Heart Rate Monitor Device Validation
Meet regulatory requirements with comprehensive heart rate monitor validation that combines FDA-cleared simulator testing and human clinical validation. Our turnkey solutions test your device's full claimed range while our regulatory experts guide you through the approval process.

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?

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
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.
