The BIOMONITOR III/BIOMONITOR IIIm is indicated to detect the following cardiac arrhythmias: - · atrial fibrillation - bradycardia - sudden rate drop - · high ventricular rate (HVR) - asystole The BIOMONITOR 111/BIOMONITOR Illm is indicated for use in: - · Patients with clinical syndromes or situations at increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias - · Patients who experience transient symptoms that may suggest a cardiac arrhythmia The device has not been tested for and it is not intended for pediatric use.
Device Description
BIOMONITOR III and BIOMONITOR IIIm are programmable, subcutaneous insertable cardiac monitors able to record subcutaneous ECGs (sECGs) and other physiological parameters. The BIOMONITOR III and BIOMONITOR IIIm are designed to automatically record the occurrence of arrhythmias in a patient. Arrhythmia may be classified as atrial fibrillation (AF), bradyarrhythmia, asystole, sudden rate drop, or high ventricular rate. In addition, the BIOMONITOR III and BIOMONITOR IIIm can be activated by the patient using the Remote Assistant III to record cardiac rhythm during symptomatic episodes. BIOMONITOR III and BIOMONITOR IIIm may be used with the current legally marketed BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring® technology, which is an automatic, wireless, remote monitoring system for management of patients with implantable cardiac monitors.
More Information

No
The document describes automatic arrhythmia detection based on sECG analysis but does not mention AI, ML, or any related technologies. The performance studies focus on temperature sensor accuracy and general device functionality, not on the performance of an AI/ML algorithm for arrhythmia detection.

No.
The device is indicated to detect cardiac arrhythmias and is described as an insertable cardiac monitor, indicating a diagnostic rather than therapeutic function.

Yes
The device is indicated to detect various cardiac arrhythmias and record sECGs, automatically identifying abnormalities, which are diagnostic functions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the BIOMONITOR III and BIOMONITOR IIIm are "programmable, subcutaneous insertable cardiac monitors able to record subcutaneous ECGs (sECGs) and other physiological parameters." This indicates a physical, implantable hardware component, not a software-only device. The validation and verification testing also includes hardware-related tests like temperature sensor performance.

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 outside the body.
  • Device Description: The BIOMONITOR III/BIOMONITOR IIIm is described as a "programmable, subcutaneous insertable cardiac monitor." This means it is implanted inside the body.
  • Input: The device records "subcutaneous ECGs (sECGs)," which are electrical signals from the heart measured from under the skin. This is an in vivo measurement, not an in vitro test on a sample.

Therefore, the BIOMONITOR III/BIOMONITOR IIIm is an implantable medical device that monitors physiological signals within the body, not an in vitro diagnostic device that tests samples outside the body.

7. Non-Clinical Performance Data

The following performance data are provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination:

7.1 Validation and Verification Testing:

The BIOMONITOR III and BIOMONITOR IIIm have undergone thorough validation and verification testing to ensure final device functionality. The following categories of tests were performed and passed:

  • Verification Testing for BIOMONITOR III and BIOMONITOR IIIm Temperature Sensor .

7.2 Animal Testing:

Performance of the temperature sensor was validated in swine for detection of fever to a measurement accuracy of within 0.1℃ when compared to a clinical reference

8. Clinical Performance Data

No clinical performance data was submitted or relied upon in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

9. Conclusion

The subject BIOMONITOR III/BIOMONITOR IIIm devices and predicate BIOMONITOR III/BIOMONITOR IIIm devices are identical. They have the same principle of operation and identical physical device characteristics as well as software features and functionality. The enabling of the temperature sensor for data transmission introduces no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Additionally, the hardware design remains unchanged. These aspects of equivalence are confirmed by testing provided within the application.

Therefore, the BIOMONITOR III/BIOMONITOR IIIm were determined to be substantially equivalent to the primary predicate devices.
