The device analyzes ECG signals acquired by other ECG acquisition and storage devices. The device is only intended for traditional "wet" electrode inputs. The SafeBeat app does not directly acquire ECG data from patients. ECG data is obtained programmatically through an application programming interface (API) with the ECG acquisition and storage device, or manually via data upload through a secure web interface. The device is solely intended to analyze raw digital ECG data and does not allow the analysis of ECG signals imported by images. Provisional ECG analysis is performed by the device. The device includes both beat-level feature identification and interval estimation. The beat-level parameters are: - R-peak - QRS onset - ST onset - T-wave offset The interval estimation parameters: - Heart rate - RR interval variability - QRS duration - QT interval - QT interval variability - Heart rate corrected QT (e.g., QTcF) - Heart rate corrected QT variability {5} K251218 Provisional ECG interval measurements are displayed on a user interface for review and interpretation by a qualified healthcare professional. The provisional ECG analysis can be viewed, edited, approved, or rejected by the qualified healthcare professional via the user interface. The SafeBeat App does not provide continuous cardiac monitoring. The SafeBeat App does not provide rhythm interpretation or diagnosis cardiac arrhythmias (e.g. atrial fibrillation). The device does not include automated rhythm analysis. The device is intended for adult patient populations. ## Indications for Use The SafeBeat Rx App analyzes ECG data recorded in compatible formats. This ECG signal may originate from a full 12-lead ECG or a reduced lead set ECG. The device provides ECG signal processing and provisional analysis, including interval measurements (QT interval, QTc, QRS duration, heart rate, and RR interval), along with visible display of QRS onset (Q-start), R-peak, and QRS offset (S-end).

SafeBeat Rx App provisional ECG analysis is not intended to be the sole means of diagnosis. The SafeBeat Rx App is not validated for use in lead I alone. The SafeBeat Rx App is intended to be used on an advisory basis only by qualified healthcare personnel to evaluate provisional ECG data. ECG data should be reviewed in conjunction with the patient's clinical history, symptoms, and/or other diagnostic tests, and the professional clinical judgement of the qualified healthcare provider.

The SafeBeat Rx App has an optional long term monitoring workflow intended for monitoring and evaluating a patient's home acquired ECG. The software workflow that is intended for use in the professional healthcare environment should not be used in the home environment to adjust QT prolonging medications as is contraindicated for applicable drugs. ## Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device The SafeBeat Rx App has the same overall technological characteristics as CardioLogs ECG Analysis Platform, including providing measurements and analysis of ECG for physician review. There are minor differences in the SafeBeat Rx App as compared to the predicate device. The SafeBeat Rx App identifies beat-by-beat waveform features and interval measurements and it provides general functions for inputting ECG data from a separate source, processing the ECG data, analyzing the ECG and labeling the beat-by-beat annotations on the ECG. The SafeBeat Rx App displays the resulting analysis along with the original ECG and provides tools for the physician to adjust or confirm results and also provides a report to the physician which is similar to the predicate device. The SafeBeat Rx App does not alter the ECG acquisition device. Because the Subject device uses a machine learning-based approach for QT interval measurement that is not present in the Predicate device, a Reference device was included in the comparison. The Reference device similarly utilizes a machine learning-based algorithm to compute the QT interval. The inclusion of this Reference device provides an appropriate technological benchmark for evaluating the use of machine learning in QT interval measurement. This comparison demonstrates that the use of machine learning for QT interval calculation is well established in FDA-cleared devices and does not introduce new questions of safety or effectiveness. Any {6} K251218 technological differences between the Predicate, Reference, and Subject devices have been evaluated through hazard analysis and mitigated through appropriate risk controls and verification testing. Based on this assessment, these differences do not impact the substantial equivalence of the Subject device. Tables 1 and 2 and the accompanying discussion below provide a detailed comparison of the intended use and technological characteristics of the SafeBeat Rx App and the predicate device. As demonstrated below, the intended use of the SafeBeat Rx App and the predicate device are the same. There are minor differences in technological characteristics, but the testing and validation activities described in this 510(k) submission show that the minor technological differences do not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness and that the SafeBeat Rx App is at least as safe and effective as the predicate device.

Integration testing was done which tested the system from input to output. Software validation testing was completed successfully and demonstrated the device met customer requirements. No anomalies were detected during design verification and validation testing. Human Factors usability testing met all requirements for all use groups. ## Clinical Testing The training dataset consisted of broad distribution of cardiac rhythms and less common supraventricular rhythms. QRS and QTc morphology were diverse. The dataset ensured generalization across age, sex, rhythm classes and ECG waveform variations. 10 {14} K251218 The software validation included: - QTc Measurement Validation (SafeBeat Proprietary Dataset): Comparing software-generated QTc measurements to expert cardiologist annotations - QRS Measurement Validation (SafeBeat Proprietary Dataset): Comparing QRS measurements to expert cardiologist annotations - HR and R-R Peak Measurement Validation (SafeBeat Proprietary Dataset): Comparing heart rate (HR) and R-R peak measurements to expert cardiologist annotations - Edge Case Testing: Assessing ECGs with morphological changes in T-waves, U-waves, and T-U wave fusion, and QT prolongation cases. - QTc and QRS mean difference using the Common Standards for Electrocardiography (CSE) Dataset (n=100) ECGs in accordance with IEC 60601-2-25. - Arrhythmia Detection Validation: Evaluating beat-segment detection/QRS sensitivity and positive predictive value against test datasets referenced in IEC 60601-2-47. - Arrhythmia Detection Validation: Evaluating heart rate (HR) and R-R peak against test datasets referenced in IEC 60601-2-47. ## SafeBeat Proprietary Validation Dataset The clinical validation for the SafeBeat Rx App consisted of retrospective testing using publicly available clinical datasets to assess the algorithm's ability to measure QT, QRS, and HR/RR. The SafeBeat Rx App measurements were compared with the annotations performed by board-certified cardiologists. The cohort had a mean age of 40.9 years (range 18-87) with balanced male and female representation (51.5% male). The race and ethnicity distribution included White (60.9%), Asian (3.8%), Black or African American (10%), Hispanic or Latino (4.8%), Other (4.1%), or Unknown (16.5%) individuals. Body mass index (BMI, kg/m²) ranged from normal (<25, 18.9%), overweight (≥25 and <30, 22.3%), obese (≥30, 22.6%), and Unknown (36.2%). Data was assembled from multiple independent sources. The validation datasets included ECG recordings from diverse patient populations collected across multiple geographically distinct locations, encompassing healthy individuals, patients in critical care settings, and patients with known arrhythmias. The datasets represented a broad spectrum of ECG morphologies, including sinus rhythm, bradycardia, tachycardia, atrial arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, drug-induced QTc prolongation, and clinically relevant T-wave, U-wave, and T-U wave fusion morphology. Software-generated QT, QRS, and HR/RR measurements were compared against annotations performed by board-certified cardiologists with excellent agreement. ## Standard ECG Test Databases (defined by IEC 60601-2-47) The IEC 60601-2-47 standard references three datasets for testing: MIT-BIH Normal Sinus Rhythm dataset, AHA database, and MIT-BIH Noise Stress Test dataset. The testing included QRS sensitivity and positive predictivity results and the Heart Rate/RR root mean square error (RMSE) and RMSE Percent (%) using established metrics. Testing on IEC 60601-2-47 reference ECG databases demonstrated effective beat-segment/QRS detection as well as heart rate/R-R interval estimation performance. ## Common Standards for Electrocardiography (CSE) Database (defined by IEC 60601-2-25) {15} K251218 Performance testing in accordance with IEC 60601-2-25 was conducted using ECG recordings containing CSE reference measurements. Global QT interval and QRS duration measurements demonstrated excellent agreement with manual CSE reference measurements. ## Conclusion Based on the results of the nonclinical and clinical performance testing, the SafeBeat Rx App is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with respect to intended use, technological characteristics, and performance.
