Example Filled Template

Design Validation Report - CardioPatch CP-2

Validation Objective

Confirm intended users can apply CP-2 and complete 72-hour ambulatory monitoring.

Device Configuration

Validation used CP-2 firmware 1.3.0, label LBL-CP2-010, and IFU IFU-CP2-006.

User Needs Traceability

UN-03 is supported by simulated-use study VAL-CP2-021.

Study Summary

18 participants applied the device without clinician assistance in a simulated home setting.

Results

17 of 18 participants completed application on first attempt.

Risk and Labeling Impact

One observed orientation error requires an IFU image update.

Conclusion

CP-2 meets intended use after completion of the labeling action.
