# 1.6 Comparision of Key Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device(s)

# 1.6.1 Gili Pro Biosensor

The Echo-2 is substantially equivalent to the Gili Pro Biosensor [DEN200038].

The Echo-2 (subject device) and the Gili Pro Biosensor (predicate device) have similar intended use, indications for use, fundamental scientific technology, and principles of operation. Both devices utilize optical sensing technology and software algorithms to acquire and analyze motion signals generated by cardiovascular activity to provide a spot-check measurement of heart rate in adult patients under the supervision of healthcare professionals.

Main Differences between Echo-2 and Gili Pro Biosensor

The following technical characteristics in the Echo-2 differ from those in the Gili Pro Biosensor:

- The Echo-2 utilizes laser Doppler vibrometry to measure skin surface motion, whereas the Gili Pro Biosensor uses a camera-based optical sensing approach.
- The Echo-2 displays the processed vibrometer acceleration waveform together with the measured heart rate, allowing qualified healthcare professionals to visually review the recorded physiological signal. The displayed waveform is provided as supplemental information and is not independently interpreted by the device, does not generate additional diagnostic parameters, and does not alter the intended use of the device.
- The Gili Pro Biosensor provides respiratory rate measurements, while the Echo-2 does not provide or claim respiratory rate measurement.

The differences in technological characteristics have been evaluated through performance testing and clinical validation. These evaluations demonstrate that the Echo-2 provides heart rate measurements that are substantially equivalent to the predicate device and that the differences in sensing technology, waveform presentation, and output features do not raise new or different questions of safety or effectiveness. The displayed waveform represents the processed physiological signal used to derive heart rate and serves only as supplemental information for qualified healthcare professionals reviewing the recorded measurement; it does not provide additional automated measurements or clinical interpretations beyond the cleared heart rate output.

### 1.7.8 Clinical Studies

A retrospective clinical performance study was conducted to evaluate the Echo-2 device's heart rate measurement performance and the clinical validity of its underlying laser Doppler vibrometry (LDV)-based sensing principles.

The retrospective study evaluated Echo-2's heart rate measurement performance by comparing LDV-derived heart rate values to electrocardiogram (ECG), a clinically accurate and widely accepted patient-contacting reference standard. The analysis used secondary data from adult participants enrolled in the Cardio Alpha and Dermaflow Alpha clinical investigations and included individuals representative of the intended use population, encompassing a broad range of ages, sexes, cardiovascular health statuses, and skin tones.

Echo-2 demonstrated strong agreement with ECG-derived heart rate measurements. Bland-Altman analysis showed mean bias and limits of agreement within predefined clinically acceptable thresholds, meeting the primary effectiveness endpoint. Deming regression analysis demonstrated slopes and intercepts consistent with equivalence expectations, confirming accurate and reproducible agreement between Echo-2 output and the reference comparator. Subgroup analyses across age, sex, and Fitzpatrick skin type showed no clinically meaningful differences in performance, supporting output consistency across demographic subgroups and expected variations in signal quality encountered in the intended use environment.

This retrospective clinical evaluation demonstrates that Echo-2 produces consistent and reliable heart rate measurements when compared with a clinically accurate patient-contacting reference device. The analyzed dataset is representative of the intended use population, selection criteria and exclusions were predefined and justified, and device output was shown to be consistent across the expected range of patient characteristics and signal conditions encountered in clinical practice.

### 1.8 Conclusions

Based on above discussion and enclosed sections regarding substantial equivalence to the predicate device, Neko Health AB concludes that the Echo-2 is substantially equivalent to its predicate device and does not raise any new or different questions of safety or effectiveness.
