HeartSciences Receives FDA Confirmation for 510(k) Clearance Pathway
December 05 2023 - 8:00AM
Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a HeartSciences
(Nasdaq: HSCS; HSCSW) ("HeartSciences" or the "Company"),
an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered medical technology company
focused on transforming ECGs/EKGs to save lives through earlier
detection of heart disease, today announced that it has received
confirmation from the FDA to change the clearance pathway for its
MyoVista® wavECG™ device and associated AI-ECG algorithm to a more
standard 510(k) submission from the more complex De Novo process.
Andrew Simpson, Chief Executive Officer of
HeartSciences, said, "The new FDA product classification for AI-ECG
paves the way for a more structured and faster 510(k) process for
our MyoVista® device, as well as our industry leading library of
AI-ECG algorithms. We also intend to deliver these algorithms
using a cloud-based, hardware agnostic platform that will provide
innovative AI-ECG diagnosis from millions of existing ECG devices
around the world, in addition to our MyoVista® device.” Mr. Simpson
added, “The switch to 510(k) will require some changes, but we
believe it will result in faster clearance overall. In November,
the core lab finished their work on our MyoVista® pivotal study
following the conclusion of patient recruitment announced earlier
in 2023. We remain on track for submission of the MyoVista® to the
FDA in the first half of 2024 and a targeted clearance during
2024.”
