The zio at ecg ambulatory 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 (symptomatic) and automatically detected (asymptomatic) arrhythmia events are transmitted to an independent diagnostic testing facility (idtf) for monitoring and reporting.After wear, a final report is generated based on beat-to-beat information from the entire ecg recording.Below is a timeline of events supported by data obtained from the subject device: the device was activated on (b)(6) 2022 (and worn for approximately 5.5 days of the 7-day prescribed wear-period.) for four days, the device transmitted 500 transmissions.During these four days, the following md notifications occurred by the idtf.Several mdns and daily reports were provided to the account until the max trigger limit was reached on (b)(6) 2022.Each device will transmit up to 500 asymptomatic cardiac events.This constraint is necessary to preserve battery life for the full intended wear-period.Patient-triggered symptomatic transmissions are still able to be transmitted beyond this limit by pressing the large central button located on the outer device housing.This does not constitute a malfunction of the device as the device is functioning as designed.The account was notified the device was approaching the asymptomatic transmission limit on (b)(6) 2022 and a replacement device was dispatched to the customer overnight on (b)(6) 2022.On (b)(6) 2022, the patient experienced ventricular tachycardia (vt) and syncope.On (b)(6) 2022, the patient contacted irtc and indicated they would not wear the replacement device.The device was received by irtc on (b)(6) 2022.On (b)(6) 2022, after the receipt and analysis of final report data by the prescribing physician who confirmed the patient had been hospitalized (admission date is not known) and stable.Investigation into the reported issue has confirmed that the device did not malfunction.This mdr is being filed due to a retrospective review of complaints per new established criteria for adverse event reporting.The awareness date represents the date this complaint was identified as meeting the new criteria.A follow-up mdr will be submitted should new significant information be obtained relative to this event.
