Yes
The summary explicitly mentions and describes the "PPG-based Irregular Pulse Monitor algorithm" and its performance evaluation using sensitivity and specificity metrics against a reference standard (Holter ECG). While the terms "AI" or "ML" are not explicitly used, the description of an "algorithm" that processes physiological data (PPG) to identify irregular pulses (like AF) and its evaluation using performance metrics common in ML/algorithmic validation strongly suggests the use of an algorithmic approach, likely involving ML, for pattern recognition in the PPG data. The clinical study description further reinforces this by detailing the application of this algorithm to test data.
Yes
The device is described as "a miniaturized physiological data monitoring device that is intended to record, store, transfer and display single-channel electrocardiogram (ECG) rhythms" and to "notify the user in the event of irregular pulse, such as atrial fibrillation (AF)". It is used by patients "who have been diagnosed with, or are susceptible to developing, atrial fibrillation enabling them to monitor and record their heart rhythms." This indicates a medical purpose to monitor a medical condition and help in its management, thus qualifying it as a therapeutic device.
Yes
The device is intended to monitor and record heart rhythms, notify users of irregular pulses like atrial fibrillation, and recommend ECG acquisition. While the ECG waveforms are viewed by a healthcare professional (HCP) and the web portal for HCPs does not include analysis features, the core function of identifying and alerting to irregular heart rhythms (e.g., atrial fibrillation) directly relates to identifying a health condition, which is a diagnostic purpose. The performance metrics provided (sensitivity and specificity) further reinforce its role in identifying a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly states that the "Study Watch consists of the wearable watch and band, the Study Hub (used to transfer data from the watch to the cloud), a Cradle, and the web portal." This indicates the device includes significant hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device function: The Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor collects physiological data directly from the patient's body (ECG and PPG rhythms) through external sensors. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to monitor and record heart rhythms and notify the user of irregular pulses. While this information can be used by a healthcare professional for diagnosis, the device itself is not performing an in vitro diagnostic test.
The device is a medical device that provides physiological monitoring data, which can be used in conjunction with other clinical information by a healthcare professional for diagnostic purposes.

Device Description
The Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor is a miniaturized physiological data monitoring device that is intended to record, store, transfer and display single-channel electrocardiogram (ECG) rhythms. The Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor is intended to notify the user in the event of irregular pulse, such as atrial fibrillation (AF), and recommend acquisition of an ECG. The device utilizes a band and proprietary watch that incorporates two dedicated sensing electrodes to obtain a single-channel ECG measurement. In practice, a healthcare professional (HCP) may prescribe the Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor to a patient and recommend the capture and transmission of one or more ECG rhythms on a daily basis for analysis by the HCP. The patient uses prompts provided on the graphical user interface (GUI) of the watch to collect a realtime 60-second ECG measurement. The patient is able to capture an ECG rhythm on-demand by navigation to the ECG menu, in response to a daily ECG reminder, or upon receipt of an irregular pulse notification. While an animated ECG waveform is briefly displayed on the GUI of the watch, the patient will not have direct access to the collected wave form.
Using the provided charging dock (Cradle) and Verily's Study Hub device, the ECG measurements are securely transferred to Verily's cloud server and are viewed by the HCP using a web portal. The web portal is solely intended for use by the HCP to view time-stamped ECG waveforms collected by the patient and does not include any analysis features. Collectively, the Study Watch consists of the wearable watch and band, the Study Hub (used to transfer data from the watch to the cloud), a Cradle, and the web portal.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Clinical performance testing was conducted to demonstrate that Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor generates data that meet the clinical requirements for irregular pulse monitoring in target patients. Specifically, the primary clinical study collected Study Watch PPG waveform (Test) data in clinic from patients with a history of AF and applied the PPG-based Irregular Pulse Monitor algorithm, using contemporaneous Holter ECG (Reference) data as ground truth. The presented data include the primary endpoints [per-interval sensitivity 0.85 (0.79-0.90) and specificity 0.96 (0.93-0.99)] showing that the PPG-based Irregular Pulse Monitor algorithm exceeds the pre-specified per-interval performance thresholds for sensitivity and specificity for continuous monitoring. This study demonstrates that the Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor is substantially equivalent to primary predicate Study Watch (K182456) and secondary predicate FibriCheck (K173872) and substantially equivalent to the predicate device for the specified intended use.

The differences in technological characteristics associated with the proposed device in comparison to the primary predicate (K182456) and secondary predicate (K173872) have been evaluated through performance testing for target population and there are no new questions of safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
Non-Clinical Performance Data
Performance Testing Bench
Design validation and verification activities were performed for the Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor as a result of the risk analysis assessment and product requirements. Hardware verification completed for the Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor covers performance assessment for the PPG sensor, battery life and memory capacity.
The Firmware verification includes test cases for performance assessment associated with ECG feature per K182456 as well as performance associated with the Irregular Pulse Monitoring feature. Testing completed follows the same software verification approach for the FW as to what was provided in the predicate device Study Watch K182456.
Successfully completed bench performance testing demonstrates the Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor is substantially equivalent to the predicate device for the specified intended use.
Performance Testing Human Factors
The 510(k)-cleared Study Watch per K182456 underwent a human factors assessment demonstrating that the Study Watch is substantially equivalent to the predicate device for the specified intended use (for the ECG feature). This previously completed human factors assessment per K182456 is still applicable as there are no changes to user interface or how the ECG waveform is displayed. Additional human factors assessments were conducted to assess that the system as it relates to the Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor meets user needs and that the Instructions for Use (IFU) support the effective use of the system including specific risk management measures. Two formative studies assessed the instructions for two user groups: Study Watch users and Web Portal users (HCP) and demonstrate that IFU for the Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor can be well comprehended by users, supporting the effective use of the irregular pulse notification feature.
Clinical Performance Data
Clinical performance testing was conducted to demonstrate that Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor generates data that meet the clinical requirements for irregular pulse monitoring in target patients. Specifically, the primary clinical study collected Study Watch PPG waveform (Test) data in clinic from patients with a history of AF and applied the PPG-based Irregular Pulse Monitor algorithm, using contemporaneous Holter ECG (Reference) data as ground truth. The presented data include the primary endpoints [per-interval sensitivity 0.85 (0.79-0.90) and specificity 0.96 (0.93-0.99)] showing that the PPG-based Irregular Pulse Monitor algorithm exceeds the pre-specified per-interval performance thresholds for sensitivity and specificity for continuous monitoring. This study demonstrates that the Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor is substantially equivalent to primary predicate Study Watch (K182456) and secondary predicate FibriCheck (K173872) and substantially equivalent to the predicate device for the specified intended use.
Conclusion
In Summary, the comprehensive performance testing demonstrates that the Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor is substantially equivalent to the predicate device for the specified intended use. This testing in addition to the comprehensive comparison to the primary predicate Study Watch (K182456) and secondary predicate FibriCheck (K173872) demonstrate the Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor is substantially equivalent to the named predicate devices for the specified intended use.
