# Legally 510(k) marketed device to which Substantial Equivalence is claimed:
In October 2006, the FDA issued its 510(k) number K062959 for the DMS Holter Recorder, Model 300-2, which is the predicate device for this submission. The Regulation Number was 21 CFR 870 2800, and the Regulation Name was Ambulatory Electrocardiograph without analysis. The Regulatory Class was Class II, and the Product Code was 74 MWJ.
The subject of this Device Modification submission is the DMS Holter Recorder, Model 300-2W. The 300-2W is a minor modification to the predicate 300-2 Holter Recorder. The modifications are (1) increasing the size of the memory storage without affecting the characteristics of the stored ECG signal, and (2) including an additional auxiliary ECG output for the traditional realtime ECG viewing of the operational status of a Holter Recorder.
The history of the predicate 300-2 device is that this 300-2W is its first modification for a submission of a Special 510(k) submission.
# Principle of Device Operation:
The principle of operation of a Holter ECG recorder is that a battery powered device is worn by a patient for the purpose of a 24-hour or longer ambulatory ECG recording on either a hospital in-patient or out-patient. After the Holter ECG recording is completed, the ECG data is transferred from the Holter ECG recorder to a PC that has a Holter ECG processing software program. From the PC, a Holter ECG report is generated for a qualified physician to review. Only a licensed physician can order the Holter ECG test.
# Description:
The 300-2W is a Holter Recorder that records the ECG signal in the exact same manner as the predicate 300-2 device. The 300-2W transfers the Holter ECG from its memory in the exact same manner as the predicate 300-2. The 300-2W uses the same USB cable as is used by the predicate 300-2 to transfer the Holter file from the Holter Recorder to the Holter PC. The Holter PC program processes the 300-2W Holter ECG recording with the exact same software program as is used by the 300-2 predicate device. All of the Holter ECG screen displays and print pages are exactly the same when using either the 300-2W device or the 300-2 predicate device. The Holter report from which the physician makes a diagnosis is the exact same format when using either the 300-2W device or the 300-2 predicate device. The 300-2W uses the same firmware as the predicate 300-2 to record the Holter ECG data and to transfer the Holter recording to the Holter PC. The ECG signal in the 300-2W is the same ECG signal as the
{2}------------------------------------------------
predicate 300-2. The Intended Uses of the 300-2W and the predicate 300-2 are the same. The Indications for Use of the 300-2W and the predicate 300-2 are the same. The Design Controls and Performance Standards for the 300-2W and the predicate 300-2 are from the same source processes. The manufacturing process has ISO 13485 certification.
The 300-2W and the predicate 300-2 are multi-day Holter recorders. Both the 300-2W and the predicate 300-2 use the same alkaline or lithium batteries that are off-the-shelf AA batteries. Both the 300-2W and the predicate 300-2 use off-the-shelf commercial memory chips. The 300-2W uses a larger capacity memory chip, and both recorders operate with the memory chip in the same manner. The larger commercial memory chips are now larger capacity and cost less money than 300-2 Holter ECG recorder of 2006. All Holter ECG recorders have auxiliary real-time ECG outputs. These auxiliary outputs have no effect on the safety, performance, Intended Use, or Indications for Use with either the 300-2W or the predicate 300-2. Both the 300-2W and the predicate 300-2 have two (2) auxiliary outputs. The traditional uses of these auxiliary outputs is to view the quality of the electrode application to the patient prior to leaving the doctor's office, or to see the operational ECG of the Holter recording. The 300-2W and the predicate 300-2 have the same USB auxiliary output. The 300-2W has a WiFi auxiliary output and the predicate 300-2 has a transtelephonic auxiliary output.
Both the 300-2W and the predicate 300-2 have successfully passed TUV Rheinland CE Test Reports for Holter Recorders. Both the 300-2W and the predicate 300-2 use the same ECG electrode cables. Both Holter recorders provide the physician with the same Holter ECG results. See Sections 12 and 13 for the TUV CE Test Reports.
The enclosed TUV CE Test Report 15030071 001 shows that the 300-2W Holter Recorder passed all the test specifications for EN 60601=1-2:2007; including Enclosure Electrostatic Discharge, Radiated Emission on the Frequency Range above 30 MHz, RF electromagnetic field immunity test, and Power frequency magnetic field.
A photograph of the 300-2W is listed as an attachment in the Pictures section 15.
The physical properties of both the 300-2W and the predicate 300-2 are the same. The Holter circuit board is housed in a plastic type casing. The devices are similar in size to a mobile phone. There is an input for connecting an ECG cable, and an output for transferring the ECG that is stored on a memory chip on the circuit board. It is not physically possible to connect the ECG Cable input and the ECG data transfer output at the same time. As in all Holter ECG recorders there are auxiliary outputs to view the ECG in a real-time ECG mode. The physical properties of the 300-2W have been thoroughly tested for safety and performance as shown in the attached TUV Test Reports.

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.
