# Dear Jon Brumbaugh:
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.

## Table 1. Comparison of Updated BIOMONITOR III, BIOMONITOR IIIm and Predicate, BIOMONITOR III
Several device hardware changes were implemented with this Special 510(k). These changes are being made to optimize manufacturing and prepare for further automation of the manufacturing process. The effect on determination of substantial equivalence was minimal as there was no associated change to intended use, indications for use, or fundamental technology and no additional questions regarding safety or effectiveness.
#### 7. Non-Clinical Performance Data
The following performance data are provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination :

#### 7.1 Validation and Verification Testing:
The BIOMONITOR III and BIOMONITOR IIIm have undergone thorough validation and verification testing to ensure final device functionality. The following categories of tests were performed and passed:
• Verification Testing for BIOMONITOR III and BIOMONITOR IIIm hardware changes
#### 8. Clinical Performance Data
No clinical performance data was submitted or relied upon in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
#### 9. Conclusion
BIOTRONIK concludes that the BIOMONITOR III and BIOMONITOR IIIm with hardware changes are substantially equivalent to BIOTRONIK's predicate BIOMONITOR III and BIOMONITOR IIIm. The subject devices and predicate devices have the same principle of operation and physical device characteristics as well as software features and functionality and there are no new issues of safety or effectiveness. The hardware design is adapted from the predicate with minor component changes. These aspects of equivalence are confirmed by testing provided within the application.
