iRhythm Technologies Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance for Design Updates Previously Made to Its Zio AT Device

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iRhythm Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:IRTC), a leading digital health care company focused on creating trusted solutions that detect, predict, and prevent disease, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted clearance for its 510(k) submission related to prior design changes made to the Zio AT device via letter to file. Zio AT remains commercially available on the market to ship to customers in the United States.

"This clearance is related to modifications and certain enhancements to our Zio AT device previously made via letter to file and has been a priority for our teams to demonstrate iRhythm's commitment to quality, compliance and performance," said Quentin Blackford, iRhythm President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased to have received this first 510(k) clearance in line with the sequence of how we submitted the first of two 510(k)s at the beginning of this year, and we look forward to hearing about our second 510(k) in the near future. Both 510(k) submissions are related to our ongoing remediation efforts with the FDA, and we remain committed to patient safety, physician trust in Zio AT's clinical performance, service quality, and regulatory compliance."

About the Zio AT System

The Zio AT device is a prescription-only outpatient cardiac telemetry device, commonly referred to as a mobile cardiac telemetry device, which is used for the provision of our mobile cardiac telemetry (MCT) services. The Zio AT system consists of: the Zio AT patch, an ECG monitor that continuously records ECG data for up to 14 days; the wireless gateway that provides connectivity between the Zio AT patch and the Zio ECG Utilization Software (ZEUS) to transmit data during the wear period; and ZEUS, iRhythm's deep-learning algorithm that analyzes cardiac events transmitted by the Zio AT device and gateway. The Zio AT services provide event transmission reports during wear and a comprehensive end-of-wear report^1-4 with preliminary findings to the treating medical professional for final clinical decisions. The Zio AT services are provided by iRhythm's independent diagnostic testing facilities located in San Francisco, California, Deerfield, Illinois and Houston, Texas.

Zio Services' Clinically Proven Performance

The value of the Zio service has been demonstrated in over 100 original scientific research manuscripts⁵. Zio AT's patient-centered design enables high patient compliance and analyzable time with minimal noise or artifact^6-8, and real-world data shows an impressive 98% patient compliance⁹, in part thanks to Zio AT's zero required patient manipulations. Furthermore, physicians agree with the Zio service's comprehensive end-of-wear report 99% of the time^10-11.

Zio AT Indications For Use

The Zio AT device is intended to capture and transmit symptomatic and asymptomatic cardiac events and record continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) data for long-term monitoring. 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. It is not intended for use on critical care patients.

Contraindications

• Do not use the Zio AT device for patients with symptomatic episodes where variations in cardiac performance could result in immediate danger to the patient or when real-time or in-patient monitoring should be prescribed.
• Do not use the Zio AT device for patients with known history of life-threatening arrhythmias.
• Do not use the Zio AT device in combination with external cardiac defibrillators or high frequency surgical equipment near strong magnetic fields or devices such as MRI.
• Do not use the Zio AT device on patients with a neuro-stimulator, as it may disrupt the quality of ECG data.
• Do not use the Zio AT device on patients who do not have the competency to wear the device for the prescribed monitoring period.
