No
The summary explicitly states that the software provides automated detection of beats and noise only, and that all other classifications, rhythms, and anomalies must be annotated by hand by the user. It also states that the automated detections must be verified and confirmed by the user. This indicates a rule-based or algorithmic approach for basic signal processing, not AI/ML for complex pattern recognition or interpretation.
No
The device is described as an ECG test solution for capturing and reporting ECG information for monitoring, not for therapeutic purposes like treating or preventing a disease.
No.
The text explicitly states multiple times that "The report does not contain diagnostic interpretation; the reported analysis is provided for review by the physician to render a diagnosis based on clinical judgment and experience." This indicates it provides data for diagnosis rather than performing the diagnosis itself.
No
The device description explicitly states the system is composed of two major components: (1) CardioSTAT® ECG Recorder and (2) ECG Analysis and Reporting Tool (EART). The CardioSTAT® ECG Recorder is described as a nonsterile, non-invasive, and single-patient-use recorder worn on the patient's torso, which is a hardware component.
Based on the provided information, the CardioSTAT ECG Test Solution is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- CardioSTAT's Function: The CardioSTAT ECG Test Solution collects electrical signals from the patient's body (ECG data) through electrodes placed on the skin. It does not analyze biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to capture and report ECG information for long-term ambulatory monitoring. While this information is used by a physician to render a diagnosis, the device itself is not performing a diagnostic test on a biological sample.
- Device Description: The description clearly states it's a system for continuous ambulatory collection of ECG data. The analysis and reporting tool processes this electrical data, not biological samples.
Therefore, the CardioSTAT ECG Test Solution falls under the category of a medical device that collects physiological data, but it does not meet the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A

Device Description
The CardioSTAT® ECG Test Solution is a complete by prescription-only system for continuous ambulatory collection of ECG single-channel data for up to 14 days, followed by analysis and reporting of collected data. The CardioSTAT® ECG Test Solution is composed of two major components: (1) CardioSTAT® ECG Recorder and (2) ECG Analysis and Reporting Tool (EART) .
The CardioSTAT® ECG Recorder (1) is a nonsterile, non-invasive, and single-patientuse recorder worn on the patient's torso that provides a continuous, single-channel, ECG recording for up to 14 days. The Recorder snaps onto two off-the-shelf FDAcleared long-term monitoring electrodes on which OFIX® adhesive tape is applied to ensure long-term adherence to the patient. After the prescribed recording duration, the device is taken off by the patient and mailed to the data analysis center for analysis where data is analyzed by Certified Cardiographic Technicians (CCT) using (2) ECG Analysis and Reporting Tool (EART). The EART is intended for use only by trained technicians. A clinical report is then sent to the physician. The report does not contain diagnostic interpretation; the reported analysis is provided for review by the physician to render a diagnosis based on clinical judgment and experience.
A home use kit (CardioSTAT® Home Application) is also offered which includes all required devices to allow for remote prescription and home application of the CardioSTAT® recorder. The included devices (surgical razor, alcohol prep pad, electrodes, OFIX® tape) outside of this submission are currently available on the market.
The CardioSTAT® device is not designed to record ECG signals suitable to identify ST segment shifts and the EART software is not designed to detect or measure ST segment shifts.
The ECG signal collected by the CardioSTAT® ECG Test Solution is not intended for automated analysis other than beat and noise detection.
The ECG signal collected by the CardioSTAT® ECG Test Solution is not intended for third party ECG analysis systems.
The CardioSTAT® recorder is not a real-time device and all clinical data is reviewed after the device has been returned to Icentia.
The CardioSTAT® ECG Test Solution software provides automated detection of beats and noise only. All other classifications, rhythms and anomalies must be annotated by hand by the user in the EART software. Detections of beats and noise must be verified and confirmed by the user, or manually corrected with their respective annotation tools.

5.5. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The CardioSTAT® ECG Test Solution is a complete by prescription-only system for continuous ambulatory collection of ECG single-channel data for up to 14 days, followed by analysis and reporting of collected data. The CardioSTAT® ECG Test Solution is composed of two major components: (1) CardioSTAT® ECG Recorder and (2) ECG Analysis and Reporting Tool (EART) .
The CardioSTAT® ECG Recorder (1) is a nonsterile, non-invasive, and single-patientuse recorder worn on the patient's torso that provides a continuous, single-channel, ECG recording for up to 14 days. The Recorder snaps onto two off-the-shelf FDAcleared long-term monitoring electrodes on which OFIX® adhesive tape is applied to ensure long-term adherence to the patient. After the prescribed recording duration, the device is taken off by the patient and mailed to the data analysis center for analysis where data is analyzed by Certified Cardiographic Technicians (CCT) using (2) ECG Analysis and Reporting Tool (EART). The EART is intended for use only by trained technicians. A clinical report is then sent to the physician. The report does not contain diagnostic interpretation; the reported analysis is provided for review by the physician to render a diagnosis based on clinical judgment and experience.
A home use kit (CardioSTAT® Home Application) is also offered which includes all required devices to allow for remote prescription and home application of the CardioSTAT® recorder. The included devices (surgical razor, alcohol prep pad, electrodes, OFIX® tape) outside of this submission are currently available on the market.
The CardioSTAT® device is not designed to record ECG signals suitable to identify ST segment shifts and the EART software is not designed to detect or measure ST segment shifts.
The ECG signal collected by the CardioSTAT® ECG Test Solution is not intended for automated analysis other than beat and noise detection.
The ECG signal collected by the CardioSTAT® ECG Test Solution is not intended for third party ECG analysis systems.
The CardioSTAT® recorder is not a real-time device and all clinical data is reviewed after the device has been returned to Icentia.
The CardioSTAT® ECG Test Solution software provides automated detection of beats and noise only. All other classifications, rhythms and anomalies must be annotated by hand by the user in the EART software. Detections of beats and noise must be verified and confirmed by the user, or manually corrected with their respective annotation tools.
COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE 5.6. DEVICE
5
The proposed (subject device) CardioSTAT® Electrocardiogram (ECG) Test Solution is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device 'Zio® SR ECG Monitoring Service (K143513 cleared on 06/19/2015)' with the reference device Carnation™ Ambulatory Monitor Model 3000 (CAM) (K143067 cleared on 12/22/2014) to support the difference in placement and the allowance for the option of user upload or manufacturer service, based on availability and user preference.
The predicate and reference devices are class II legally marketed devices as shown by the associated 510(k) numbers and clearance dates. All of the devices use the same main product code, DSH; Medical magnetic tape recorder. The subject device and the predicate use a secondary product code of DQK (Programmable diagnostic computer).
The regulation intended use covers the proposed and predicate devices. Comparison of the predicate device indications shows 6 main elements: (1) functionality, (2) duration, (3) demographics, (4) recording type, (5) reported metrics, and (6) report type. For the reference device, some of this information was not included in the indication statement so the relevant information was extracted from the IFU. brochure, and sample report to make the comparison.
All of the devices have the same primary technological characteristics. The CardioSTAT® ECG Test Solution is composed of two major components: (A) CardioSTAT® ECG Recorder and (B) ECG Analysis and Reporting Tool (EART) . Both the predicate (Zio Recorder & Zio ECG Utilization Service (ZEUS) and reference device (CAM & BDxCONNECT) have similar main components.
The main technological differences include:
- Separation of device and electrodes raise a question concerning electrode i. performance. Electrode performance is standardized (ANSI/AAMI EC12:2000 (R2015) Disposable ECG Electrodes) and all of these electrodes are compliant to the standard. The primary predicate (Zio) has integrated the two accessories of the subject device (OFIX® & 3M electrodes) and the reference device has taken integration of the devices further incorporating the battery into the electrode to create a "battrode", however the function and performance of the components remains equivalent based on compliance with standard requirements. This question of electrode performance applies to the new device and the predicate / reference devices equally and is thus not considered a different or new question of safety and efficacy.
- Electrode application in vertical and horizontal positions raises a question of ii. signal acquisition quality. The reference device is presented to support technological differences related to vertical placement. Clinical data in the form of literature and International Post Market Surveillance data is included in support of the horizontal application. This question of signal acquisition quality applies to the new device and the predicate / reference devices equally and is thus not considered a different or new question of safety and efficacy.
- iii. Report contents raise a question of whether the report includes all information required by the clinician for diagnosis. The full ECG signal data is made available to the Certified Cardiographic Technicians in all three devices. The clinical report of all three devices contain the specifically identified content by
6
the CCT. This question of report content applies to the new device and the predicate / reference devices equally and is thus not considered a different or new question of safety and efficacy.
The identified questions of safety and efficacy listed above apply to both the new device and the predicate/reference devices and so the new device does not raise different or new questions of safety and efficacy. Therefore, the proposed (subject device) CardioSTAT®Electrocardiogram (ECG) Test Solution meets substantial equivalence requirements with regards to the legally marketed predicate device Zio® SRECG Monitoring Service (K143513 cleared on 06/19/2015) and reference device Carnation™ Ambulatory Monitor Model 3000 (CAM) (K143067 cleared on 12/22/2014)
5.7. PERFORMANCE DATA
The CardioSTAT® ECG Test Solution has been designed and tested to comply with all applicable FDA Recognized Standards. There are no device-specific quidance documents, special controls, and/or requirements in the device-specific classification regulation regarding performance data that are applicable to the subject device. All necessary performance testing has been conducted to support determination of substantial equivalence.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a protocol was designed for mail-out devices and educational materials created to teach patients how to install the CardioSTAT® ECG recorder for 2 weeks of continuous ambulatory ECG monitoring. We compared data collection from two sequential patient populations; one who received standard device application in the same clinic in the months before the pandemic response, and another, who received their device by mail for self-installation at home in the VSL position. Patients received a single phone call when the device was mailed and were able to contact the manufacturer as needed for support. A total of 47 devices were assessed from each group. Each group was similar in age (70 vs 65 years), and clinical indication for monitoring. Overall, it was found that a mail-delivered home-based recording platform can be reliably used to acquire clinical data with similar data quality and patient compliance as a conventional in-clinic model for long term ambulatory ECG monitoring.

lcentia Post Market data from Canada and UK is compared to the study above. When prescribed for 14 days, CardioSTAT® ECG Test Solution wear time in post-market data from Canada and UK (33486 ECG tests) was 13.1 days (standard deviation of 1day and median of 13.9 days). Based on the Zio patch literature review and CardioSTAT® postmarket data, the CardioSTAT® ECG Test Solution wear time is shown to be equivalent to or longer than the Zio patch device.
CONCLUSION 5.8.
The CardioSTAT® ECG Test Solution is substantially equivalent to the predicate and reference devices.
