The summary describes the device as software that analyzes photoplethysmography (PG) data to detect heart rhythm conditions, specifically atrial fibrillation. While it performs analysis, there is no mention of AI, ML, DNN, or any related concepts in the provided text. The description of the clinical validation focuses on comparing the device's performance to a gold standard and a predicate device, without detailing the internal algorithms used for analysis.
No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats a disease or condition. This device is indicated for monitoring and recording heart rhythms, which is a diagnostic or monitoring function, not a therapeutic one.
Yes
FibriCheck is a diagnostic device because its "intended use" states it is for patients who want to "monitor and record their heart rhythms," specifically focusing on the "detection of atrial fibrillation," and the "device description" explicitly says it "can be used to determine heart rhythm conditions."
Yes
The device is explicitly described as "medical device software" and its components are a smartphone application and a web application. While it utilizes a smartphone's camera for data acquisition, the device itself is the software that processes and presents this data.
Based on the provided information, FibriCheck 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.
- FibriCheck's Mechanism: FibriCheck works by using photoplethysmography (PG) to measure volumetric changes in the fingertip. This is a non-invasive method that analyzes light absorption through the skin to detect changes in blood volume, which are related to heart rhythm. It does not involve analyzing samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for self-testing by patients to monitor and record heart rhythms, and for healthcare providers to consult this data. This is focused on physiological monitoring, not on analyzing biological samples.
Therefore, FibriCheck falls under the category of a medical device that performs physiological measurements, rather than an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
FibriCheck is indicated for self-testing by patients who have been diagnosed with, or are susceptible to developing, atrial fibrillation and who would like to monitor and record their heart rhythms on an intermittent basis.

The following non-clinical testings were conducted to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the subject device:
- Skin tone quality verification
- External aggressor verification
- Software verification
No concerns regarding new safety or effectiveness issues were raised during this testing.
Our clinical validation study NCT06282380 included 252 cardiology patients recruited in-clinic or consulting the cardiac outpatient clinic, with or without AF. The participants were instructed to record PPG measurements using the subject device which were compared against the gold-standard reference diagnosis. The performance metrics are in line with those reported for the predicate device, and did not raise concerns regarding the safety or effectiveness of the subject device.
The subject device and predicate device have intended use, the same key technological characteristics, and the same signalacquisition capabilities. In clinical testing the demonstrated that it is capable of irregular rhythm detection accuracy in line with the predicate device. Therefore, the subject device as safe and as effective as the predicate device.
