Input consists of acoustic signals from cuff; processed via microcontroller firmware (v1.05) and software algorithms including automatic microphone gain control, dynamic pulse detection, and pulse proximity evaluation. Output displayed on PC screen; provides clinical data for provider decision-making. Benefits include automated, accurate blood pressure monitoring and digital record-keeping. Hardware updates include bayonet-style air connector, Lee deflation valve, and improved EMC protection.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Compliance verified against IEC/EN 60601-1 (safety), IEC/EN/UL 60601-1-2 (EMC), ISO 10993-1 (biocompatibility), and ANSI/AAMI SP10:2002 (sphygmomanometer performance). No clinical trial data presented.
Technological Characteristics
Non-invasive auscultatory sphygmomanometer. Components: PCMCIA card, microphone (medical grade ABS plastic), blood pressure cuff, dual lumen tubing. Energy: AC/DC. Connectivity: PC-based (Windows). Software: Firmware v1.05. Standards: AAMI SP10:2002, IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 10993-1. Features: Automatic microphone gain control, dynamic pulse detection, pulse proximity evaluation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for non-invasive measurement of systolic/diastolic blood pressure and heart rate in adult male/female patients. Prescription use only. Contraindications: None stated.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A noninvasive blood pressure measurement system is a device that provides a signal from which systolic, diastolic, mean, or any combination of the three pressures can be derived through the use of tranducers placed on the surface of the body.

Dear Ms. Jensen:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Page 2 -- Ms. Mary Kay Jensen
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements nft he Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
