The Zio ECG Utilization Software (ZEUS) Platform is intended to process, store, and analyze electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings captured from a compatible ECG monitor, including automatically detected arrhythmia events and patient-triggered events. The ZEUS Platform also allows for review of the analyzed data and, subsequently, report generation. Interpretation of the analyzed ECG data and the associated diagnosis is the responsibility of the prescribing or treating healthcare professional. The ZEUS Platform is indicated for use on patients 18 years or older who may be asymptomatic or who may suffer from symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, light-headedness, pre- syncope, syncope, fatigue, or anxiety. The ZEUS Platform is not intended for detection or notification of hemodynamically unstable or life- threatening arrhythmias or cardiac events requiring urgent medical response. It is not intended for patients at elevated risk of serious cardiovascular events that would require immediate intervention.
Device Story
ZEUS Platform is SaMD processing/analyzing ECG recordings from compatible Zio monitors; identifies/annotates beats, rhythms, and artifacts. Utilizes deep-learned AI (ECGDLv2/v3) for analysis of transmissions and post-wear recordings.

Dear Brittany Davis:
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 (the 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 available 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.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, ISO 13485 clause 7.3 (Design controls), ISO 13484 clause 8.3 (Nonconforming product), and ISO 13485 clause 8.5 (Corrective and preventative action). Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QMSR requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (ISO 13485 clause 7.3 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
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 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 (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

Interpretation of the analyzed ECG data and the associated diagnosis is the responsibility of the prescribing or treating healthcare professional.
The ZEUS Platform is indicated for use on patients 18 years or older who may be asymptomatic or who may suffer from symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, light-headedness, pre-syncope, syncope, fatigue, or anxiety.
The ZEUS Platform is not intended for detection or notification of hemodynamically unstable or life-threatening arrhythmias or cardiac events requiring urgent medical response. It is not intended for patients at elevated risk of serious cardiovascular events that would require immediate intervention.
## V. Device Description
ZEUS Platform is a Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) consisting of a collection of software modules intended to process, store and analyze electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings captured from compatible Zio ECG monitoring devices, including automatically detected arrhythmia events and patient-triggered events. ZEUS Platform also enables Qualified Cardiac Technicians (QCTs) to review and edit ECG data after algorithm analysis and facilitate report generation. Reports curated with preliminary findings are intended for use by clinicians as an aid to arrhythmia diagnosis and management.
ZEUS Platform utilizes a deep-learned, artificial intelligence-based ECG analysis software module present in both the predicate and subject devices. It is intended to analyze both ECG transmissions during wear and full ECG recordings post-wear captured by all compatible Zio ECG monitoring devices. As a part of the analysis, the ECGDL will identify and annotate beats, beat types, ectopic runs, and rhythms/artifact present in the ECG data.
## VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics with Predicate Devices (Substantial Equivalence)
The subject ZEUS Platform has the same intended use as the predicate device. The differences in the technological characteristics between the subject and predicate device do not raise any issues of safety or efficacy as the fundamental scientific technology and intended use is unchanged. Thus, the ZEUS Platform is considered 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.
