Intended Use

The Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications is a software-only mobile medical application that is intended to be used with compatible consumer wrist-worn products to analyze pulse rate data to identify episodes of irregular heart rhythms suggestive of atrial fibrillation (AFib) and provide a notification to the user.

The Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications is intended for over-the-counter (OTC) use. It is not intended to provide a notification on every episode of irregular rhythm suggestive of AFib and the absence of a notification is not intended to indicate no disease process is present; rather the Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications is intended to opportunistically surface a notification of possible AFib when sufficient data are available for analysis.

These data are only captured when the user's still. Along with the user's risk factors, the Fitbit irreqular Rhythm Notifications can be used to supplement the decision for AFib screening. The Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notfications is not intended to replace traditional methods of diagnosis or treatment.

The Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications has not been tested for use in people under 22 years of age. It is also not intended for use in individuals previously diagnosed with AFib.

Device Description

The Fitbit Irreqular Rhythm Notifications consists of an algorithm that classifies pulse rate data, and a mobile application run within the Fitbit app that serves as the user interface (UI) and device display.

The Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications leverages pulse rate data collected from compatible commercially available, general purpose wrist-worn products (e.g., smartwatch or fithess tracker). Photoplethysmograph (PPG) sensors consist of light-emitting diodes (LED) and photodiodes that detect changes in blood flow of a user's vasculature at any given moment. When the heart beats, it sends a pressure wave through the vasculature causing a blood flow increase. By monitoring the fluctuations the consumer wrist-worn products can measure pulse rate data. When the user is still the sensor detects when individual pulses reach the periphery (i.e., wrist) and measures beat-to-beat intervals.

If the analyzed data are consistent with signs of atrial fibrillation, a notification indicating that a heart rhythm showing signs suggestive of AFib will be displayed to the user. The Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications will only surface a notification of a heart rhythm showing signs of AFib once in a 24-hour period.

The Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications mobile app functions within the Fitbit consumer application and is run on a compatible, user-provided general purpose mobile computing product (e.g., smartphone or tablet). The Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications mobile app serves as the display/user interface for the Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications.

AI/ML Overview

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The provided document focuses on the substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than explicitly stating acceptance criteria as a numerical target. However, it details the performance metrics demonstrated by the clinical study to support this equivalence. The key performance metric reported is the Positive Predictive Value (PPV) for AFib detection.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Clinical performance supportive of substantial equivalence to predicate device.Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of 98.2% (97.5% LCB: 96.4%) in subjects with a positive algorithm detection.

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: 225 subjects received a positive algorithm detection and wore an ECG patch for comparison.
  • Data Provenance: The study recruited subjects from Fitbit's U.S. user population. The data is prospective, as users consented and were instructed to perform specific actions (schedule a telehealth visit, wear an ECG patch) following algorithm detection.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

The document states that "Data gathered from the ECG patch was analyzed by medical professionals to determine whether signs of AFib were present." It does not specify the exact number of experts or their detailed qualifications (e.g., "radiologist with 10 years of experience").

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not explicitly describe an adjudication method like 2+1 or 3+1. It states that "data gathered from the ECG patch was analyzed by medical professionals to determine whether signs of AFib were present," implying a single assessment or a consensus process not detailed.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was mentioned. The study focused on the standalone algorithm's performance against ECG ground truth, not on how human readers improve with or without AI assistance.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

Yes, a standalone performance study was conducted. The clinical study evaluated the Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications algorithm's ability to identify irregular heart rhythms suggestive of AFib. The reported PPV of 98.2% is a measure of this standalone algorithmic performance.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used for the test set was ECG patch data analyzed by medical professionals. This is a direct measure of cardiac electrical activity, considered a gold standard for AFib diagnosis.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not specify the sample size for the training set. It mentions that the clinical study "recruited subjects from Fitbit's U.S. user population, inviting them to participate in a study. Upon consent, users had their PPG data analyzed for signs consistent with AFib by the algorithm." This describes part of the clinical validation, but not the training process or the data used for it.

9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

The document does not provide details on how the ground truth for the training set was established. It only describes the ground truth establishment for the clinical validation test set (ECG patch data analyzed by medical professionals).

5. Device Description

Intended Use

The Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications feature is a medical device (SaMD). The Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications feature analyzes pulse rate data to identify heart rhythms that are consistent with atrial fibrillation (AFib) and if identified, provide a notification to the user.

Technological Characteristics

The Fitbit Irreqular Rhythm Notifications consists of an algorithm that classifies pulse rate data, and a mobile application run within the Fitbit app that serves as the user interface (UI) and device display.

The Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications leverages pulse rate data collected from compatible commercially available, general purpose wrist-worn products (e.g., smartwatch or fithess tracker). Photoplethysmograph (PPG) sensors consist of light-emitting diodes (LED) and photodiodes that detect changes in blood flow of a user's vasculature at any given moment. When the heart beats, it sends a pressure wave through the vasculature causing a blood flow increase. By monitoring the fluctuations the consumer wrist-worn products can measure pulse rate data. When the user is still the sensor detects when individual pulses reach the periphery (i.e., wrist) and measures beat-to-beat intervals.

If the analyzed data are consistent with signs of atrial fibrillation, a notification indicating that a heart rhythm showing signs suggestive of AFib will be displayed to the user. The Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications will only surface a notification of a heart rhythm showing signs of AFib once in a 24-hour period.

The Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications mobile app functions within the Fitbit consumer application and is run on a compatible, user-provided general purpose mobile computing product (e.g., smartphone or tablet). The Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications mobile app serves as the display/user interface for the Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications.

6. Performance Data

Testing verifying the performance requirements of the subject device was conducted and is included in this premarket notification, the results of which support substantial equivalence. A summary of the testing is included below:

Bench Testing/Non-Clinical Testing

The Fitbit Irreqular Rhythm Notifications utilizes signals derived from compatible consumer grade wrist-worn products. The wrist-worn products are qualified for use with the software to ensure that the data provided meet signal attribute and quality requirements necessary for heart rhythm analysis and to detect adequate PPG signal quality. Bench testing includes: product signal acquisition testing, aggressor testing for known challenge conditions potentially impacting the quality of PPG signal acquisition, and accuracy assessment of the inputs to the Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications that are derived from the wrist-worn products. Qualification testing is repeated for all qualified wrist-wearable products. The algorithm is tested to ensure that it accepts and rejects data correctly and that it correctly analyzes the input data.

Software Testing Summary

The Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications presents a "moderate" level of concern (LOC) as defined in FDA's Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (May 11, 2005) (Guidance Document). The software components consist of the Irregular Rhythm Notifications algorithm, which resides/runs on Fitbit servers, and the mobile app used for on-boarding, education and display of notification results. Testing supports that the algorithm analyzes pulse rate data and classifies it as having signs of AFib, having no signs of AFib, or unanalyzable. Testing of the mobile application demonstrates that the Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications mobile application adequately surfaces on-boarding/educational information, generates user notifications when the feature identifies an irregular rhythm suggestive of AFib, and facilitates viewing of that notification.

Human Factors Testing Summary

A human factors study was designed to evaluate the critical and noncritical tasks associated with the use of the device.

Human Factors Usability testing was performed using a simulated version of the Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications mobile app, representative of the final app. There were a total of 30 subjects distributed into two (2) user groups:

  • 15 active interest participants adult laypeople (22 years and older) with active . interest in AFib, defined as individuals who:
    • o Have concern regarding AFib and have an active interest in monitoring potential AFib, and

    • Do not have concern regarding AFib and do not have an active interest in O monitoring potential AFib. and
    • Might use the app due to casual or passing interest. o

The Human Factors Validation demonstrated that the Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications meets the special control requirements for human factors and usability testing that demonstrates the following:

a. The user can correctly use the device based solely on reading the device labeling.

b. The user can correctly interpret the device output and understand when to seek medical care.

Testing was also performed to assess consumers' ability to correctly self-select if the Irregular Rhythm Notifications app is intended for them. This testing involved 33 subjects, including both users for whom the app is intended, as well as persons outside the app's intended use population. The testing concluded that users can adequately self-select if the device is intended for them.

Clinical Testing Summary

A clinical study was conducted on the Fitbit Irreqular Rhythm Notifications algorithm. This study recruited subjects from Fitbit's U.S. user population, inviting them to participate in a study. Upon consent, users had their PPG data analyzed for signs consistent with AFib by the algorithm. The users whose data showed signs of AFib were then instructed to schedule a telehealth visit with a clinician. Subjects still meeting the inclusion criteria were then provided with an ECG patch and directed to simultaneously wear both the ECG patch and their Fitbit wrist-wearable, PPG-equipped product for seven (7) consecutive days and nights. Data gathered from the ECG patch was analyzed by medical professionals to determine whether signs of AFib were present and was compared to the corresponding Fitbit algorithm output.

In the 225 subjects who received a positive algorithm detection while wearing the ECG patch, the algorithm's positive predictive value (PPV) was 98.2% (97.5% LCB: 96.4%) and supports that the subject Fitbit Irreqular Rhythm Notifications is substantially equivalent to the predicate, Apple Inc. Irregular Rhythm Notification. A total of 2,094 adverse events were reported for 1,275 subjects. No adverse events reported were related to the Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications software. Most adverse events were identified as possible risks in the study protocol, namely skin irritation from wearing a Fitbit or ECG patch, stress or anxiety from participating in the study, new information or diagnosis as the result of being in the study and combinations of multiple events.

7. Conclusion

The Fitbit Irregular Heart Rhythm Notifications is as safe and effective as the Apple -Irregular Rhythm Notification. Additionally, minor technological differences between the Fitbit
