Intended Use

The Zio QX ECG Monitoring System is intended to capture, analyze and report symptomatic and asymptomatic cardiac events and continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) information for long-term monitoring. While continuously recording patient ECG, both patient-triggered and automatically detected arrhythmia events are transmitted to a monitoring center for reporting. After wear, a final report is generated based on beat-to-beat information from the entire ECG recording. It is indicated for use on patients 18 years or older who may be asymptomatic or who may suffer from transient symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, light-headedness, pre-syncope, syncope, fatigue, or anxiety. The reports are provided for review by the intended user to render a diagnosis based on clinical judgment and experience. It is not intended for use on critical care patients.

Device Story

Zio QX ECG Monitoring System captures, analyzes, and reports continuous ECG data for long-term monitoring (up to 14 days). System components: Zio QX Patch (wearable sensor), Zio QX Wireless Gateway (cellular/Bluetooth transmitter), and Zio ECG Utilization Service (ZEUS) System. Patient applies/activates patch; device records ECG continuously. Patient may trigger 90-second strip transmission via button; system also performs automatic arrhythmia detection. Data transmitted via gateway to iRhythm Clinical Center (iCC). ZEUS algorithm processes data; Certified Cardiographic Technicians (CCTs) review/adjust results via QA Tool. Final report generated for clinician diagnosis. Enables symptom-rhythm correlation via patient-documented events. Benefits: improved patient compliance through simple operation; facilitates diagnosis of transient cardiac events.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical testing performed. Evidence based on nonclinical bench testing, including system performance, mechanical verification, software/firmware verification, and electrical safety/EMC testing. Automated ECG analysis performance quantified; sensitivity and positive predictivity levels met requirements.

#### 510(k) SUMMARY

#### III. PREDICATE DEVICES [21CFR708.92(a)(3)]

The following predicate devices have been selected:

- iRhythm Technologies, Inc. Zio® SR ECG Monitoring System [K143513] (primary)
- Medtronic, Inc. SEEQ™ Mobile Cardiac Telemetry (MCT) System [K133701] -

No reference devices were used in this submission.

#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION [21CFR708.92(a)(4)] IV.

The Zio® QX ECG Monitoring System consists of three key device components: (1) Zio QX Patch Recorder with Bluetooth technology, (2) Zio QX Wireless Gateway with both Bluetooth and cellular technology, and (3) the Zio ECG Utilization Service (ZEUS) System for data analysis and reporting.

The Zio® QX Patch is a non-sterile, single-patient-use ECG monitor that provides a continuous, single-channel recording in addition to asymptomatic and symptomatic data transmission for up to 14 days. The Zio® QX Patch is applied and activated by the patient. Once activated, the Patch records ECG without patient interaction, with the goal of improving patient compliance via simplicity of operation. The Zio® QX Patch, in conjunction with the Wireless Gateway and the ZEUS System, has arrhythmia auto-detection capabilities. Additionally, patients have the option of pressing a convenient trigger button which marks the continuous record and initiates the wireless transfer of a 90-second ECG strip. The wireless transfer of data is enabled by the Zio® QX Gateway, which requires Bluetooth proximity to the Patch and cellular network reception but no patient interaction to transmit to the monitoring center. The patient is encouraged to document symptomatic events in either the provided booklet, mobile medical app (iOS 9+, Android 4.4+) or via a patient website, which will support symptom-rhythm correlation in the Zio QX Report.

At the conclusion of the wear period (up to 14 days), the patient removes the Zio® QX Patch and returns it by mail to an iRhythm data processing center.

Upon receipt of both symptomatic/asymptomatic transmissions (during wear) and downloaded continuous ECG data (post wear) at iRhythm's Clinical Center (iCC), the data is processed through the ZEUS detection algorithm and delivered to the QA Tool module where the results are reviewed and/or adjusted by iRhythm's Certified Cardiographic Technicians (CCTs) for accuracy. iRhythm employed and trained Patch in-take and CCT personnel follow internal procedures for processing and are made aware of performance limitations and anomalies with both the detection algorithms and software workflow tools. All anomalies are visible to and, where appropriate, are manually corrected by iRhythm Technologies CCTs during the QA review and/or Patch Report edits. The CCT generates a final report (Zio QX Report) of the ECG findings contained within the data, thereby providing a complete ECG processing and analysis service.

Upon explicit request from a clinician responsible for the patient's healthcare, longer segments of ECG data from the continuous recording on the Patch can also be wirelessly

retrieved during the wear period. Alternatively, such periods are also available for inclusion in the final report, where the entire ECG recording is available for review and selective inclusion based on clinical relevance.

#### V. INDICATIONS FOR USE [21CFR708.92(a)(5)]

The Indications for Use statement for the Zio® QX ECG Monitoring System is as follows:

The Zio QX ECG Monitoring System is intended to capture, analyze and report symptomatic and asymptomatic cardiac events and continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) information for long-term monitoring. While continuously recording patient ECG, both patient-triggered and automatically detected arrhythmia events are transmitted to a monitoring center for reporting. After wear, a final report is generated based on beatto-beat information from the entire ECG recording. It is indicated for use on patients 18 years or older who may be asymptomatic or who may suffer from transient symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, light-headedness, pre-syncope, syncope, fatigue, or anxiety. The reports are provided for review by the intended user to render a diagnosis based on clinical judgment and experience. It is not intended for use on critical care patients.

The Indications for Use statement for the Zio® QX ECG Monitoring System differs slightly from that of the primary predicate device to address automatically detected events during wear; however, these differences do not alter the intended use of the device. Collectively, the subject device has the same intended use in cardiac arrhythmia diagnostics as the two predicate devices. Differences in the proposed Indications for Use statement are not critical to the intended use of the device, nor do they affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject device relative to the predicate devices. Therefore, the subject device can be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

{7}------------------------------------------------

#### COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH PREDICATE DEVICES VI. [21CFR708.92(a)(6)]

The proposed indications for use statement for the Zio® QX ECG Monitoring System reflect the same intended use as represented in the cleared Indications for Use statements for the predicate devices. The performance testing results demonstrate that the differences in the technological characteristics between the devices do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness, demonstrating that the subject device is as safe and as effective as the predicate devices. Therefore, the Zio® QX ECG Monitoring System is determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. A comparison table outlining the differences and similarities between the subject device, the Zio® QX ECG Monitoring System, and the predicate devices is provided in Table 1.
