Intended Use

EK12 v2 analyzes 10 or more seconds of a previously acquired electrocardiogram (ECG) from physiological ECG signal recording devices for rhythm and measurements. EK12 is used to create reports intended for use by a Qualified Medical Professional, including a trained ECG Technician operating within Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility (IDTF) requirements and performance standards for the review and assessment of an ECG. EK12 is indicated for use on adults and pediatric patients older than 2 years. The device is intended for use in an IDTF or a professional medical facility, such as a hospital, clinic, or physician's office.

Device Story

Software-only algorithm; analyzes 10+ seconds of previously acquired ECG signals; performs rhythm analysis and measurements; generates reports for qualified medical professionals/technicians. Used in IDTFs, hospitals, clinics, or physician offices. Operates as part of a host system; outputs include text files with pass/fail status, rhythm/measurement evaluations, event logs (arrhythmias/noise), and QRS detection annotations. Does not perform active patient monitoring; no real-time alarms or alerts. Benefits include automated ECG interpretation and standardized reporting to support clinical decision-making.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical studies were required. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including software verification, performance testing, and compliance with AAMI/ANSI EC57:2012 for cardiac rhythm and ST-segment measurement algorithms.

Technological Characteristics

Software-only algorithm; utilizes 12SL ECG analysis technology. Inputs: ECG signal data (WFDB format), optional patient age/gender, optional lead names. Outputs: Tab-delimited text files and binary WFDB annotation files. Complies with AAMI/ANSI EC57:2012. Designed for integration into host ECG recording systems.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adults and pediatric patients older than 2 years requiring analysis of previously acquired ECG recordings for rhythm and measurements in professional medical facilities or IDTFs.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

The arrhythmia detector and alarm device monitors an electrocardiogram and is designed to produce a visible or audible signal or alarm when atrial or ventricular arrhythmia, such as premature contraction or ventricular fibrillation, occurs.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Arrhythmia Detector and Alarm” will serve as the special control. See § 870.1 for the availability of this guidance document.
