What is Heart Rate Monitor Device Validation at Element?

Regulatory agencies require heart rate monitoring devices to be tested for accuracy in humans. When the entire claimed range cannot be achieved in human studies, devices may be tested via heart rate simulators, such as FDA-cleared ECG simulator and pulse oximetry simulator testing.

What Can Element Offer You For Heart Rate Monitor Device Validation?

Products we test

At Element, we test heart rate monitoring sensors integrated into medical devices, wearable technology, smart watches, and smart devices for personal and healthcare use. These devices are widely used in the healthcare industry to track vital signs during wellness visits, monitor critical illnesses continuously, and indicate the body's response to infection and other medical conditions.

Key tests offered

We provide FDA-cleared ECG simulator testing to measure heart rate over the entire claimed range, plus human clinical validation with FDA-cleared ECG monitors. Our testing delivers numerical heart rate values and complete accuracy determination for regulatory submissions. This comprehensive approach supports both medical device and consumer electronic applications.

Methods and solutions offered

Our approach combines simulator testing with human clinical validation data collection in our laboratory. Using both simulator and human data gives regulatory bodies a more comprehensive view, though it’s not required for regulatory submission – you can choose either approach for your submission. Our comprehensive testing supports devices from development through final validation.

  • FDA-Cleared ECG Simulator Heart Rate Monitor Clinical Validation
    An FDA-cleared ECG simulator is used to measure heart rate across its full range, often exceeding the limits of clinical human testing. The output from this test is a numerical heart rate value.
  • Human Clinical Validation with FDA-Cleared ECG Monitor
    The second method involves collecting heart rate data from humans using an FDA-cleared ECG monitor in a clinical setting. Both simulator and human data are analyzed to determine final accuracy.

Cutting-edge equipment we use

We utilize FDA-cleared ECG simulators and ECG monitors for both simulator-based and human clinical validation testing. This equipment supports testing across your device's entire claimed range for complete validation coverage. Our advanced testing capabilities support both medical and consumer device requirements.
