Introduction 

The medical device is a Personal device for CARDiac activity (PCARD), named and referenced as 

SAVVY in the remainder of the document. The SAVVY medical device constitutes from a as Savvy 

sensor, charger, charging dock and mobile application (MobECG). The core of the system is a 

small and light (21g) Savvy sensor, fixed to the skin using standard self-adhesive electrodes. The 

Savvy sensor measures the user's differential ECG between two proximal electrodes on the 

distance of approx. 8,5 cm. The moderate resolution ECG is suitable for long-term personal 

cardiac activity monitoring during every-day or sport activities, and for clinical use. With a single 

charge of the built-in battery, the Savvy sensor can run continuously for up to seven days and 

at least 14 days in stand-by mode. The SAVVY sensor can be recharged using a charging dock 

station that comes with it. The measurements from the Savvy sensor are transferred through a 

build-in  low  power  Bluetooth  BT4.0  radio  to  the  mobile  application  on  a  personal  digital 

assistant (PDA), i.e. smartphone or tablet, which provides storage and graphical presentation 

of the measurements. User can be a healthy person, person under screening or a patient. The 

usage  of  the  MD  is  not  limited  by  age,  sex,  body  weight  or  height  and  other  personal 

characteristics.  
A Patient can generate ECG REPORT on mobile device in PDF format, which can be printed out 

or sent by e-mail to the patient Doctor for further diagnose.

Terms and conditions 

 

1.    Manufacturer  and  distributor  Saving  d.o.o.,  Finžgarjeva  4,  Ljubljana,  has,  with  the 

participation  of  the  Jozef  Stefan  Institute  in  Ljubljana,  developed  the  device  with  the 

commercial designation Savvy, in accordance with technical data which is an integral part of the 

user manual of the device. 

 

In accordance with Directive 93/42/EEC on medical devices with a valid amendment, Directive 

2007/47/EEC, the developed device is intended to monitor cardiac activity in everyday life, and 

accordingly with the introductory Directives classified as an active non-invasive medical device 

labeled IIa. 

 

Medical  device  Savvy  is  intended  for  daily individual  use  of  potential  buyer,  user,  for  heart 

activity monitoring through a single-channel recording of ECG. 
 

Medical device is not intended for a treatment and is not a diagnostic tool in accordance with 

the rules of the medical profession, as it is stated in the second paragraph of this document 

(Directive 

EEC). 

 

In the event that the user feels uncomfortable with regard to cardiac function, he must urgently 

seek medical assistance, regardless of the conditions shown by the medical device Savvy. 

 

2.  Medical device Savvy cannot function independently. It is directly wirelessly connected to a 

smartphone or tablet, provided it is in the immediate vicinity. Measured conditions of cardiac 

activity are transmitted to the memory unit with the specific program.
