The Fitbit ECG App is a software-only mobile medical application intended for use with Fitbit wrist wearable devices to create, record, store, transfer, and display a single channel electrocardiogram (ECG) qualitatively similar to a Lead I ECG. The Fitbit ECG App determines the presence of atrial fibrillation (AFib) or sinus rhythm on a classifiable waveform. The AFib detection feature is not recommended for users with other known arrhythmias. The Fitbit ECG App is intended for over-the-counter (OTC) use. The ECG data displayed by the Fitbit ECG App is intended for informational use only. The user is not interpret or take clinical action based on the device output without consultation of a qualified healthcare professional. The ECG waveform is meant to supplement rhythm classification for the purposes of discriminating AFib from normal sinus rhythm and not intended to replace traditional methods of diagnosis or treatment. The Fitbit ECG App is not intended for use by people under 22 years old.
Device Story
Software-only mobile medical application; operates on Fitbit wrist-worn devices and companion mobile app. Inputs: electrical potential differences from wrist-worn sensors. Processing: 30-second ECG recording analysis via algorithm to classify rhythm as AFib, sinus rhythm, or inconclusive. Outputs: ECG waveform (PDF) and rhythm classification displayed on mobile app. Used by patients (OTC) in home/non-clinical settings. Healthcare providers review output to supplement clinical diagnosis; not for independent clinical action. Benefits: enables patient-initiated rhythm monitoring to assist in AFib detection.
Clinical Evidence
Prospective clinical study (n=475) across 9 US sites. Subjects with/without AFib history underwent simultaneous 30-second 12-lead ECG and Fitbit ECG App recording. Primary endpoints: AFib detection sensitivity/specificity and morphological equivalence to Lead I. Results: 98.7% sensitivity, 100% specificity for AFib detection; 95.0% morphological equivalence to 12-lead Lead I tracings.
Technological Characteristics
Software-only application; utilizes electrical sensors on consumer wrist-worn hardware. Connectivity: local storage on wearable, transmission to mobile app/server. Standards: IEC 60601-2-47:2012, ANSI/AAMI EC57:2012. Output: single-channel Lead I ECG waveform. Classification: Class II, Product Code QDA.
Indications for Use
Indicated for individuals 22 years or older to record, store, and display a single-channel Lead I ECG and detect atrial fibrillation (AFib) or sinus rhythm. Not for users with other known arrhythmias. For OTC use; informational purposes only.

### Device Description
The Fitbit ECG App is a software-only medical device used to create, record, display, store and analyze a single channel ECG. The Fitbit ECG App consists of a Device application ("Device app") on a consumer Fitbit wrist-worn product and a mobile application tile ("mobile app") on Fitbit's consumer mobile application. The Device app uses data from electrical sensors on a consumer Fitbit wrist-worn product to create and record an ECG. The algorithm on the Device app analyzes a 30 second recording of the ECG and provides results to the user. Users are able to view their past results as well as a pdf report of the waveform similar to a Lead I ECG on the mobile app.

## Non-clinical Testing
All necessary performance testing was conducted on the Fitbit ECG App to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device. This testing included testing of input signal quality as per IEC 60601-2-47:2012 Medical Electrical Equipment -Ambulatory Electrocardiographic Systems. Testing was conducted using appropriate databases from ANSI/AAMI EC57:2012.

The logo consists of a stylized, geometric shape made up of small circles arranged in a pattern resembling a stylized letter 'F' or a diamond shape. To the right of the geometric shape is the word "fitbit" in a sans-serif font. A small circle with an 'R' inside is located to the right of the word.
## Human Factors Testing
Human Factors testing was performed to demonstrate that the user can correctly use the device by solely reading the device labeling and also correctly interpret the device output and understand when to seek medical care. This testing satisfies the special control requirements of the predicate device and provides evidence of substantial equivalence.
## Clinical Testing
Clinical testing was performed similar to the predicate device. 475 subjects, with and without a known diagnosis of AFib, were recruited to participate across 9 US sites. Eligible subjects underwent a 10-second screening using a 12-lead ECG. Subjects with a known history of AFib were screened for AFib by a single qualified physician and assigned to the AFib cohort. Subjects without a known history of AFib were screened for NSR and assigned to the NSR cohort. Subsequently, subjects underwent a simultaneous 30-second 12-lead ECG and Fitbit ECG App test. The Fitbit ECG App software algorithm was able to detect AF with the sensitivity and specificity of 98.7% and 100%, respectively. The Fitbit ECG App's single lead waveform was deemed morphologically equivalent to the Lead I of a 12-Lead ECG waveform overall for 95.0% of AF and SR tracings reviewed qualitatively. The qualitative and quantitative results of the clinical study demonstrated substantial equivalence.
### Conclusions
The Fitbit ECG App is similar in technological characteristics and has the same intended use as the Apple ECG app. Differences in technological characteristics have been evaluated through performance testing including the special controls requirements of the predicate which has shown that the minor technological differences between the Fitbit ECG App and the predicate device raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Bench and clinical data demonstrate that the Fitbit ECG App is substantially equivalent to the Apple ECG App.
