- Test Set Sample Size: The document mentions "an adjudicated database" for performance validation testing but does not specify the sample size (number of patients or recordings) used for this test set.
- Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data. It states the testing was done on "retrospective 3-lead and 5-lead 24/48-hour Holter ECG recordings." This confirms the data was retrospective.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- The document states "Performance validation testing included comprehensive rhythm classification analyses on an adjudicated database." This implies that experts were involved in adjudication to establish ground truth. However, the number of experts used and their specific qualifications (e.g., radiologist with X years of experience) are not explicitly stated.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- The term "adjudicated database" is used, indicating that a formal process was followed to establish ground truth. However, the specific adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) is not explicitly described in the provided text.
-
If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
- No MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with and without AI assistance is mentioned. The study described focuses on the standalone performance of the algorithm against an adjudicated ground truth and user interface usability.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Yes, a standalone performance evaluation of the algorithm was conducted. The document states: "Performance validation testing included comprehensive rhythm classification analyses on an adjudicated database." This refers to the algorithm's performance independent of a human-in-the-loop scenario.

5.9 Intended Use/Indications for Use Comparison
ZBPro Diagnostic (K243252) and the Cardiologs Holter Platform (K212112) are both cloud-based ECG analysis platforms intended for retrospective review of ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings to assist qualified healthcare professionals in detecting and analyzing cardiac arrhythmias. Both systems support integration with external ECG acquisition devices and provide core analytical functions including QRS detection, rhythm classification, ectopic beat detection, and heart rate trend analysis.
The technological differences between ZBPro Diagnostic and its predicate are limited to algorithmic design and scope of use. These differences are mitigated through validated performance, labeling restrictions, and risk controls. ZBPro Diagnostic is substantially equivalent to the Cardiologs Holter Platform and raises no new questions of safety or effectiveness as compared to the predicate.
Both devices are intended for use by qualified healthcare professionals to detect and analyze common cardiac arrhythmias using retrospective ambulatory ECG data. The primary indication (arrhythmia assessment in Holter ECG recordings in adult patients) is identical in both devices, and both utilize well-established principles of signal processing, QRS detection, rhythm classification, and clinical data presentation.
The primary differences relate to patient population and recording source compatibility. ZBPro Diagnostic is limited to the adult, non-paced population, whereas Cardiologs includes pediatric and paced patient populations and accepts data from additional sources (e.g., event recorders, 12-lead ambulatory ECG). These differences reflect scope of validation rather than underlying technological capabilities and do not introduce new questions of safety or effectiveness. ZBPro's intended use is clearly delineated in its labeling and supported by clinical validation.
Both devices support electronic interfacing with other ECG systems and offer nearly identical functional capabilities, including ECG signal processing, ventricular ectopy detection, interval and heart rate analysis, and comprehensive rhythm interpretation. Neither system is intended for use in life-sustaining applications or real-time monitoring, and both clearly state that their results are to be used in conjunction with clinician oversight, not as a standalone diagnostic decision-maker.
While Cardiologs has broader input compatibility and population coverage, ZBPro maintains equivalence in intended use and analytical functionality. The observed differences are managed through labeling and intended use limitations. Therefore, these distinctions do not impact the substantial equivalence of the two systems in their shared core function to provide automated ECG interpretation support for adult Holter monitoring data.

ZBPro Diagnostic and the Cardiologs Holter Platform are both cloud-based ECG analysis systems designed to receive, process, and support clinician review of retrospective ambulatory ECG recordings. Both platforms provide secure, browser-accessible environments, RESTful API integration, and clinical tools for ECG visualization, annotation, and cardiologist confirmation.
The core technologies used by each platform are similar in functional intent but differ in algorithmic framework implementation. ZBPro Diagnostic processes standard-format Holter ECG files (MIT-BIH, EDF, ISHNE) acquired with validated lead configurations (Lead II, CM5 (Ch 1), or Modified-MLII (Ch 2+)).
From a technological architecture perspective, both systems:
a. Operate via secure, cloud-hosted infrastructure;
b. Offer browser-based access for clinical and technical users;
c. Use RESTful APIs for interoperability with EHRs, RPM systems, and diagnostic services;
d. Provide ECG editing tools, rhythm markup capabilities, and cardiologist review workflows.
ZBPro Diagnostic is currently validated for use in the Google Chrome browser, while Cardiologs offers broader cross-platform compatibility, including support for Safari and iOS environments. This distinction affects user workflow preferences but not the core diagnostic capabilities.
All observed differences are mitigated through ZBPro's labeling, risk controls, and software safeguards. The system's limited scope, focused on adult Holter patients using defined input vectors, does not rely on expanded device compatibility and is substantially equivalent.
In summary, while the two platforms differ in input generalization and architectural approach, these differences do not alter the shared fundamental technology purpose: ECG rhythm analysis for Holter monitoring. ZBPro Diagnostic achieves equivalent clinical functionality within its labeled scope and is therefore substantially equivalent in its technological characteristics to the predicate device.
