The device does not report any diagnosis but provides numerical values. It is the physician's responsibility to make proper judgments based on these numbers.
Device Story
Finapres NOVA is a desktop noninvasive hemodynamic monitor for professional clinical use. It measures finger arterial blood pressure via an infrared plethysmograph (light source/detector) and finger cuff using the Peñáz arterial volume-clamp method and Wesseling Physiocal criteria. The device computes real-time/beat-to-beat blood pressure and hemodynamic parameters (e.g., cardiac output via Modelflow, total peripheral resistance). Optional modules include ECG, SpO2, and upper-arm blood pressure calibration. Data is displayed for clinician interpretation; the device provides numerical values rather than diagnoses. It benefits patients by enabling continuous hemodynamic monitoring without invasive arterial lines. The system supports 24-hour continuous measurements and includes an optional Height Correction Unit (HCU) for patient movement.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data was required or presented. Substantial equivalence was established through bench testing and adherence to recognized medical device safety and performance standards, including electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and software life cycle processes.

### 4. Description
The Finapres NOVA is an instrument to noninvasively monitor blood pressure and hemodynamic parameters. The Finapres NOVA provides a characterization of the arterial circulation and its beat variability in pressure and flow and in various hemodynamic parameters derived from these pressure and flow signals. The Finapres NOVA has the option to include four additional modules to extend its functionality with ECG and SpO2 measurements, blood pressure calibration and data transfer to and from the device.
The embedded software in the device provides computation of real-time and beat-tobeat blood pressure as well as hemodynamic parameters from the non-invasely measured blood pressure waveform. Hemodynamic parameters include cardiac output based on the modelflow method and total peripheral resistance.
The measurement of blood pressure in a finger is based on the arterial volume-clamp method of the Czech physiologist J. Peñáz, and the Physiocal - physiological calibration criteria for the proper unloading of the finger arteries of K.H. Wesseling. With this method, finger arterial pressure is measured using a finger cuff and an inflatable bladder in combination with an infrared plethysmograph, which consists of an infrared light source and detector.
The SpO2, upper arm calibration and ECG modules used in the Finapres NOVA are commercially available OEM modules that are used in FDA approved systems. The finger blood pressure measurement module used in the system is similar to other Finapres Medical Systems B.V. devices available on the market. The analog input/output module has been developed by Finapres during the Finapres NOVA development.

# 7. Summary of Technical Comparison with predicate devices
The Finapres NOVA is an updated model of the Ohmeda 2350, the Portapres and the Finometer® Model-1 device. As with predicate devices, the Finapres NOVA is indicated for use as a noninvasive blood pressure monitor. The Finapres NOVA is used to provide real-time and on-line monitoring and trending of hemodynamic parameters just as with the Finometer® Model-1 devices.
The Ohmeda 2350 device and the Finometer® Model-1 device have the same indications for use, the same design, and the same methodology as the Finapres NOVA Noninvasive
{7}------------------------------------------------
Hemodynamic Blood Pressure Monitor. The predicate Ohmeda 2350, the Finometer® Model-1 and the Nexfin HD provide the same noninvasive measurement and display of finger arterial blood pressure and pulse rate monitoring as the Finapres NOVA.
The Finapres NOVA consists of the same device architecture as the Finometer® Model-1 and the Nexfin HD.
The Finapres NOVA uses functionally the same embedded software for controlling the measurements as that used in the Finometer® Model-1 and Portapres device. The Finapres NOVA uses the proprietary NOVAScope/Modelflow software program for the measurement and trending of hemodynamic parameters, which is an updated version of the software that was used for data analysis in the Finometer and for the Portapres.
The Finapres NOVA can be equipped, equivalent to the Finometer® Model-1 and Nexfin_HD, with a blood pressure calibration method and does, therefore, allow for the measurement of accurate absolute blood pressure data complying with the AAMI SP10 :2002 and its successor IEC 81060-2:2009. The Finapres NOVA has, similar to the Nexfin_HD and the Finometer® Model-1, an optional Height correction unit (HCU) that allows the patient free hand movement during measurements with the device. The Finapres NOVA has, similar to the Finometer® Model-1, an optional ECG module that provides an analog ECG which is sampled and stored simultaneously with the blood pressure waveform. The Finapres NOVA has, same as the Ohmeda 2350, an optional SpO2 module that provides an SpO2 signal which is sampled and stored simultaneously with the blood pressure waveform. Similar to the Portapres, the Finapres NOVA enables 24 continuous measurements.
The three optional modules are available in the following predicate devices: MOVES, K093261; Nellcor Oximax N-600X Pulse Oximeter, K060576; Zoll M Series with real CPR help, K062537.

Hemodynamic Blood Pressure Monitor. The predicate Ohmeda 2350, the Finometer® Model-1 and the Nexfin HD provide the same noninvasive measurement and display of finger arterial blood pressure and pulse rate monitoring as the Finapres NOVA.
The Finapres NOVA consists of the same device architecture as the Finometer® Model-1 and the Nexfin HD.
The Finapres NOVA uses functionally the same embedded software for controlling the measurements as that used in the Finometer® Model-1 and Portapres device. The Finapres NOVA uses the proprietary NOVAScope/Modelflow software program for the measurement and trending of hemodynamic parameters, which is an updated version of the software that was used for data analysis in the Finometer and for the Portapres.
The Finapres NOVA can be equipped, equivalent to the Finometer® Model-1 and Nexfin_HD, with a blood pressure calibration method and does, therefore, allow for the measurement of accurate absolute blood pressure data complying with the AAMI SP10 :2002 and its successor IEC 81060-2:2009. The Finapres NOVA has, similar to the Nexfin_HD and the Finometer® Model-1, an optional Height correction unit (HCU) that allows the patient free hand movement during measurements with the device. The Finapres NOVA has, similar to the Finometer® Model-1, an optional ECG module that provides an analog ECG which is sampled and stored simultaneously with the blood pressure waveform. The Finapres NOVA has, same as the Ohmeda 2350, an optional SpO2 module that provides an SpO2 signal which is sampled and stored simultaneously with the blood pressure waveform. Similar to the Portapres, the Finapres NOVA enables 24 continuous measurements.
The three optional modules are available in the following predicate devices: MOVES, K093261; Nellcor Oximax N-600X Pulse Oximeter, K060576; Zoll M Series with real CPR help, K062537.
