The "Intended Use" of the Premier 11 software is the same as the predicate devices. The intended use is for evaluation of the recorded ECG for patients who are subject to physician ordered Holter ECG monitoring environments; such as, palpitations, dizziness, chest pains, shortness of breath, pacemaker function, and drug therapy follow-up. The evaluation includes the standard Holter software measurements and reporting of arrhythmia, ST changes, R-R Variability, QRS interval changes, and heart rate trends. The PC computer-generated results do not contain diagnostic interpretation. The data can be edited, and only the qualified physicians are intended to review the ECG data and to make a diagnosis. The Premier 11 Holter is intended to be used only by physicians, or on the order and supervision of a physician.
Device Story
Premier 11 Holter is a software program for analyzing prerecorded ambulatory ECG (Holter) data. Inputs include raw ECG waveforms and pacemaker pulse data from cassette or digital Holter recorders. Software runs on standard PCs (Windows XP). Features include: full disclosure print-outs, multi-channel morphology/ST analysis, heart rate analysis, manual QRS width measurement, arrhythmia editing, and 24-hour page scanning. Device does not provide diagnostic interpretation; trained medical personnel review and edit analysis results to assist in clinical diagnosis. Benefits include standardized reporting of cardiac rhythm patterns to support physician decision-making regarding therapy and patient risk.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification and validation performed using the same input data databases as the predicate device (K911615B) to ensure analysis results remain consistent after the software platform migration to Windows.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based Holter analyzer. Operates on IBM PC AT compatible hardware (Pentium >200 MHz, >100 GB HDD). Supports 2 or 3 ECG channels, 8-bit resolution, 128-512 Hz sampling frequency. Analysis algorithm runs in DOS environment; remainder of software runs on Windows XP. Connectivity via standard PC peripherals; output via laser or inkjet printers.
Indications for Use
Indicated for pediatric to adult patients for: assessment of symptoms related to heart rhythm disturbances (e.g., palpitations); risk assessment in patients with/without arrhythmia (e.g., idiopathic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, post-myocardial infarction with left ventricular dysfunction); assessment of anti-arrhythmic therapy efficacy; assessment of pacemaker function; and detection of transient ST depression or Prinzmetal ST elevation.

### Legally marketed devices to which S.E. is claimed:
The Premier 11 Holter system is essentially the same as the previously cleared K911615B Premier Holter system, except that (1) the software (other than the analysis) was changed to Windows, and (2) the Premier 11 accepts Holter recorded ECGs from both cassette Holter recorders and digital Holter recorders.
The analyzed data, the Full Disclosure print-outs, and the printed ECG strips are essentially the same, and function in the same manner as the below predicate devices. This modification of the submitted Premier 11 Holter system is substantially equivalent (SE) to the following legally marketed predicate devices that were cleared 510(k)s under 21 CFR 870.2800, Class II:
- Diagnostic Monitoring Software, Premier Holter system, K911615B. .
- Brentwood Medical Technology, IQmark Digital Holter, K031466 .
{1}------------------------------------------------
## Description
The Premier 11 Holter is a software program that analyzes recorded ambulatory ECG (Holter), then creates ECG print-outs and numerical reports based on the analyzed data. The ambulatory ECG, as well as pacemaker pulse data, is prerecorded onto data storage mediums by Holter ECG recorders. The Premier 11 Holter software reads these raw data into standard PC computers, and then performs analysis to generate numerical reports.
The Premier 11 Holter software provides review and editing tools that allow trained medical personnel to review and edit the initial analysis of the recorded Holter ECG data. This data processing is performed on a standard PC computer, such as an XP Home or Professional operating platform.
The cardiac data that is processed by the Premier 11 Holter is both individual ECG waveforms and patterns of consecutive ECG waveforms. The Premier 11 Holter software does not provide diagnostic interpretation of the ECG data. Only the trained physician can provide such diagnosis. The cardiac data processed by the Premier 11 Holter is used by trained medical professionals to assist them to perform diagnosis on patients with various cardiac rhythm patterns.
The Premier 11 provides the standard Holter ECG processing features; such as individual ECG print-outs, Full Disclosure ECG print-outs, multi-channel morphology and ST analysis, heart rate analysis, manual markers for measuring the QRS width in both filtered and unfiltered modes, editing of arrhythmias, editing of ECG strips. editing of abnormal ECG events, selection of desired page prints for the Holter report, PageScanning of 100% of the 24-hour ECG, and storage of the Holter ECG file for future review of the data. These same functions are in both the predicate Premier Holter system cleared under K911615B and in this modified Premier 11 Holter software.
The printing of the data can be performed by either Laser or Inkiet type printers, and the printing can be done in either B&W or color. These same print functions are found in both the predicate Premier software (K911615B) and in this modified Premier 11 software.
In fact, the analysis algorithm is still in DOS, and is essentially the same as the K911615B Premier software. The same testing data bases are used for verification and validation that the analysis results are the same for the original K911615B software, as well as the present day Premier 11 software. These test results, using the same input data are available for FDA inspection from the Premier Holter (K911615B) in the mid-1990's to the present day verification tests of the modified Premier 11 Holter software.
The function and results of the Premier 11 Holter software versus the predicate cleared device are the same, except that the Premier 11 Holter software operates in
{2}------------------------------------------------
the Windows environment.
The other listed predicate device is the IQmark Digital Holter (K031466), Brentwood Medical Technology. The reason this is listed as a predicate device is because Diagnostic Monitoring Software sold a version of its Premier Holter software (K911615B) to Brentwood Medical Technology in the early 1990's, and thus the genesis of the IQmark Digital Holter software is the Premier Holter software.
# Comparisons to the Sponsor's Predicate Devices:
The Premier 11 Holter software is substantially equivalent (SE) to the below devices.

## Fundamental Scientific Technology:
As described above, there is no fundamental change in the scientific technology from the predicate devices to this Special 510(k) submission of the Premier 11 software.
Also, the product modifications of the Premier 11, as compared to the predicate Premier device (K911615B), do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the device.
## Intended Use of Device:
The "Intended Use" of the Premier 11 software is the same as the predicate devices. The intended use is for evaluation of the recorded ECG for patients who are subject to physician ordered Holter ECG monitoring environments; such as, palpitations, dizziness, chest pains, shortness of breath, pacemaker function, and drug therapy follow-up. The evaluation includes the standard Holter software measurements and reporting of arrhythmia, ST changes, R-R Variability, QRS interval changes, and heart rate trends. The PC computer-generated results do not contain diagnostic interpretation. The data can be edited, and only the qualified physicians are intended to review the ECG data and to make a diagnosis.
The Premier 11 Holter is intended to be used only by physicians, or on the order and supervision of a physician.
The intended use of the Premier 11 has not changed from the cleared device, the Premier Holter software (K911615B).

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
