The BioHarness 3.0 is a physiological monitoring telemetry device intended for monitoring of adults in the home, workplace and alternate care settings. The device consists of a chest strap and an electronics module that attaches to the strap. The device stores and transmits vital sign data including ECG, heart rate, respiration rate, body orientation and activity. The BioHarness 3.0 provides a facility to detect and transmit single lead ECG signals to be received by Bluetooth / USB qualified ECG instruments.
The BioHarness 3.0 collects and transmits measurements captured during both sedentary as well as rigorous activity for Heart Rate, Posture and Activity. Breathing rate values are accurately transmitted only during sedentary periods.
The BioHarness 3.0 is indicated for use as a general patient monitor to provide physiological information as part of an occupational welfare monitoring system, for general research and performance measurement purposes, or where prescribed by a healthcare professional.
The intended use of the BioHarness 3.0 is to provide a facility in the home, workplace and alternate care settings for detecting, storing and transmitting Adult - single lead ECG data to third party ECG instruments for interpretation by qualified persons. The BioHarness 3.0 stores over 140 hours of ECG signals for transmission via USB or real time Bluetooth. The scientific concept on which this device is based is the principle that low level electrical pulses from the heart are measurable of the surface of the skin. This device functions by capturing these electrical pulses via electrodes and delivering these signals to sophisticated electronics for signal processing. The calibration is established by the factory and yields accurate and calibrated signals that can maintain calibration over its useful life.
The BioHarness 3.0, a cardiographic electrode transmitter is composed of:
- proprietary hardware and firmware, enclosed in
- a user case (puck) with a re-chargeable battery,
- various sensors embedded in a reusable chest harness, and
- ECG detection and transmission and.
- A cradle (to recharge battery and transfer internally stored date to an ancillary computer).
The BioHarness 3.0 is a physiological / cardiographic electrode transmitter manufactured by Zephyr Technology Corporation with reusable electrodes in a chest harness consisting of an electrode assembly, an elastic chest belt, and an electronics package containing a Bluetooth transmitter. The BioHarness 3.0 electrodes are positioned against the patient's skin with light pressure, using the elastic chest belt. The BioHarness 3.0 is designed to be used without electrolytic gels and without adhesives on unprepared skin: that is without the requirements for shaving, abrading, or other skin preparation. This device transmits ECG information to a compatible Bluetooth - enabled device. This transmitter is a class I Bluetooth radio with a range of approximately 100 meters (spherical range).
The provided text does not contain information about acceptance criteria, device performance, or any studies conducted to prove the device meets specific criteria. It primarily focuses on the 510(k) summary, device description, indications for use, intended use, and substantial equivalence to predicate devices, as part of a regulatory submission to the FDA.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table and study details. The document states that "A series of factory tests are conducted to verify the intended signals are accurate and can maintain a calibrated energy pattern over its useful life" and mentions that the device "has been tested to confirm safety and efficacy," but provides no specific data, methodologies, or results from these tests.
§ 870.1025 Arrhythmia detector and alarm (including ST-segment measurement and alarm).
(a)
Identification. The arrhythmia detector and alarm device monitors an electrocardiogram and is designed to produce a visible or audible signal or alarm when atrial or ventricular arrhythmia, such as premature contraction or ventricular fibrillation, occurs.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Arrhythmia Detector and Alarm” will serve as the special control. See § 870.1 for the availability of this guidance document.
