Intended Use
The Zio monitor is a prescription-only, single-patient-use, ECG monitor that continuously records data for up to 14 days. It is indicated for use on patients who may be asymptomatic or who may suffer from transient such as palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, lightheadedness, pre-syncope, syncope, fatigue or anxiety.
Device Story
Zio Monitor is a single-patient-use, long-term ambulatory ECG monitor; adhered to patient's left pectoral region in modified Lead II orientation. Device records continuous ECG data for up to 14 days; activated by patient at home or clinic. Features include a patient-operated button to mark symptoms and an LED indicator (green for active, orange for error/loss of skin contact). Device provides continuous, uninterrupted ECG recording into internal memory. Physicians use the recorded data to initiate long-term monitoring; output aids in clinical decision-making regarding cardiac rhythm assessment. Benefits include patient-compliant, long-term monitoring in an ambulatory setting.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical testing was performed in support of this premarket notification. Substantial equivalence is supported by nonclinical bench testing, including mechanical verification, biocompatibility, firmware verification, and electrical safety/EMC testing in accordance with recognized consensus standards.
Technological Characteristics
Ambulatory ECG monitor; modified Lead II orientation. Adheres to left pectoral region. Features patient-activated event button and LED status indicator. Connectivity: internal memory storage. Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 60601-2-47, ISO 10993-1/5/10, IEC 62304. Packaging standards: ASTM D7386-16, ASTM D4332-14. Single-patient-use, non-sterile.

Dear Rey Jacinto:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal
{1}------------------------------------------------
statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

#### IV. Indications for Use
The Indications for Use statement for the Zio monitor is as follows:
The Zio monitor is a prescription-only, single-patient-use ECG monitor that continuously records data for up to 14 days. It is indicated for use on patients who may be asymptomatic or who may suffer from transient symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, lightheadedness, pre-syncope, syncope, fatigue or anxiety.
#### V. Device Description
The Zio monitor is a non-sterile, single-patient-use, long-term ambulatory ECG monitor that is adhered to a patient's left pectoral region in a modified Lead II orientation. The goal of the Zio monitor is to help physicians initiate long-term, patient-compliant ECG monitoring utilizing proprietary technology.
The Zio monitor is applied and activated by the patient at home or at a clinic. Once activated, the device provides continuous, uninterrupted ECG recording into memory with minimal patient interaction. There is a button on the surface of the Zio monitor, which serves to activate the device and may be pressed by the patient during wear to indicate when he or she is experiencing a symptom. Additionally, there is a surface LED light that blinks green to confirm proper activation or that the device is working, and orange to indicate loss of connection with the skin or the presence of error conditions.
#### VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics with Predicate Devices (Substantial Equivalence)
The Indications for Use statement for the Zio monitor are substantially equivalent to the cleared Indications for Use statement of the predicate device. Differences in the phrasing of the proposed Indications for Use statement from the predicate device are not critical to the intended use of the device, nor do they affect the substantial equivalence of the subject device relative to the predicate device (Section 12.3.2). Therefore, the subject device can be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
The performance testing results demonstrate that the differences in the technological characteristics (i.e. reduced weight and power) between the devices do not raise any
{5}------------------------------------------------
### Section 5 510(k) Summary
new issues of safety or efficacy as compared to the predicate. Therefore, the Zio monitor is determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
A comparison table outlining the differences and similarities between the subject device and the predicate device is provided in Table 1.

#### VIII. Clinical Testing in Support of Substantial Equivalence Determination
No clinical testing was performed in support of this premarket notification.
#### IX. Conclusion
The results confirm by examination and provision of objective evidence that the design outputs met the design input requirements. The results of the nonclinical testing performed demonstrate that the Zio monitor meets the requirements of established conformance standards and performance specifications necessary for its intended use, and does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness as compared to the predicate devices. The Zio monitor is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
