Image /page/6/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Medicomp. The logo consists of a blue and red intertwined heart shape on the left, followed by the word "MEDICOMP" in blue, bold letters. Underneath the word, there is a red line, and below that, the text "Advancing diagnostic cardiology since 1981" is written in a smaller, lighter blue font.

### B. Technological Characteristics

The ECG analysis, Diogenes, remains the same. The version of Diogenes in the subject device is the same version of Diogenes in the predicate, Epicardia 5000.

The user interface is the same, the predicate and the subject device applications run on a personal computer. Both the predicate and the subject device are a Microsoft Windows based interface. The predicate device, Epicardia 5000 presents patient data from a workflow perspective, as does the subject device, Epicardia Anywhere.

Both the predicate and the subject device use the same interface options: TCP/IP, Trans-telephonic, Cellular, Direct, USB and file based interfaces.

The operating system in both the predicate and subject device remains the same, using a Microsoft Windows based application. The main technological difference between the two devices is the environment in which the server is located. The predicate device, Epicardia 5000, uses a desktop-based application. The subject device, Epicardia Anywhere, uses the Azure-cloud based server with a core processor.

The EC38 Type is not applicable for Epicardia Anywhere because it is solely a software system. The unique patient ID is changed from limited to unlimited. The server side software is changed from 16 bit to 64 bit. The predicate and subject devices both present consecutive ECG of 24 hours to 30 days in workflow.

The Technological Characteristics are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

#### C. Comparison between Subject and Predicate Device

This device is similar in design and construction, and has the same indications for use and performance characteristics to the predicate device.
