GE CRITIKON blood pressure cuffs are accessories used in conjunction with noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurement systems. The RADIAL-CUF is intended for use with automated oscillometric NIBP devices to measure radial arterial pressure on the forearm. The RADIAL-CUF is available in adult size only. The device is non-sterile and is semi-disposable (may be single-patient use or optional limited reuse). The cuff is intended for use in patients whose upper arm circumference is greater than 40cm or in patients where currently marketed GE CRITIKON upper arm cuffs cannot be used, due to excess width of the cuff or conical shape of the upper arm. The forearm cuff is intended to be placed on the patient's forearm with circumference ranging from 26cm -36cm. The devices are not designed, sold or intended for use except as indicated.
The RADIAL-CUF is a Non-Invasive Blood Pressure cuff that incorporates an inflatable non-distensible bladder, sized to encircle a patient's forearm. Connection tubing allows air to flow in and out of the cuff for inflation and deflation. Inflation allows for the occlusion of the Radial artery. The RADIAL-CUF facilitates the measurement of automated non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP).
Here's a summary of the acceptance criteria and study detailed in the provided 510(k) K123996 for the RADIAL-CUF Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Cuff:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2:2009 Standard for NIBP Accuracy | The GE CRITIKON RADIAL-CUF meets the ISO 81060-2 accuracy standards. |
| Specifically, the study compared noninvasive systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressures to invasive data using the requirements detailed in the ISO 81060-2 standard. | The results demonstrate success for both the DASH 4000 with SuperSTAT NIBP algorithm and the CARESCAPE V100 with Classic NIBP algorithm when used with the RADIAL-CUF. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the exact sample size for the clinical study. It mentions "a set of studies using the new cuff design was undertaken using subjects who fit the special population demographic requirements."
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated.
- Data Provenance: Prospective clinical testing. The country of origin is not specified but implicitly in the US, as it's a US FDA submission. The study aimed to measure NIBP in "special populations."
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
Not applicable. The ground truth was established by direct physical measurement (invasive radial arterial blood pressure), not by expert opinion.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. The ground truth was established by direct physical measurement (invasive radial arterial blood pressure), not by expert consensus or adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No, an MRMC study was not done. The study focused on the accuracy of the device itself against invasive measurements, and on comparing the new cuff to a marketed upper arm cuff used on the forearm. It did not involve multiple human readers evaluating cases with and without AI assistance.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
Yes, a standalone performance evaluation was conducted. The study assessed the accuracy of the RADIAL-CUF combined with two different GE NIBP algorithms (SuperSTAT and Classic NIBP) against invasive blood pressure measurements. This evaluates the device-algorithm combination's performance without direct human interpretation influencing the measurement itself beyond initial cuff placement and device operation.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used was invasive radial arterial blood pressure. This was collected continuously using a GE DASH 4000 device.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not report on a training set size. This submission describes a medical device (a blood pressure cuff) and its performance, implying an evaluation of its accuracy and function with existing NIBP algorithms. It does not detail the development or training of a new AI algorithm for NIBP measurement. The NIBP algorithms (SuperSTAT and Classic NIBP) referenced were pre-existing.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As no training set for a new AI algorithm is discussed, this information is not applicable.

Device: Trade Name: RADIAL-CUF Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Cuff
Common/Usual Name: Blood Pressure Cuff
Classification Names: Blood Pressure Cuff
DXQ Product Code: Predicate Device(s): K120125 Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Cuffs
Device Description: The RADIAL-CUF is a Non-Invasive Blood Pressure cuff that incorporates an inflatable non-distensible bladder, sized to encircle a patient's forearm. Connection tubing allows air to flow in and out of the cuff for inflation and deflation. Inflation allows for the occlusion of the Radial artery. The RADIAL-CUF facilitates the measurement of automated non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP).
Intended Use: Indirect measurement of blood pressure.
Technology:
The RADIAL-CUF is based on the cleared SOFT-CUF product line (K120125). Traditional NIBP Cuffs utilize a bladder that is rectangular in shape, to accommodate a limb generally of cylindrical form. The RADIAL-CUF utilizes a bladder of arc form, to accommodate the generally conical shape of the forearm. Cuff materials, tubing and connectors used are identical to those used on the cleared SOFT-CUF product line. The RADIAL-CUF employs the same fundamental scientific technology as its predicate devices.

Summary of Clinical Tests:
To better measure noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) in special populations, GE Healthcare has designed a new cuff, the GE CRITIKON RADIAL-CUF, for use on the adult forearm. To provide evidence that this new cuff performs properly, a set of studies using the new cuff design was undertaken using subjects who fit the special population demographic requirements.
The first objective for this study was to test the accuracy of the measurements taken with the new cuff on the forearm using the corresponding radial artery as the reference. Two GE Healthcare devices, the GE DASH 4000 with SuperSTAT (NIBP) algorithm and CARESCAPE V100 with Classic NIBP algorithm, were used for the study. The ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2:2009 standard was used as the basis for analysis. The second objective was to evaluate the accuracy of the NIBP measurements using a marketed upper arm cuff used on the forearm.
The DASH 4000 was used for collecting the continuous invasive radial arterial blood pressure and ECG waveform. The DASH 4000 and CARESCAPE V100 collected the NIBP values using the forearm cuff. The noninvasive systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressures were compared to the invasive data using the requirements detailed in the ISO 81060-2 standard. The forearm data for each of the two NIBP devices were analyzed independently as separate ISO 81060-2 studies. The data comparing the NIBP results using the non-radial marketed SOFT-CUF on the forearm was also analyzed independently from the forearm cuff data.
The results demonstrate that the GE CRITIKON RADIAL-CUF meets the ISO 81060-2 accuracy standards using the DASH 4000 with SuperSTAT NIBP algorithm and the CARESCAPE V100

with Classic NIBP algorithm. The non-radial marketed SOFT-CUF applied to the forearm failed to meet the ISO 81060-2 accuracy standards, as it did not provide accurate radial artery referenced NIBP results when used on the forearm.
In summary, the GE CRITIKON RADIAL-CUF provides accurate radial artery referenced NIBP measurements using GE automatic NIBP devices
Conclusion:
GE Healthcare considers the RADIAL-CUF NIBP cuff to be as safe, as effective, and performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
