Indications for Use
The Actiheart is an ambulatory Heart Rate and Activity Recorder. Actiheart may be used to quantifiably measure Heart Rate, Activity, and estimates of Caloric Expenditure. This device is not intended for use as an ECG monitor.
Device Story
Actiheart is a compact, wearable, battery-operated physiological data recorder used in home or hospital environments. It captures ECG signals via standard chest-worn electrodes and motion data via an internal accelerometer. A differential amplifier senses and amplifies the ECG signal, while proprietary algorithms process the digitized signals to detect heart rate (BPM) and activity counts. Energy expenditure is derived from these inputs using proprietary software algorithms. Data is logged on-board and later transferred to a PC via a reader for display and export. The device features a rechargeable lithium battery and a green LED indicator for heart beats. It assists healthcare providers by providing quantifiable physiological data for clinical assessment. It is not an ECG monitor.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance validated against ANSI/AAMI EC13:2002 standards. Testing included tall T-wave rejection (sensitivity >98%, specificity 100%), and heart rate detection accuracy across multiple waveform libraries (MIT-BIH, European ST-T, AAMI Normal Sinus Rhythm) with sensitivity >99% and specificity >97-99%. Device performance was compared side-by-side with the predicate device using library recordings of known heart rates and simulated recordings. Results demonstrated comparable performance in heart rate measurement, range, and accuracy.
Technological Characteristics
Polycarbonate/ABS plastic case; stainless steel attachment clip. Sensing: differential amplifier for ECG, accelerometer for motion. Energy: 3.0V rechargeable lithium battery. Dimensions: 195mm length, 38mm diameter, 12.5mm tail clip. Connectivity: wired data transfer to PC via reader. Software: proprietary algorithms for ECG feature detection and caloric expenditure derivation. Sterilization: none required.
Indications for Use
Indicated for ambulatory patients requiring quantifiable measurement of heart rate, activity, and caloric expenditure. Not intended for use as an ECG monitor.

#### Substantial Equivalence
This premarket notification submission demonstrates that the Actiheart system is substantially equivalent to the Mini Logger Series 2000 (K991045).
The design of the Actiheart was verified through the use of design verification and validation testing. The Hazards Control Measures Traceability Matrix provided in the Risk Analysis assured that all hazards identified by the risk analysis were successfully mitigated.
This submission is seeking to obtain clearance to market a new product that is substantially equivalent to the Mini Logger Series 2000. The new product (Actiheart) performs substantially equivalent measurements of Heart Rate and Activity as the Mini Logger Series 2000.
#### Indications for Use
The Actiheart is an ambulatory Heart Rate and Activity Recorder. Actiheart may be used to quantifiably measure Heart Rate, Activity, and estimates of Caloric Expenditure. This device is not intended for use as an ECG monitor.
#### Device Description
Actiheart is a compact, ambulatory, physiological Heart Rate and Activity data recorder. Actiheart may be attached to the chest surface through the use of standard ECG electrodes. Recorded data may be transferred later to a PC for display and conversion for export to other programs.
#### Basic scientific concepts
The device acquires and logs digital data whose values represent the rate of Heart Beat (BPM), based on a proprietary analysis of ECG complexes. (Actiheart is not an ECG monitor.) The scientific concepts and technologies that are used to sense the signals are summarized in Table 10A.

#### Functional Description
Actiheart is intended for the measurement, storage, and display of physiological data (Heart Rate (HR) and Activity (ACT)). In addition, Actiheart derives an approximate value of Energy Expenditure from the values of HR and ACT. Actiheart can be attached to the subject's chest using standard ECG electrodes. Through the use of various types of standard ECG electrodes, the Recorder may be worn for varying lengths of time, dependent on the amount of data logging desired and the recommendations of the ECG electrode manufacturer. Parameter data are logged on board the Recorder and later transferred through a cable to a personal computer via the Reader. The PC Software can be used to display the physiological data and store the data for future comparison. The Multicharger is used to re-charge the Recorder's onboard rechargeable lithium battery.
#### Technological characteristics, comparison to predicate device
Actiheart and the Mini-Logger Series 2000 Heart Rate Probe (K991045) are each diagnostic test systems based upon the concept of an ambulatory, unattended physiological recorder that logs physiological data to the logging device. Each of these devices is a solid-state Recorder with differential amplifiers, data collection and analysis algorithms, and with the ability to store data until it is transfered into the PC. Actiheart and the Mini-Logger Series 2000 Heart Rate Probe are of similar size and weight. Both devices measure and record Heart Rate and Activity.
The physiological data logging device presented in this 510(k) submission (Actiheart) is substantially equivalent to the Heart Rate Probe currently marketed as part of the Mini-Logger® Series 2000 Physiological Data Logging Device (K991045).
The Actiheart and the Mini-Logger® Series 2000 Heart Rate Probe are of similar size and weight. Both devices have the ability to measure Heart Rate. Both devices are surface-mounting, chest-worn, and ambulatory.
The performance characteristics are illustrative of comparable devices. Similarities and differences between Actiheart and the predicate device are presented below in Table 10C. Where differences exist, they reflect reduced indications for use and improvements in convenience of use.

#### Assessment of non-clinical performance data
The performance of the Actifieart Recorder has been tested in accordance with applicable clauses of ANSI/AAMI EC13:2002, American National Standard for Heart Rate (HR) Meters. The categories of tests applied to the submitted Recorder are listed as follows:
- . Tall T-wave rejection capability
- Measurement of HR sensitivity and specificity for several libraries of ECG waveforms .
- Measurement of HR in the presence of line frequency and drift noise .
- Measurement of range and accuracy of ECG detection .
- Measurement of HR detection over a range of QRS amplitudes .
- Accuracy and response to irregular rhythms .
A detailed disclosure of the test results has been provided in Tab 5 of this Application. For all the categories, we have determined that Actiheart performance meets that of the currently-marketed predicate device, Mini-Logger® Series 2000 Heart Rate Probe. Neither the submitted device (Actiheart) nor the predicate device (Mini-Logger® Series 2000 Heart Rate Probe) is capable of detecting all types of irregular rhythms as specified in ANSI/AAMI EC13, Clause 4.1.2.1(e). However, per ANSI/AAMI EC13, a note has been placed in the Actiheart Instruction Manual indicating such. A summary of our results appears in Table 10D.
