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), bradvarrhythmia, 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 a standard insertable cardiac monitor that detects arrhythmias based on predefined criteria. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any learning algorithms used for detection or analysis. The performance studies focus on hardware changes and functionality verification, not on the performance of an AI/ML model.

No.
The device is indicated to detect cardiac arrhythmias, not to treat them. Its function is to record and monitor, not to provide therapy.

Yes
The device is indicated to "detect" and "record the occurrence of arrhythmias," which are processes of identifying a medical condition.

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," indicating a hardware component that is inserted into the patient. The summary also mentions "Verification Testing for BIOMONITOR III and BIOMONITOR IIIm hardware changes."

No, 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.
  • Device Function: The BIOMONITOR III/BIOMONITOR IIIm is an insertable cardiac monitor that records subcutaneous ECGs (sECGs) and other physiological parameters directly from within the patient's body. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to detect cardiac arrhythmias by monitoring electrical activity within the body, not by analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the BIOMONITOR III/BIOMONITOR IIIm falls under the category of an implantable medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Dear Jon Brumbaugh:

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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.

Table 1. Comparison of Updated BIOMONITOR III, BIOMONITOR IIIm and Predicate, BIOMONITOR III

Several device hardware changes were implemented with this Special 510(k). These changes are being made to optimize manufacturing and prepare for further automation of the manufacturing process. The effect on determination of substantial equivalence was minimal as there was no associated change to intended use, indications for use, or fundamental technology and no additional questions regarding safety or effectiveness.

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 hardware changes

8. Clinical Performance Data

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

9. Conclusion

BIOTRONIK concludes that the BIOMONITOR III and BIOMONITOR IIIm with hardware changes are substantially equivalent to BIOTRONIK's predicate BIOMONITOR III and BIOMONITOR IIIm. The subject devices and predicate devices have the same principle of operation and physical device characteristics as well as software features and functionality and there are no new issues of safety or effectiveness. The hardware design is adapted from the predicate with minor component changes. These aspects of equivalence are confirmed by testing provided within the application.
