The AVIVO™ Mobile Patient Management (MPM) System is intended to continuously measure, record and periodically transmit physiological data. The AVIVOTM MPM System is indicated for patients:
- · With fluid management problems
- · Taking diuretic medication
- · Living with heart failure
- · Living with end-stage renal disease
- Suffering from recurrent dehydration
- Who require monitoring for the detection of non-lethal cardiac arrhythmias such as, but not limited to, supraventricular tachycardias (e.g. atrial florillation, atrial flutter, paroxysmal SVTs), ventricular ectopy, bradyarthythmias and conduction disorders.
The AVIVO™ MPM System monitors, derives and displays:
- · ECG
- · Heart Rate (including HR variability)
- · Activity
- Posture
- · Respiration Rate (including RR variability)
- · Body Fluid Status
The system has not been tested specifically for pediatric use.
The AVIVO™ MPM System is a wearable, wireless physiological monitoring and arrhythmia detection system that is used by patients to aid clinicians in the identification, diagnosis and management of various clinical conditions, events and/or trends. It consists primarily of the Wearable Sensor (monitoring device) and the Transmitter (portable data transmission device). In combination with interpretation services provided by Medtronic Monitoring, Inc.'s Monitoring Center, as well as secure online review of data by healthcare providers, the AVIVO™ MPM System enables patient- and physician-friendly physiological monitoring and arrhythmia detection for extended periods of time.
The AVIVO™ MPM System is comprised of the following non-sterile components:
- The Wearable Sensor, which adheres to the patient's torso, contains electrodes and ● sensors for recording patient information.
- . The Transmitter, which is the patient hand-held transceiver, receives information from the Wearable Sensor and transmits it to the Medtronic Server.
- . The secure Server, which receives information from the Wearable Sensor via the Transmitter, and among other things, derives, calculates and displays the patient's physiological parameters using the data collected by the Wearable Sensor.
This 510(k) summary explicitly states that it is a "Special 510(k): Device Modification." This means the submission is for a modification to an already cleared device (the predicate AVIVO™ MPM cleared in K113187). Therefore, the provided document does not contain new, comprehensive clinical study details with acceptance criteria and performance data for the entire device as if it were a de novo submission. Instead, the focus is on demonstrating that the modifications made do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness and that the device remains substantially equivalent to its predicate.
As such, many of the requested details about specific acceptance criteria and a single, overarching study proving performance are not directly available in this document. The document refers to "testing for this change already provided in K133701" or "N/A – no clinical testing required for this modification," indicating that the performance data for the core functions were established in previous submissions.
However, I can extract information related to the demonstration of substantial equivalence for the modifications described:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document does not present a single table detailing acceptance criteria for specific performance metrics of the device itself (e.g., arrhythmia detection sensitivity/specificity) and corresponding reported performance from a new study. Instead, it summarises the types of testing done or referenced for the modifications and states their successful completion to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
| Section Description | Acceptance Criteria Implied (Based on standards/guidances referenced) | Reported Device Performance (Summary statement from document) |
|---|---|---|
| Sterilization and Shelf Life | Compliance with relevant standards and validated processes. | "N/A – no changes... related to this modification" for Mod 1 & 3. "Testing for this change already provided in K133701" for Mod 2. Implies existing predicate met criteria. |
| Biocompatibility | Compliance with ISO 10993 standards (e.g., cytotoxicity, irritation, skin sensitization). | "N/A – no changes... related to this modification" for Mod 1 & 3. "Although there were no changes to the patient-contacting materials related to this modification, biocompatibility testing was repeated" for Mod 2. Implies successful completion of repeated testing for Mod 2, and existing predicate met criteria for Mod 1 & 3. |
| Software | Compliance with IEC 62304 and FDA guidance for software. | "Testing for this modification already provided in K113372" for Mod 1. "Testing for this modification already provided in K133701 and results provided in K133701" for Mod 2. "Discussed in the Software Section" for Mod 3. Implies previous demonstrations for Mod 1 & 2, and details provided for Mod 3. |
| EMC Testing | Compliance with IEC 60601-1-2 (Electromagnetic compatibility). | "N/A – no EMC changes..." for Mod 1 & 3. "Testing for this modification already provided in K133701" for Mod 2. Implies existing predicate met criteria. |
| Performance Testing – Bench, Mechanical, Electrical | Compliance with relevant electrical safety (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11), specific device standards (ANSI/AAMI/IEC 60601-2-47, AAMI/ANSI EC 12, AAMI/ANSI EC 57). | "N/A – no mechanical or electrical changes..." for Mod 1 & 3. "Testing for this change already provided in K133701" for Mod 2. Implies existing predicate met criteria. |
| Performance Testing – Animal | Demonstrating functionality and safety in an animal model (if applicable). | "N/A – no animal testing required for this modification" for all modifications. Implies no new animal testing was deemed necessary for these specific modifications. |
| Performance Testing – Clinical | Demonstrating safety and effectiveness in human subjects (if applicable). | "N/A – no clinical testing required for this modification" for all modifications. Implies no new clinical testing was deemed necessary for these specific modifications based on substantial equivalence. |
| Cybersecurity | Compliance with FDA guidance on Medical Device Cybersecurity. | "N/A - no cybersecurity changes..." for Mod 1 & 2. "Discussed in the Cybersecurity Section for details" for Mod 3. Implies existing predicate met criteria for Mod 1 & 2, and details provided for Mod 3. |
| RF & Wireless Technology | Compliance with relevant RF exposure and wireless communication standards. | "N/A – no RF & Wireless changes..." for Mod 1 & 3. "Note: following this submission, the Transmitter's cellular technology was updated. As such, RF Technology is discussed in the RF & Wireless Technology Section" for Mod 2. Implies existing predicate met criteria for Mod 1 & 3, and specific discussion for Mod 2. |
| System Validation Testing | Device functions as expected and meets user needs and intended use. | "System validation testing was also successfully completed to demonstrate that the modified AVIVO™ MPM System functions as expected and that the system meets user needs and intended use." |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
The document explicitly states "N/A – no clinical testing required for this modification" for all modifications described. Therefore, no new clinical test set with specific sample sizes or data provenance (country, retrospective/prospective) is detailed in this submission for the modified device. The original clearance (K113187) would contain such details for the predicate device.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):
As no new clinical testing was reported as required for these modifications, this information is not available in the provided document.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
As no new clinical testing was reported as required for these modifications, this information is not available in the provided document.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
The AVIVO™ MPM System is described as a "wearable, wireless physiological monitoring and arrhythmia detection system" and focuses on collecting and transmitting data for clinicians to review. It does not appear to be an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that aids human readers in interpreting images or complex signals, as would typically be the subject of a MRMC study. No MRMC study is mentioned.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:
The device's core function is to "continuously measure, record and periodically transmit physiological data" and to "derive, calculate and display the patient's physiological parameters." The "arrhythmia detection" is an algorithmic output. The document references "AAMI/ANSI EC 57: Testing and reporting performance results of cardiac rhythm and ST-segment measurement algorithms." This standard typically outlines methodologies for validating the performance of such algorithms in a standalone manner. While a specific study report isn't included here, the adherence to this standard for the predicate device implies standalone algorithmic testing was conducted and proven.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
For arrhythmia detection, the AAMI/ANSI EC 57 standard generally requires comparing algorithmic detections against human expert review (e.g., experienced cardiologists or electrophysiologists) of the ECG traces, often with adjudicated consensus to establish ground truth. For other physiological parameters like heart rate, respiration rate, and activity, ground truth would typically be established by simultaneously recorded gold-standard measurement devices. The document does not provide specifics for this submission as it refers to previous clearances.
8. The sample size for the training set:
The document does not detail any new training sets or their sample sizes for the modifications described, as it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared device. Information on the training set for the original arrhythmia detection algorithms would be in the predicate device's 510(k) submission.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Similar to point 8, this information is not provided in this specific 510(k) summary as it pertains to modifications rather than a de novo clearance. For the predicate device's algorithms, ground truth for training data would typically be established by expert annotation of physiological data (e.g., ECGs) for arrhythmias, or concurrent measurements from gold-standard devices for other parameters.

Conclusion
Medtronic has demonstrated that the AVIVO™ MPM System, as described in this submission, results in a substantially equivalent device because the fundamental scientific technology, operating principles and intended use are unchanged from the predicate devices. Summary data has been provided to demonstrate reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the A VIVO™ MPM System and to demonstrate substantial equivalence to its predicates. As supported by the descriptive information, verification, validation and standards testing, the modified AVIVO™ MPM System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
