setting?

    The Simpliscriptor EK 31/101 037 16 is explicitly described as a reusable medical instrument. Since it is intended for use in clinical settings like hospitals and cardiac care units, proper maintenance and calibration are required to ensure accurate and reliable performance over multiple uses. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for cleaning, servicing, and storage to maintain its functionality.

  • What types of cardiac conditions can this electrocardiograph help diagnose, and how does it do so?

    The Simpliscriptor EK 31/101 037 16 is designed to record and display the heart’s electrical activity, enabling clinicians to diagnose conditions such as arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms) and myocardial ischemia (reduced blood flow to the heart muscle). By capturing real-time cardiac rhythms, it provides visual data for evaluating abnormal electrical patterns that may indicate these or other cardiac issues.

  • How is this device supplied, and what considerations should be made for its storage and maintenance?

    The Simpliscriptor EK 31/101 037 16 is supplied as a reusable electrocardiograph intended for clinical environments. Since it is not sterile (no sterility information is provided), it requires proper cleaning, calibration, and maintenance to ensure accurate readings. Storage should follow manufacturer recommendations to prevent damage, and regular servicing is essential for long-term reliability, especially in high-use settings like hospitals or cardiac care units.

  • What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance, and what does this mean for its use in clinical settings?

    The Simpliscriptor EK 31/101 037 16 was cleared through the FDA’s Traditional 510(k) pathway in 1983 under the Cardiovascular advisory committee, with a clearance decision dated October 31, 1983. This means the device was determined to be substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device at the time, allowing it to be legally marketed in the U.S. for its intended diagnostic use in electrocardiographic evaluations.
