The description focuses on automatic detection of arrhythmias based on predefined classifications (bradyarrhythmia, asystole, high ventricular rate) and does not mention any learning or adaptive algorithms. The performance study describes a comparison to a gold standard (expert-annotated Holter) but doesn't indicate the device itself is learning from data.
No.
The device is described as aiding in the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias and monitoring the patient's ECG for arrhythmia occurrence, rather than providing therapy or treatment.
Yes
The device is described as aiding in the "diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias" and continuously monitors the patient's ECG to automatically record and classify arrhythmias.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "small, leadless, implantable device" that uses "three electrodes on the body of the device," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.
Based on the provided information, the BioMonitor is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- BioMonitor's Function: The BioMonitor is an implantable device that continuously monitors the patient's subcutaneous ECG in vivo (within the living body). It records electrical signals directly from the patient's heart activity, not from a specimen taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to aid in the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias by monitoring and recording ECG data within the patient.
Therefore, the BioMonitor falls under the category of an implantable medical device used for physiological monitoring and diagnosis, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Device Description
The BioMonitor is a small, leadless, implantable device that uses three electrodes on the body of the device to continuously monitor the patient's subcutaneous ECG. The BioMonitor is designed to automatically record the occurrence of arrhythmias in a patient. Arrhythmia may be classified as bradyarrhythmia, asystole, or high ventricular rate. The device memory can store up to 13.3 min of ECG recordings from automatically detected arrhythmias and up to 22.5 min of ECG recordings from patienttriggered episodes. When a patient experiences symptoms, the ECG recordings can be manually triggered by placing a magnet over the BioMonitor. The BioMonitor is intended to aid in the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias in patients that may otherwise qo undetected.

Fifty (50) participants with suspected paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation who had been implanted with a BioMonitor were additionally equipped with an external Holter ECG recorder. Of these 50 participants, 27 showed at least one true AF episode during the two-day Holter period. A total of 131 AF episodes were annotated for 2132.9 hours of Holter ECG data.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Clinical Study: In order to evaluate BioMonitor AF detection performance, clinical data was collected in a single-center, prospective, nonrandomized study. Fifty (50) participants with suspected paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation who had been implanted with a BioMonitor were additionally equipped with an external Holter ECG recorder. Of these 50 participants, 27 showed at least one true AF episode during the two-day Holter period. A total of 131 AF episodes were annotated for 2132.9 hours of Holter ECG data.
Key results:
False positive AF episodes (i.e. non-AF periods falsely detected as AF by BioMonitor), resulting in positive predictive values less than 100%, were predominately associated with episodes of ectopic beats.
False negative AF episodes (i.e. true AF episodes undetected by BioMonitor), resulting in sensitivity values less than 100%, were mainly attributed to R-R interval variability that did not exceed the BioMonitor-programmed limit of 12.5% for a sufficient fraction of intervals. All of these FN patients had AF documented by the BioMonitor in another episode and were thus identified as AF positive patients.

Performance Data:
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
Software Verification and Validation Testing
Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" in a separate submission. The software for this device was considered as a "major" level of concern, since a failure or latent flaw in the software could directly result in serious injury or death to the patient or operator.
Atrial Fibrillation Feature Testing
AF Feature validation testing was completed by a functional software test to confirm that the BioMonitor
detects atrial fibrillation. The device must detect the following episodes and store them in the Holter memory:
- •All AF sequences exceeding the programmed confirmation time and the stability limit of adjacent QRS intervals appear as an entry in the Holter memory.
5
•Episodes which did not exceed the programmed stability limit or confirmation time do not appear in the Holter memory.
•AF detections or terminations are inhibited during the presence of noise resulting in:
•Complete inhibition of AF detection
- ·Shortening of AF episode due to noise in the beginning of the episode
•Prolonging of AF episode due to noise in the end of the episode.
MR Conditional Testing
BIOTRONIK conducted validation testing according to the Joint Working Group's International Technical Specification for ISO/TS 10974: 2012 (E). The following tests were performed:
·Gradient Induced Heating
·Vibration
·Static Malfunction
•Gradient Radiated Malfunction
•Vibration Malfunction
Clinical Study
In order to evaluate BioMonitor AF detection performance, clinical data was collected in a single-center, prospective, nonrandomized study. The ability of BioMonitor to detect episodes of AF was quantified in comparison with the gold standard, expert-annotated, external Holter ECG recorder. Fifty (50) participants with suspected paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation who had been implanted with a BioMonitor were additionally equipped with an external Holter ECG recorder. Of these 50 participants, 27 showed at least one true AF episode during the two-day Holter period. A total of 131 AF episodes were annotated for 2132.9 hours of Holter ECG data.
False positive AF episodes (i.e. non-AF periods falsely detected as AF by BioMonitor), resulting in positive predictive values less than 100%, were predominately associated with episodes of ectopic beats.
False negative AF episodes (i.e. true AF episodes undetected by BioMonitor), resulting in sensitivity values less than 100%, were mainly attributed to R-R interval variability that did not exceed the BioMonitor-programmed limit of 12.5% for a sufficient fraction of intervals. All of these FN patients had AF documented by the BioMonitor in another episode and were thus identified as AF positive patients. Table 1 summarizes the mean episode sensitivity and a mean episode PPV.
| Sensitivity (%) ± SD | PPV (%) ± SD |
|---|---|
| 94 ± 14.7 | 73.7 ± 40.3 |
Table 1: Mean BioMonitor AF Detection Performance Statistics
List of Applied Standards
The BioMonitor was tested in accordance with the following standards:
- ANSI/AAMI PC69: 2007 ●
- ASTM F2119-07 (2013)
- EN 45502-1: 1998 ●
6
- EN 45502-2-1: 2003 ●
- . IEC 60601-2-33
- ISO/TS 10974: 2012 ●
- ISO 14708-1
- ISO 14971: 2007
Conclusion:
BIOTRONIK considers the BioMonitor implantable cardiac monitor to be substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices through the data and information presented. No safety or effectiveness issues were identified.
