# 7. PERFORMANCE TESTING
The Bioflux Software II device was tested and complies with AAMI EC11, AAMI EC38, IEC60601-2-25 and IEC60601-2-47 standards. The Bioflux Software II was verified in both of its operating environments of Firefox and Google Chrome. Verification activities related to the device modification were performed on the applicant device, and the predetermined acceptance criteria were met in all cases. The activities included scenario validations, beat marker confirmation testing, and device functional testing.
## 8. CONCLUSIONS
The conclusions drawn from the indications for use and testing demonstrates that Bioflux Software II exhibits comparable indications for use, technological, and design characteristics to the predicate (Bioflux Software). Based on this, the Bioflux Software II is as safe, and effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed device predicate. The Bioflux Software II is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
