The Tempus Pro is a portable vital signs monitor intended to be used by clinicians and medically qualified personnel, for the attended or unattended monitoring of single or multiple vital signs in clinical and pre-hospital care applications. The device is indicated for: 3-, 4- and 5-lead ECG monitoring; 12-lead ECG recording with interpretation; real-time arrhythmia detection/alarming; QT measurement/alarming; impedance pneumography; non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP); end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) and respiration rate; pulse oximetry (SpO2); contact temperature; and invasive pressure and extended pulse oximetry capability including; carboxyhaemoglobin (SpCO), methaemoglobin (SpMet), total haemoglobin (SpHb) and total oxygen content (SpOC) measurements.
The monitor is intended to be used as a stand-alone monitor or as a telemedicine system (transmitting patient data to other medical professionals located elsewhere).
The device is indicated for adults, paediatrics and neonates.
The monitor can be used to display images from Interson 3.5 MHz General Purpose (GP) and 7.5 MHz Small Parts/ Vascular (SR) USB ultrasound probes or a Karl Storz C-MAC S USB video laryngoscope. These optional accessories are to be used in accordance with their indications for use.
The Tempus Pro Patient Monitor is a multi-parameter vital signs monitoring system designed for use in pre-hospital care and remote clinical locations by trained healthcare professionals. It provides 3-Lead and 5-Lead ECG monitoring, 12-Lead ECG recording, real-time arrhythmia detection and alarming, QT interval measurement and alarming, ST segment measurement and alarming, impedance respiration, pulse oximetry (including Masimo Rainbow® co-oximetry measurements i.e. SpOC, SpHb, SpMet, SpCO, PVI, and PD, noninvasive blood pressure, sidestream capnometry, contact temperature, invasive pressure, and user configurable alarms. Third-party video laryngoscopes and ultrasound probes may also be connected to the device. In addition, it provides the ability to transmit all vital signs data via wired or wireless connections to a telemedicine software system (called i2i) expected to be based in a facility far from the user e.g. a response center facility. As an alternative to i2i response center software, Tempus Pro Monitor also uses IntelliSpace Corsium, which is a web-based software platform for near real-time patient data transfer and two- way communication between healthcare professional. In addition to sending all vital signs, the system can also send pictures or video via an integrated camera, geographic positions by an integrated GPS receiver, and voice via a wired or wireless headset.
Additionally, Tempus Pro has an optional thermal printer, which enables the user to print medical records on-demand and allows other compatible external devices to print medical records as well using the optional thermal printer when paired to the Tempus Pro via a secure 1-to-1 data link called Tempus Data Link (TDL).
The Tempus Pro is provided to the user non-sterile. No accessories manufactured by RDT for use with Tempus Pro are provided sterile. The Tempus Pro does not come into direct or indirect contact with the patient. The Tempus Pro is compatible with 3rd party manufacturer accessories, for which patient contact and sterility requirements are determined by the 3rd party manufacturer.
The provided text describes the acceptance criteria and a study to prove the device meets these criteria for the Tempus Pro Patient Monitor with the addition of the Glasgow Algorithm for 12-lead ECG interpretation.

Study Details
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size for testing the Glasgow Algorithm: 612 known test vectors.
- Data Provenance: The test vectors were "provided by Glasgow University". The document does not specify the country of origin of the data within these test vectors or whether they were retrospectively or prospectively collected.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts used to establish the ground truth for the 612 test vectors provided by Glasgow University. It simply refers to "known reference interpretations."
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
The document does not describe any adjudication method for the test set. The validation relies on comparing the device's output to "known reference interpretations."
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
- No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. The document explicitly states: "No clinical testing was performed."
- This study focuses on the standalone performance and integration of the Glasgow Algorithm, which is an "optional off-the-shelf ECG interpretation algorithm" for the device, rather than its impact on human reader performance.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Yes, a standalone performance evaluation of the Glasgow Algorithm was conducted. The core of the software verification and validation section details how the Glasgow Algorithm's interpretations (when run on Tempus Pro) were compared against "known reference interpretations" using 612 test vectors.
- Additionally, the consistency of the algorithm's output across various display and reporting formats (Tempus Pro display, thermal printer, PDF reports, Intellispace Corsium) was verified.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
The ground truth for the Glasgow Algorithm validation consists of "known reference interpretations" provided by Glasgow University. While the underlying method for establishing these reference interpretations is not detailed, it implies a pre-established clinical gold standard for the specific ECG waveforms in the test vectors.
8. The sample size for the training set:
The document does not provide the sample size for the training set of the Glasgow Algorithm. It states that "Clinical reference data, in the form of recorded ECG databases, were used for initial validation of the Glasgow Algorithm," but no training set size is mentioned.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
The document does not describe how the ground truth for the training set of the Glasgow Algorithm was established. It only broadly states "Clinical reference data, in the form of recorded ECG databases, were used for initial validation of the Glasgow Algorithm."

IV. Device Description
The Tempus Pro Patient Monitor is a multi-parameter vital signs monitoring system designed for use in pre-hospital care and remote clinical locations by trained healthcare professionals. It provides 3-Lead and 5-Lead ECG monitoring, 12-Lead ECG recording, real-time arrhythmia detection and alarming, QT interval measurement and alarming, ST segment measurement and alarming, impedance respiration, pulse oximetry (including Masimo Rainbow® co-oximetry measurements i.e. SpOC, SpHb, SpMet, SpCO, PVI, and PD, noninvasive blood pressure, sidestream capnometry, contact temperature, invasive pressure, and user configurable alarms. Third-party video laryngoscopes and ultrasound probes may also be connected to the device. In addition, it provides the ability to transmit all vital signs data via wired or wireless connections to a telemedicine software system (called i2i) expected to be based in a facility far from the user e.g. a response center facility. As an alternative to i2i response center software, Tempus Pro Monitor also uses IntelliSpace Corsium, which is a web-based software platform for near real-time patient data transfer and two- way communication between healthcare professional. In addition to sending all vital signs, the system can also send pictures or video via an integrated camera, geographic positions by an integrated GPS receiver, and voice via a wired or wireless headset.
Additionally, Tempus Pro has an optional thermal printer, which enables the user to print medical records on-demand and allows other compatible external devices to print medical records as well using the optional thermal printer when paired to the Tempus Pro via a secure 1-to-1 data link called Tempus Data Link (TDL).
The Tempus Pro is provided to the user non-sterile. No accessories manufactured by RDT for use with Tempus Pro are provided sterile. The Tempus Pro does not come into direct or indirect contact with the patient. The Tempus Pro is compatible with 3rd party manufacturer accessories, for which patient contact and sterility requirements are determined by the 3rd party manufacturer.
Reason for Change
This submission is to notify the FDA of our intent to market the Tempus Pro modified by the addition of an optional off-the-shelf ECG interpretation algorithm, known as the Glasgow Algorithm. This off-the-shelf ECG algorithm will be available to the customer as an optional alternative to the ECG interpretation algorithm cleared under the previous 510(k) for Tempus Pro, known as the Louvain Algorithm.
The Glasgow ECG algorithm is being added to the Tempus Pro Monitor to accommodate customer preference. Users already familiar with use of the Glasgow ECG Algorithm on existing alternative devices have expressed interest in availability of Glasgow for the Tempus Pro.
If the user does not choose to purchase the new Glasgow Algorithm option via a software key, the Tempus Pro will continue to provide the 12-Lead ECG Interpretation using the
{6}------------------------------------------------
Louvain Algorithm originally cleared under 510(k) K133988. If the Glasgow Algorithm option is purchased, the Tempus Pro will output 12-lead ECG interpretations from Glasgow only (there is no option to use both 12-lead interpretation algorithms on the same device).
The Glasgow Algorithm is able to provide ECG interpretations for adult, pediatric, and neonate patients, when compared with the Louvain Algorithm that only provides the ECG interpretation for adults. However, the Tempus Pro already includes pediatrics and neonates in its labeled indications.
In addition to providing 12-lead ECG interpretations for adults, pediatric and neonate populations, Glasgow Algorithm is able to consider additional inputs for ECG analysis (e.g. age and sex), and is able provide interpretations under a greater breadth of conditions (e.g. waveforms that include pacemaker signals). However, this modification will not remove or change any other features available on the Tempus Pro device. Addition of the off-the-shelf Glasgow ECG interpretation algorithm will not change the indications for use or intended use for the Tempus Pro. As detailed in Section 13, algorithm validation data supports use of the Glasgow Algorithm in adults, pediatrics, and neonates.
Product Model Numbers
Table 5-1 below lists the Tempus Pro model numbers that are the subject of this 510(k).
| Model Number | Description |
|---|---|
| 00-1004-R | Standard configuration with invasive pressure (2 channels), ETCO2and contact temperature (1 or 2 channels). |
| 00-1007-R | Standard configuration with invasive pressure (2 channels), ETCO2,contact temperature (1 or 2 channels) and Bluetooth headset. |

VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device
The intended use, indications for use, and technology used in the Tempus Pro device remains essentially unchanged by the addition of the Glasgow Algorithm as an optional alternative 12-Lead ECG interpretation algorithm. Table 5-2 below provides a summary of similarities and differences between the modified Tempus Pro that is the subject of this 510(k) and the primary predicate device Tempus Pro cleared per K173768. Table 5-2 (a) provides a summary of similarities between the subject device and the secondary predicate devices specific to 12-Lead ECG interpretation feature.

VII. Performance Data
Software Verification and Validation
Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff-Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submission for Software Contained in Medical Devices (2005). The Software Level of Concern for Tempus Pro Monitor was determined to be Major, since failure or latent flaw in the software could cause harm to the patient indirectly due to a failure or fault in the presentation of data, resulting in delay in treatment or diagnosis.

Electrical Testing
The modification to the device was designed and assessed under design control processes compliant with FDA 21 CFR §820. Non-clinical testing was performed to demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to its predicate. The non-clinical testing performed to assess the addition of the Glasgow Algorithm included compliance with the following:
- IEC 60601-2-25: 2011, Medical Electrical Equipment Part 2-25: Particular Requirements for The Basic Safety and Essential Performance of Electrocardiographs (Clause 201.12.1.101)
Test results confirmed that the acceptance criteria defined by IEC 60601-2-25:2011 was met.
{15}------------------------------------------------
Clinical Testing
No clinical testing was performed. Clinical reference data, in the form of recorded ECG databases, were used for initial validation of the Glasgow Algorithm and integration testing specific to use with Tempus Pro.
Performance Testing not Impacted by Device Modification
As the addition of the Glasgow Algorithm is a software change only, it does not affect any Tempus Pro accessories, including any associated sterilization, biocompatibility, or shelf life testing. Because the user interface remains largely identical, with only an added age/sex warning message and option for either UK or US English interpretation output, it was determined that repeating usability and human factors testing was not necessary.
VIII. Conclusions
The results of the substantial equivalence assessment, taken together with software and electrical testing, demonstrate that the Tempus Pro Patient Monitor with the modifications described in this premarket notification does not raise different questions of substantial equivalence when compared to the predicate devices. The device performs as intended and has performance characteristics that are substantially equivalent to the Tempus Pro Patient Monitor predicate device cleared per K173768 and Infinity CentralStation Wide specific to 12-Lead ECG interpretation cleared per K151860.
