(303 days)
The ivWatch Model 400 is indicated for the detection of subcutaneous infiltrations and extravasations of 10 cc or less of optically clear infusates, as an adjunctive device to the clinical evaluation in the healthcare setting of adults and pediatrics with peripherally-inserted catheters (PIVs). The device is indicated to assess patients for subcutaneous infiltrations and extravasations but should not serve as a substitute for regular clinician assessment of the PIV site. The ivWatch Model 400 is intended for use by healthcare practitioners who have been trained in the use of the device.
The predicate device (K162478), the ivWatch® Model 400, consists of the ivWatch® Patient Monitor, a reusable Fiber Optic Sensor Cable and a single-use sterile Sensor Receptacle. The subject device includes the addition of Device Accessories to the ivWatch® Model 400 including an Extension Module, reusable Patient Cable and a single-use electronic SmartTouch™ Sensor. The Device Accessories expand the current ivWatch® Model 400 architecture to support the reusable Fiber Optic Sensor (predicate device) and an electronic single-use sterile SmartTouch™ Sensor (subject device). Both the predicate and subject device provide continuous, non-invasive monitoring of human tissue adjacent to peripheralintravenous (PIV) insertion sites to aid in the early detection of infiltration and extravasation events.
The ivWatch® Model 400 with Device Accessories uses visible and near-infrared light to measure changes in the optical properties of the tissue near a PIV insertion site. Light signals generated by the SmartTouch™ Sensor are sent to the patient's tissue near an PIV site. Changes to the light signals are received by the SmartTouch™ Sensor and electrical signals are transferred through the Patient Cable to the Extension Module where embedded software analyzes the data to determine whether conditions indicate that an infiltration event may have occurred. The information is then sent from the Extension Module to the ivWatch® Patient Monitor for display. If changes in the diffuse reflectance in the tissue near the PIV site are consistent with an infusate pooling in the subcutaneous tissue, the ivWatch® Patient Monitor emits audible and visual notifications intended to prompt the clinician to inspect the peripheral IV site for a possible infiltration event.
The provided text describes the performance data for the ivWatch Model 400 with Device Accessories, focusing on its ability to detect infiltrations and extravasations.

Study Details
-
Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: The document mentions "series of five verification and two validation IRB-approved clinical studies." However, specific patient numbers for these studies are not provided.
- For the non-infiltrated tissue study, it states "6 false red notifications in 922 hours" and "8 false yellow notifications in 922 hours." This suggests the "922 hours" represents the cumulative observation time across participants in that specific validation study. The number of individual patients or IV sites contributing to these hours is not specified.
- For the infiltrated tissue study, it reports "99.0% (97/98)" detection, indicating that 98 infiltration events were analyzed in this validation study. It doesn't specify if these 98 events came from 98 different patients or multiple events from fewer patients.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but implied to be prospective clinical studies conducted for the device development and validation. The country of origin is not specified but given the FDA submission, it is likely that parts of these studies, or at least the analysis, were conducted in the US or in a manner compliant with US regulatory guidelines.
- Test Set Sample Size: The document mentions "series of five verification and two validation IRB-approved clinical studies." However, specific patient numbers for these studies are not provided.
-
Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:
- The document does not provide details on the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth for the clinical studies. It mentions the device should be used as "an adjunctive device to the clinical evaluation" and "should not serve as a substitute for regular clinician assessment." This implies that clinical evaluation by healthcare practitioners would be the reference for ground truth on infiltration events, but no specific team or panel of experts is described for this purpose in the context of the study's ground truth establishment.
-
Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- No specific adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) is mentioned for establishing the ground truth of infiltration events in the clinical studies. The reliance on "clinical evaluation" suggests standard clinical practice for identifying infiltrations.
-
Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
- No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was mentioned. The study focuses on the device's standalone performance in detecting infiltrations rather than its impact on human reader performance. This device is described as an "adjunctive device" meant to provide alerts, not to replace human assessment, so a human-in-the-loop MRMC study might not be directly relevant to its primary function or regulatory pathway.
-
Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance:
- Yes, the performance data provided appears to be for the standalone performance of the algorithm and device. The device itself emits notifications (audible and visual) based on its internal analysis of optical signals. The reported percentages and volumes (e.g., 99.0% detection, average 2.13 mL for red notifications) refer to the device's direct output, not its interaction with a human reader's interpretation.
-
Type of Ground Truth Used:
- The ground truth for infiltration events appears to be based on clinical evaluation of actual or simulated infiltrations in patients. The document refers to "early stage infiltrations" and "infiltrated saline," suggesting direct observation or controlled induction of infiltrations confirmed by clinical signs, rather than solely pathology or outcomes data.
-
Sample Size for the Training Set:
- The document does not provide a specific sample size for the training set. It mentions "a series of five verification and two validation IRB-approved clinical studies were performed for the development and validation." This implies that data from some of these studies (likely verification studies) might have been used for development and refinement of the device's algorithms, which would include training. However, explicit training set details are missing.
-
How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
- Similar to the test set, the method for establishing ground truth for any potential training data is not explicitly detailed. Given the nature of the device and its function, it can be inferred that ground truth was established through clinical observation and assessment by healthcare professionals of IV sites. This would involve noting when an infiltration occurred, confirming it, and correlating it with the device's readings.

7.3 Predicate Device
7.4 Device Description
The predicate device (K162478), the ivWatch® Model 400, consists of the ivWatch® Patient Monitor, a reusable Fiber Optic Sensor Cable and a single-use sterile Sensor Receptacle. The subject device includes the addition of Device Accessories to the ivWatch® Model 400 including an Extension Module, reusable Patient Cable and a single-use electronic SmartTouch™ Sensor. The Device Accessories expand the current ivWatch® Model 400 architecture to support the reusable Fiber Optic Sensor (predicate device) and an electronic single-use sterile SmartTouch™ Sensor (subject device). Both the predicate and subject device provide continuous, non-invasive monitoring of human tissue adjacent to peripheralintravenous (PIV) insertion sites to aid in the early detection of infiltration and extravasation events.
The ivWatch® Model 400 with Device Accessories uses visible and near-infrared light to measure changes in the optical properties of the tissue near a PIV insertion site. Light signals generated by the SmartTouch™ Sensor are sent to the patient's tissue near an PIV site. Changes to the light signals are received by the SmartTouch™ Sensor and electrical signals are transferred through the Patient Cable to the Extension Module where embedded software analyzes the data to determine whether conditions indicate that an infiltration event may have occurred.

80 Hofstadter Road, Suite 300 Newport News,
7.5 Intended Use
The ivWatch Model 400 is intended to aid in the detection of infiltrations and extravasations during peripheral IV infusion therapy in pediatric and adult patients. The user profile is healthcare practitioners who are experienced in IV administration and management and located at hospitals and similar medical care facilities.
The intended use of the subject device is the same as the predicate (K162478).
7.6 Indications for Use
The ivW atch Model 400 is indicated for the detection of subcutaneous infiltrations and extravasations of 10 cc or less of optically clear infusates, as an adjunctive device to the clinical evaluation in the healthcare setting of adults and pediatics with peripherally inserted catheters (PIVs). The device is indicated to assess patients for the subcutaneous infiltrations and extravasations but should not serve as a substitute for reqular clinician assessment of the PIV site. The ivW atch Model 400 is intended for use by healthcare practitioners who have been trained in the use of the device.
The indications for use of the subject device is the same as the predicate (K162478).
7.7 Comparison of the Subject Device to the Predicate Devices
The subject device (ivWatch® Model 400 Device Accessories) is a modification to the legally marketed ivWatch® Model 400. The subject device expands the functionality of the ivWatch® Model 400 (predicate) with the addition of three device accessories: Extension Module, Patient Cable and SmartTouch™ Sensor. The subject and predicate devices have the same technological characteristics, intended use and indications for use.
The subject and predicate devices share the same technological elements:
- . Sensor is placed near the IV insertion site to emit optical signals and detect changes in the diffuse reflectance of the tissue.
- . The optical signals emitted and detected by the sensor are visible and nearinfrared light signals.
- . The optical signal received by the sensor is altered if the IV fluid accumulates in the tissue surrounding the intended intravenous administration route underneath the sensor.
- . The reflected optical signal from the tissue is sent back to the device for analysis by ivWatch's algorithm to determine if an infiltration may have occurred.
- . Software in the Patient Monitor controls the user interface including the issuance of audible and visual notifications for a possible infiltration event.

Image /page/6/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for "ivWatch". The logo consists of a stylized black teardrop shape with the letters "iv" inside, with the "i" being dotted with small squares. To the right of the teardrop is the word "Watch" in a cursive font. The logo is simple and modern, and the use of the teardrop shape suggests a connection to fluids or liquids.
The following technical differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:
- . The subject device has the optical components at the SmartTouch™ Sensor head while the predicate device has the optical componentsin the Patient Monitor.
- . Light is generated and detected in the subject device SmartTouch™ Sensor head while the predicate device light generation and detection is at the Patient Monitor.
- . Electrical signals are transmitted to and from the SmartTouch™ Sensor head through the Patient Cable to the Extension Module for signal processing. The predicate device light signals are transmitted through the Fiber Optic Sensor Cable to the patient's skin and simultaneously reflected light signal from the patient's skin are transmitted back to the Patient Monitor for data analysis.
- . The patient contacting SmartTouch™ Sensor (subject) is dimensionally smaller than the Sensor Receptacle (predicate).
- . The predicate device uses fiber optics to transmit the signal, while the subject devices uses an electronic signal.

7.8.5.2 Clinical Studies
A series of series of five verification and two validation IRB-approved clinical studies were performed for the development and validation of the modified ivWatch® Model 400 with Device Accessories.
The device validation for non-infiltrated tissue study showed a false notification was recorded once every 6.29 days, on average (6 false red notifications in 922 hours) and a false yellow notification wasissued once every 4.78 days, on average (8 false yellow notifications in 922 hours).
In the Device Validation for Infiltrated Tissue study, the SmartTouch issued red and yellow notifications for 99.0% (97/98, 95% confidence interval: 94.5% to 100.0%) of early stage infiltrations. The infiltration rate was selected from a range extending from 5 ml/hr to 150 ml/hr. An analysis of the detected volume indicated the SmartTouch sensor issued red and yellow notifications at an average of 2.13 mL and 2.02 mL of infiltrated saline, respectively.
There were no new safety issues identified and no adverse events during any of the verification and validation clinical studies.
