Later product-family features are not evidence that this cleared release includes them.

Interoperability acceptance

Test representative identifiers, orientation, geometry, measurements, units, routing, failure handling, and round trips locally.

Clinical acceptance

Use a signed local test set for the supported population and workflow. Include common and difficult cases, exclusions, acquisition variation, failed or low-quality inputs, reviewer overrides, and downstream effects. The ECG signal is not for monitoring or diagnosis. Care-setting, probe, application, and AI-feature support differ by Venue model and installed release.

Evidence

Performance evidence

Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version. Candidate literature without exact product and version linkage is not shown as product evidence.

Evidence summary
K251322 defines broad applications and release-specific additions including Caption Guidance and probe support. It establishes manufacturer verification, not a universal diagnostic-performance claim across every anatomy and setting.

Safety and lifecycle

Postmarket record

Recall and adverse-event records are shown only after product matching. Adverse-event reports do not establish incidence or causality.

Postmarket safety review
The 2026-09-02 openFDA device-recall snapshot contained no record matched to K251322 by exact submission identifier.

Twenty PubMed records and ten trial records were screened. The PubMed set is dominated by the ordinary word venue, and the trial set is unrelated; none tests an exact K251322 Venue-system release. No evidence was promoted, and all 30 candidates remain quarantined. The current discovery snapshot contains 20 PubMed and 10 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records; its dated, count-matched human screening remains current. Unlinked candidates remain quarantined. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 0 postmarket candidate records; 0 have been reviewed (0 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.

Candidate leads were screened against the exact product and tested version. Unlinked records remain quarantined.
