EXHIBIT I - NEW EVENT RECORDER WITHOUT LCD SPECIFICATION
([****] REPLACEMENT)
1.0 SCOPE
This document is intended to define the market requirements for a next
generation Philips Event Recorder targeted at the low cost market segment. The
device is not to have an LCD and provide similar functionality as the [****]
with ER 800 platform technology - I channel recording, with and without
algorithm, basic feature set. It is designed to be a low end offering along with
an updated [****] with LCD full-featured model. The Low Cost ER will be cased in
the [****] case (without LCD) and will be offered with the updated LCD model to
Philips customers. The Low Cost ER will replace the [****] device. This document
is to define the market requirements for an ECG measurement device to be used by
the patient in the home. The device will automatically send the ECG data file
via RF to another device in the house. The cost of the device is a primary
consideration. Cost goal does not include accessories (manuals, cases, lead set,
or batteries) but these designs are to be equally cost effective. Utilize parts
from the [****] and [****] programs if they are compatible with the design
concepts of this ER. Likely candidates may be patient cables, battery doors,
belt clips, necklaces, program plugs, etc.
2. APPLICABLE DEVICE REQUIREMENTS: THE DEVICE WILL MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF
THE FOLLOWING:
2.1. ANSI/AAMI EC38-1998
2.2. FDA 510K
2.3. Medical Device Directive
2.4. FDA QSR
2.5. EN60601-1-1 Safety
2.6. EN60601-1-2 Emissions & Immunity
2.7. EN606601-2-47
3. DEVICE DESIGN
3.1. The [****] is a low cost design intended to incorporate the BASIC
features and functions of the ER800 series device with the following
requirements of this document. The device will not incorporate lead
loss or two channel recording.
