Intended Use
The Reveal LINQ ICM is an insertable automatically-activated monitoring system that records subcutaneous ECG and is indicated in the following cases: - patients with clinical syndromes or situations at increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias - patients who experience transient symptoms such as dizziness, palpitation, syncope, and chest pain that may suggest a cardiac arrhythmia
Device Description
The Reveal LINQ Model LNQ11 Insertable Cardiac Monitors (ICM) is designed to automatically record the occurrence of arrhythmias in a patient. Arrhythmia may be classified as atrial tachyarrhythmia/atrial fibrillation (AT/AF), bradyarrhythmia, pause, or (fast) ventricular tachyarrhythmia. The Reveal LINQ ICM provides storage of ECG and Marker Channel during patient-activated and automatically-detected (auto-activated) events. Auto activation may help to detect abnormal heart rhythms in patients who may not activate/trigger the ICM. The Reveal LINO ICM Model LNO11 is a small. leadless device that is typically implanted under the skin, in the chest. Two electrodes on the body of the device continuously monitor the patient's subcutaneous ECG.

No
The description focuses on automatic detection of arrhythmias based on ECG analysis, but does not mention AI or ML algorithms. The performance studies describe verification and validation testing of technological differences, not the training or testing of an AI/ML model.

No.
The device is a monitoring system and does not provide therapeutic treatment for cardiac arrhythmias.

Yes
Explanation: The device is described as an "insertable automatically-activated monitoring system that records subcutaneous ECG" and is indicated for patients with symptoms or situations suggesting cardiac arrhythmias. It "records the occurrence of arrhythmias" and stores ECG data during detected events, all of which are functions of a diagnostic device that identifies medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "small, leadless device that is typically implanted under the skin, in the chest" and has "Two electrodes on the body of the device". This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Reveal LINQ ICM is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Reveal LINQ ICM Function: The Reveal LINQ ICM is an insertable device that records subcutaneous ECG directly from the patient's body. It monitors electrical activity of the heart in vivo (within the living organism), not in vitro (in a test tube or lab setting).

Therefore, the Reveal LINQ ICM falls under the category of an implantable medical device for monitoring physiological signals, not an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Technological differences between the subject and predicate devices have been evaluated with device verification and system validation testing. The objective evidence from the verification and validation testing confirm that the change adequately mitigates incorrect rejection parameter settings.
The modifications to the subject device were verified and validated through design verification and validation activities. All design verification and design validation activities were completed successfully and demonstrated there was no adverse impact to the functioning of the modified Reveal LINQ ICM device.
The results of the above verification and validation testing met the specified acceptance criteria and did not raise new safety or performance issues.

Dear Andrea Artman:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

Device Description

The Reveal LINQ Model LNQ11 Insertable Cardiac Monitors (ICM) is designed to automatically record the occurrence of arrhythmias in a patient. Arrhythmia may be classified as atrial tachyarrhythmia/atrial fibrillation (AT/AF), bradyarrhythmia, pause, or (fast) ventricular tachyarrhythmia. The Reveal LINQ ICM provides storage of ECG and Marker Channel during

patient-activated and automatically-detected (auto-activated) events. Auto activation may help to detect abnormal heart rhythms in patients who may not activate/trigger the ICM.

The Reveal LINO ICM Model LNO11 is a small. leadless device that is typically implanted under the skin, in the chest. Two electrodes on the body of the device continuously monitor the patient's subcutaneous ECG.

Indications for Use

There are no changes to the Indications for Use as a result of this submission. The Indications for Use are provided below:

The Reveal LINQ ICM is an insertable automatically-activated and patient-activated monitoring system that records subcutaneous ECG and is indicated in the following cases:

  • patients with clinical syndromes or situations at increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias ●
  • patients who experience transient symptoms such as dizziness, palpitation, syncope, ● and chest pain that may suggest a cardiac arrhythmia

The device has not been tested specifically for pediatric use.

Technological Characteristics

Intended use, design, materials, performance and technological characteristics are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices referenced.

When compared to the predicate device (K162855), the modified Reveal LINQ Insertable Cardiac Monitor presented in this submission has the same:

  • Intended use/indications for use
  • Operating principle
  • Design features ●
  • Device functionality
  • Biological safety ●
  • Packaging materials
  • Shelf life

The modified Reveal LINQ ICM device differs from the predicate in that the modified device contains added RAMware to ensure the detection parameters are appropriately configured after a partial electrical reset.

Substantial Equivalence and Summary of Studies

Technological differences between the subject and predicate devices have been evaluated with device verification and system validation testing. The objective evidence from the verification and validation testing confirm that the change adequately mitigates incorrect rejection parameter settings.

5

The modified Reveal LINQ Insertable Cardiac Monitor is substantially equivalent to the specified predicate device based on comparisons of the device functionality, technological characteristics, and indications for use. The modifications to the subject device were verified and validated through design verification and validation activities. All design verification and design validation activities were completed successfully and demonstrated there was no adverse impact to the functioning of the modified Reveal LINQ ICM device.

Conclusion

The results of the above verification and validation testing met the specified acceptance criteria and did not raise new safety or performance issues. Therefore, the modifications made to the Reveal LINQ Insertable Cardiac Monitor described in this submission result in a device that is substantially equivalent to the predicate.
