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 (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.

| Device Description Summary | | 21 CFR 807.92(a)(4) |
| BIOMONITOR IV is a programmable, subcutaneous injectable cardiac monitor able to record subcutaneous ECGs (sECGs) and other physiological parameters. The BIOMONITOR IV is designed to automatically record the occurrence of arrhythmias in a patient. Arrhythmia may be classified as atrial fibrillation (AF), bradyarrhythmia, pause, sudden rate drop, or tachycardia. In addition, the BIOMONITOR IV can be activated by the patient to record cardiac rhythm during symptomatic episodes. NOTE: The BIOMONITOR IV subcutaneous ECG may differ from a surface ECG due to differences in electrode separation and device placement in the body. BIOMONITOR IV detects a subcutaneous ECG from a pair of electrodes. These signals are filtered in two different ways. For detection of QRS complexes, the signals are filtered with a passband of 10-40 Hz in order to suppress T-waves, artifacts, and baseline drift at low frequencies, and myopotentials and EMI at high frequencies. The resulting signal is appropriate for QRS detection as other components of the signal have been suppressed. This signal naturally does not have a typical ECG morphology due to the bandpass. For waveform display (real-time streaming sECG with the physician's programmer and snapshots for review by the physician), a different passband is utilized to retain signal features that may have diagnostic value. This passband is 0.5 – 40 Hz, which is designed to retain morphological features of a typical ECG while still rejecting large low frequency artifacts and baseline drift. The BIOMONITOR IV system consists of three main components: | | |
{5}
1. BIOMONITOR IV insertable cardiac monitor – The BIOMONITOR IV is a small, leadless device that is typically inserted under the skin, in the chest. The device uses two electrodes on the body of the device to continuously monitor the patient's subcutaneous ECG. BIOMONITOR IV can store up to 96 minutes (67 min minimum) of subcutaneous ECG (sECG) recordings from both automatically detected arrhythmias and from manually triggered symptom episodes. When a patient experiences symptoms, the sECG recordings can be manually triggered by placing the Remote Assistant III over the BIOMONITOR IV. The injectable cardiac monitor is provided preloaded in an insertion tool. An incision tool is also provided.
2. BIOTRONIK Renamic / Renamic Neo Programmer – The programmer is used to set up the BIOMONITOR IV to detect arrhythmias. It also allows one to view, save, or print the stored information.
3. BIOTRONIK CardioMessenger® Smart is a telemetry patient device that forwards the data from the BIOMONITOR IV to BIOTRONIK's Home Monitoring Service Center.
BIOMONITOR IV may be used with BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring® technology, which is an automatic, wireless, remote monitoring system for management of patients with insertable cardiac monitors. When active, Home Monitoring enables the exchange of information about a patient's cardiac status from the implant to the Home Monitoring Service Center (HMSC) where the physician may log in to view the data. The HMSC can be used to provide the physician with advanced reports from the implanted device and process them into a graphical and tabular format that is accessible via the internet platform HMSC. This information may help the physician optimize the therapy process, possibly providing earlier notification of clinically relevant events to help guide future therapy.

The proposed device and the predicate device BIOTRONIK's BIOMONITOR IV ICMs were compared with respect to indications for use, principle of operation, product labeling, intended use, technological characteristics, and safety characteristics. Based on this comparison, BIOTRONIK believes that the proposed BIOMONITOR IV is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. | |
| Technological Comparison | 21 CFR 807.92(a)(6) |
| The proposed updated BIOMONITOR IV Implantable Cardiac Monitors (ICMs) are substantially equivalent to the predicate device, BIOTRONIK's BIOMONITOR IV (K230375, cleared May 19, 2023).

| Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions | 21 CFR 807.92(b) |
| All necessary performance testing was conducted on the updated BIOMONITOR IV to ensure that the device conforms to the design specification and to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The collective results of the performed testing demonstrated that the firmware updates meet the established specifications necessary for consistent performance during its intended use. In addition, the collective bench testing demonstrates that the proposed device does not introduce new issues of safety or effectiveness when compared to the predicate device. This submission does not contain any animal testing or human clinical data. | |
