Study Watch is also intended to record, store, transfer, and display single-channel electrocardiogram (ECG) rhythms. The Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor is indicated for use in professional healthcare facility environments, while worn as a wrist watch. # Device Description The Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor is a miniaturized physiological data monitoring device that is intended to record, store, transfer and display single-channel electrocardiogram (ECG) rhythms. The Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor is intended to notify the user in the event of irregular pulse, such as atrial fibrillation (AF), and recommend acquisition of an ECG. The device utilizes a band and proprietary watch that incorporates two dedicated sensing electrodes to obtain a single-channel ECG measurement. In practice, a healthcare professional (HCP) may prescribe the Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor to a patient and recommend the capture and transmission of one or more ECG rhythms on a daily basis for analysis by the HCP. The patient uses prompts provided on the graphical user interface (GUI) of the watch to collect a realtime 60-second ECG measurement. The patient is able to capture an ECG rhythm on-demand by navigation to the ECG menu, in response to a daily ECG reminder, or upon receipt of an irregular pulse notification. While an animated ECG waveform is briefly displayed on the GUI of the watch, the patient will not have direct access to the collected wave form. {4}------------------------------------------------ Using the provided charging dock (Cradle) and Verily's Study Hub device, the ECG measurements are securely transferred to Verily's cloud server and are viewed by the HCP using a web portal. The web portal is solely intended for use by the HCP to view time-stamped ECG waveforms collected by the patient and does not include any analysis features. Collectively, the Study Watch consists of the wearable watch and band, the Study Hub (used to transfer data from the watch to the cloud), a Cradle, and the web portal. #### Substantial Equivalence Discussion Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor is substantially equivalent to the selected primary predicate Study Watch (K182456) and secondary predicate FibriCheck (K173872) in terms of intended use, fundamental scientific technology and operating principle as it relates to K182456 and indication for use and the primary modes of data collection as it relates to K173872. Specifically, both the proposed and primary predicate are intended to record, store, transfer, and display single-channel ECG rhythms in adults with known or suspected heart conditions. Also, both the proposed and secondary predicate are specifically indicated to detect irregular pulse in adults with a diagnosis of, or are susceptible to, AF. Similar to the primary predicate device, the proposed device is classified as a Telephone Electrocardiograph Transmitter and Receiver in accordance with 21 CFR 870.2920. Product Code DXH, DPS. It is of importance to note that both the Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Notification and the primary predicate device use two (2) dedicated sensing electrodes to obtain a single-channel ECG measurement.

Successfully completed bench performance testing demonstrates the Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor is substantially equivalent to the predicate device for the specified intended use. #### Performance Testing Human Factors The 510(k)-cleared Study Watch per K182456 underwent a human factors assessment demonstrating that the Study Watch is substantially equivalent to the predicate device for the specified intended use (for the ECG feature). This previously completed human factors assessment per K182456 is still applicable as there are no changes to user interface or how the ECG waveform is displayed. Additional human factors assessments were conducted to assess that the system as it relates to the Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor meets user needs and that the Instructions for Use (IFU) support the effective use of the system including specific risk management measures. Two formative studies assessed the instructions for two user groups: Study Watch users and Web Portal users (HCP) and demonstrate that IFU for the Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor can be well comprehended by users, supporting the effective use of the irregular pulse notification feature. #### Clinical Performance Data Clinical performance testing was conducted to demonstrate that Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor generates data that meet the clinical requirements for irregular pulse monitoring in target patients. Specifically, the primary clinical study collected Study Watch PPG waveform (Test) data in clinic from patients with a history of AF and applied the PPG-based Irregular Pulse Monitor algorithm, using contemporaneous Holter ECG (Reference) data as ground truth. The presented data include the primary endpoints [per-interval sensitivity 0.85 (0.79-0.90) and specificity 0.96 (0.93-0.99)] showing that the PPG-based Irregular Pulse Monitor algorithm exceeds the pre-specified per-interval performance thresholds for sensitivity and specificity for continuous monitoring. This study demonstrates that the Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor is substantially equivalent to primary predicate Study Watch (K182456) and secondary predicate FibriCheck (K173872) and substantially equivalent to the predicate device for the specified intended use. #### Conclusion In Summary, the comprehensive performance testing demonstrates that the Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor is substantially equivalent to the predicate device for the specified intended use. This testing in addition to the comprehensive comparison to the primary predicate Study Watch (K182456) and secondary predicate FibriCheck (K173872) demonstrate the Study Watch with Irregular Pulse Monitor is substantially equivalent to the named predicate devices for the specified intended use.
