The SmartCardia 7L Platform is a prescribed device used for the purpose of identifying non-lethal arrhythmias. The SmartCardia 7L Platform is intended for continuous external electrocardiogram (ECG) information to support Holter Monitoring, Extended Holter Monitoring, and Outpatient Cardiac Telemetry (OCT) commonly called Mobile Cardiac Telemetry (MCT) monitoring. The SmartCardia 7L Platform is intended for: 1. Patients who experience transient symptoms that may suggest cardiac arrhythmia. 2. Patients who require monitoring of effect of drugs to control ventricular rate in various atrial arrhythmias (e.g. atrial fibrillation). 3. Patients with symptoms that may be due to cardiac arrhythmias. These may include but are not limited to symptoms such as: a) dizziness or lightheadedness; b) syncope of unknown etiology in which arrhythmias are suspected or need to be excluded; and c) dyspnea (shortness of breath). 4. Patients recovering from cardiac surgery or interventional procedures who are indicated for outpatient arrhythmia monitoring. 5. ECG data recorded by the device can be analyzed by other processing systems to provide Holter style reports Measurements include: electrocardiogram (ECG signal), R-R interval, Heart Rate. Notification alerts can be set for one or more of these measures. The SmartCardia 7L Platform is indicated for use on patients who are 18 years of age or older to provide monitoring of physiological information. It is intended for use in a physician office, outpatient facility, or in the patient's home. SmartCardia 7L Platform contraindications: 1. The SmartCardia 7L Platform is contraindicated for use for detection of hemodynamically unstable or life-threatening arrhythmias or cardiac events requiring urgent medical response. It is not intended for monitoring patients during cardiac rehabilitation outside of healthcare facilities. 2. The SmartCardia 7L Platform is contraindicated for use during external defibrillation.

The SmartCardia 7L Platform MCT is a body worn monitoring product that is designed with a disposable adhesive 7L Patch and reusable 7L Sensor. It is designed to be worn by the patient for up to 14 days. If longer monitoring is necessary, the 7L Patch is removed from the body, the 7L Sensor is removed from the worn 7L Patch which is discarded. The 7L Sensor is inserted into a new 7L Patch and the new assembly is placed on the patient for monitoring to continue. The 7L Sensor/7L Patch assembly communicates to the SmartCardia Phone via Bluetooth technology and shows the patient's heart rate and ECG on its display and allows the patient to input symptoms (Mark Event) which are shown in the patient record. The SmartCardia Phone has a medical grade mains powered charger and uses its cellular technology to act as a gateway to the SmartCardia Cloud Service provided by Amazon Web Services. The SmartCardia Phone is pre-configured by SmartCardia and placed in a kiosk mode. Data stored in the SmartCardia cloud can be viewed in the SmartCardia Web Browser application by a clinician or healthcare provider. The SmartCardia 7L Platform incorporates three modes of monitoring: 1. Holter Monitoring (up to 48 hours) and Extended Holter Monitoring (>48 hours and up to 14 days), 2. Event Monitoring (up to 48 hours, and >48 hours up to 14 days) 3. Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry (OCT) commonly called Mobile Cardiac Telemetry (MCT) (>48 hours up to 30 days when changing the 7L Patch) During any of the selected modes, a clinician or healthcare provider can use the SmartCardia Web Browser to view the continuously streaming patient's ECG. The SmartCardia 7L Platform provides alarm notifications for heart rate and atrial fibrillation. As stated in the Intended Use statement, the system is contraindicated for use in a critical care setting where an immediate response to life threatening conditions such as lethal arrhythmias is required. There are no alarm signals presented to the clinician for conditions other than heart rate and atrial fibrillation. The SmartCardia 7L Platform performs retrospective analysis and identifies events which it shows the clinician when they are reviewing historical data. The clinician must then review these events and determine if they are indeed valid and should be included in a physician's report. These events are things like "Ventricular Bigeminy', 'Supraventricular Couplet', etc. A full list is included in the Clinician Instructions for Use.
