Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEM), a leader in artificial
intelligence and precision medicine, today announced it has
received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for its Tempus ECG-AF device that uses AI to
help identify patients who may be at increased risk of atrial
fibrillation/flutter (AF). This is the first FDA clearance for an
AF indication in the category known as “cardiovascular machine
learning-based notification software” and paves the way for
physicians to use this innovative algorithm in the care of their
patients.
AF, a common cause of stroke, affects millions of people and can
be challenging to diagnose. This clearance solidifies Tempus’
innovative approach to offering physicians AI-based clinical
solutions that support the potential for earlier identification of
cardiovascular disease and conditions. ECG-AF is the first of a
suite of next generation diagnostics that Tempus has designed to
identify patients at risk for a variety of cardiovascular
conditions.
“We believe that there are too many patients who die from
AF-related causes unnecessarily due to underdiagnosis or
undertreatment,” said Brandon Fornwalt, MD, PhD, Senior Vice
President of Cardiology at Tempus. “The clearance of Tempus ECG-AF
allows us to better support clinicians in potentially finding
patients much earlier, when treatments can be more effective.”
The Tempus ECG-AF algorithm is intended for use to analyze
recordings of 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) devices and detect
signs associated with a patient experiencing AF within the next 12
months. It is for use on resting 12-lead ECG recordings collected
at a healthcare facility from patients 65 years of age or older who
do not have a known history of AF or other specified conditions.
The device provides clinicians with results that should be
interpreted in conjunction with other diagnostic information,
including the patient’s original ECG recordings and other tests, as
well as the patient’s symptoms and clinical history. Tempus ECG-AF
does not describe a person’s overall risk of experiencing AF and
should not serve as the sole basis for diagnosis of AF. Results
should not be used as the basis for treatment of AF and are not
intended to rule out AF follow-up.
