source quote (p.5)
“KardiaAI is a software library that implements various ECG processing and analysis algorithms. This Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) computes various physiologic parameters from a 30-second ECG and provides these capabilities in the form of an Application Program Interface (API) library.”

Bench

sample size not stated

endpoints: algorithm performance; performance acceptance criteria for AF, NSR, and noise algorithms; performance as intended for bradycardia and tachycardia algorithms

standards: ANSI/AAMI EC57:2012

Reported performance (0 observations)

FDA source did not state a quantitative performance metric — non-reporting is itself the signal.

Each value carries its own analysis unit and task — never compare or pool across devices. Source: 510(k) summary PDF.

Recall and MAUDE counts are product-code-level (reports aren't reliably attributable to one device); a recall is shown as device-attributed only when the recall record itself lists this clearance number. Signals are descriptive observables with sources — never a judgment that the device is unsafe or drifting. Snapshot 2026-07-08.

Reimbursement — how devices like this got paid

Not yet tracked — no payment pathway indexed for this clearance (the reimbursement corpus is a growing seed set).

Applicable FDA guidance — what the submission is measured against

FDA guidance documents and guiding principles applicable to 510(k) AI/ML devices in the Cardiovascular panel. A curated reference index, not legal or regulatory advice — each item states its own status, and a draft is never binding.

Applicability is derived from the device's FDA advisory panel and pathway — cross-cutting guidances apply to every AI/ML device; panel-specific ones are flagged. Titles, dates, and links verified against fda.gov as of July 2026.
