Tempus ECG-Low EF is software intended to analyze resting, non-ambulatory 12-lead ECG recordings and detect signs associated with having a low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF less than or equal to 40%). It is for use on clinical diagnostic ECG recordings collected at a healthcare facility from patients 40 years of age or older at risk of heart failure. This population includes but is not limited to patients with atrial fibrillation, aortic stenosis, cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarction, diabetes, hypertension, mitral regurgitation, and ischemic heart disease. Tempus ECG-Low EF only analyzes ECG data and provides a binary output for interpretation. Tempus ECG-Low EF is not intended to be a stand-alone diagnostic tool for cardiac conditions, should not be used for patient monitoring, and should not be used on ECGs with paced rhythms. Results should be interpreted in conjunction with other diagnostic information, including the patient's original ECG recordings and other tests, as well as the patient's symptoms and clinical history. A positive result may suggest the need for further clinical evaluation in order to establish a diagnosis of low LVEF. Patients receiving a negative result should continue to be evaluated in accordance with current medical practice standards using all available clinical information.

Tempus ECG-Low EF is a cardiovascular machine learning software intended for analysis of 12-lead resting ECG recordings using machine-learning techniques to detect signs of cardiovascular conditions for further referral or diagnostic follow-up. The software employs machine learning techniques to analyze ECG recordings and detect signs associated with a patient experiencing low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), less than or equal to 40%. The device is designed to extract otherwise unavailable information from ECGs conducted under the standard of care, to help health care providers better identify patients who may be at risk for undiagnosed LVEF in order to evaluate them for further referral or diagnostic follow up. As input, the software takes data from a patient's 12-lead resting ECG (including age and sex). It is only compatible with ECG recordings collected using 'wet' Ag/AgCl electrodes with conductive gel/paste, and using FDA authorized 12-lead resting ECG machines manufactured by GE Medical Systems or Philips Medical Systems with a 500 Hz sampling rate. It checks the format and quality of the input data, analyzes the data via a trained and 'locked' machine-learning model to generate an uncalibrated risk score, converts the model results to a binary output (or reports that the input data are unclassifiable), and evaluates the uncalibrated risk score against pre-set operating points (thresholds) to produce a final result. Uncalibrated risk scores at or above the threshold are returned as 'Low LVEF Detected,' and uncalibrated risk scores below the threshold are returned as 'Low LVEF Not Detected.' This information is used to support clinical decision making regarding the need for further referral or diagnostic follow-up. Typical diagnostic follow-up could include transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) to detect previously undiagnosed LVEF, as described in device labeling. Results should not be used to direct any therapy against LVEF itself. Tempus ECG-Low EF is not intended to replace other diagnostic tests. Tempus ECG-Low EF does not have a dedicated user interface (UI). Input data comprising ECG tracings, tracing metadata (e.g., sample count, sample rate, patient age/sex), is provided to Tempus ECG-Low EF through standard communication protocols (e.g., file exchange) with other medical systems (e.g., electronic health record systems, hospital information systems, or other data display, transfer, storage, or format-conversion software). Results from Tempus ECG-Low EF are returned to users in an equivalent manner.

Tempus ECG-AF is intended for use to analyze recordings of 12-lead ECG devices and detect signs associated with a patient experiencing atrial fibrillation and/or atrial flutter (collectively referred to as AF) within the next 12 months. It is for use on resting 12-lead ECG recordings collected at a healthcare facility from patients: - · 65 years of age or older, - · without pre-existing or concurrent documentation of atrial fibrillation and/or atrial flutter, - · who do not have a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator, and - · who did not have cardiac surgery within the preceding 30 days. Performance of repeated testing of the same patient over time has not been evaluated and results SHOULD NOT be used for patient monitoring. Tempus ECG-AF only analyzes ECG data. Results should be interpreted in conjunction with other diagnostic information, including the patient's original ECG recordings and other tests, as well as the patient's symptoms and clinical history. Tempus ECG-AF is not for use in patients with a history of AF, unless the AF occurred after a cardiac surgery procedure and resolved within 30 days of the procedure. It is not for use to assess risk of occurrence of AF related to cardiac surgery. Results do not describe a person's overall risk of experiencing AF or serve as the sole basis for diagnosis of AF, and should not be used as the basis for treatment of AF. Results are not intended to rule out AF follow-up.

Tempus ECG-AF is a cardiovascular machine learning-based notification software intended to analyze recordings of 12-lead ECG devices from patients 65 years of age and older. The software employs machine learning techniques to analyze ECG recordings and detect signs associated with a patient experiencing atrial flutter (collectively referred to as AF) within the next 12 months. The device is designed to extract otherwise unavailable information from ECGs conducted under the standard of care, to help health care providers better identify patients who may be at risk for undiagnosed AF in order to evaluate them for referral of further diagnostic follow up and address the unmet need of reducing the number of undiagnosed AF patients. As input, the software takes data from a patient's 12-lead resting ECG (including age and sex). It is only compatible with ECG recordings collected using 'wet' Ag/AgCl electrodes with conductive gel/paste, and using FDA authorized 12-lead resting ECG machines manufactured by GE Medical Systems and Philips Medical Systems with a 500 Hz sampling rate. It checks the format and quality of the input data, analyzes the data via a trained and 'locked' machine-learning model to generate an uncalibrated risk score, converts the model results to a binary output (or reports that the input data are unclassifiable), and evaluates the uncalibrated risk score against pre-set operating points (thresholds) to produce a final result. Uncalibrated risk scores at or above the threshold are returned as 'increased risk' information; uncalibrated risk scores below the threshold are returned as 'no increased risk' information is used to support clinical decision making regarding the need for further referral or diagnostic follow-up. Typical diagnostic follow-up could include ambulatory ECG monitoring to detect previously undiagnosed AF, as described in device labeling. Results should not be used to direct any therapy aqainst AF itself, including anticoagulation therapy. Tempus ECG-AF does not have a dedicated user interface (UI). Input data comprising ECG tracing metadata (sample count, sample rate, etc.), patient age and patient sex, will be provided to Tempus ECG-AF through standard communication protocols (e.g. AP), file exchange) with other medical systems (e.g., electronic health record systems, hospital information systems, or other medical device data display, transfer, storage, or format-conversion software). Results from Tempus ECG-AF will be returned to users in an equivalent manner.
