Intended Use

The Citizen CH-601A and CH-601B digital wrist sphygmomanometers are intended to be used for the oscillometric measurement of systolic blood pressure and pulse. They are intended to be sold over-the-counter.

Device Description

The Citizen Ch-601A and CH-601B digital wrist sphygmomanometers are small handheld noninvasive blood pressure measurement systems that measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse from the user's left wrist. The units are contained in a hard plastic housing that contains a user interface panel and an adjustable wrist cuff. The user interface panel has a power switch, a start switch, and a liquid crystal display ("LCD") for displaying the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse. The device measures blood pressure through the use of an automatically-inflating wrist cuff. The cuff automatically deflates during blood pressure measurement. The only difference between the CH-601A and the CH-601B is that the CH-601B has a memory function which displays the last blood pressure readout (but not the last pulse) when the system is turned on.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text to extract the acceptance criteria and details of the study proving the device's performance:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

Performance MetricAcceptance Criteria (Predicate Device)Reported Device Performance (Citizen CH-601A/B)
Blood Pressure Range0 to 280 mm Hg0 to 280 mm Hg
Blood Pressure AccuracyGreater of ± 3 mm Hg or ± 2% of readingGreater of ± 3 mm Hg or ± 2% of the reading
Pulse Measurement Range40 to 200 pulses/minute40 to 200 pulses/minute
Pulse Measurement Accuracy± 5% of the measured pulse frequency± 5% of the measured pulse frequency

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

The document states, "Citizen submitted laboratory testing data to establish the accuracy of its Sphygmomanometers for comparison to the Omron predicate device." However, it does not specify the sample size used for this test set nor the provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective nature) of the data.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:

The document does not provide information regarding the number of experts used to establish ground truth or their qualifications. Blood pressure measurements are typically compared against a standard reference method (e.g., auscultatory method with a trained observer), but this detail is absent.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

The document does not describe an adjudication method.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not mentioned. The document focuses on the device's standalone accuracy compared to a predicate device.

6. Standalone Performance Study:

Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The document states, "Citizen submitted laboratory testing data to establish the accuracy of its Sphygmomanometers for comparison to the Omron predicate device." This indicates that the device's performance (accuracy for blood pressure and pulse) was directly measured and compared against the stated accuracy of the predicate device (Omron HEM-605).

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

The document implies the ground truth for blood pressure and pulse accuracy was established through laboratory testing, likely by comparing the device's readings against a validated reference method (though the specific method is not detailed). It's not explicitly stated as expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data. Given the nature of blood pressure measurement devices, the ground truth would typically be derived from a validated method of direct physiological measurement.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

The document does not provide any information about a training set or its sample size. This type of device (oscillometric sphygmomanometer) typically relies on established algorithms for signal processing and does not usually involve a "training set" in the machine learning sense for its core function.

9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

As no training set is mentioned for this device, information on how its ground truth was established is not applicable and therefore not provided in the document.

Trade Name:CH-601A and CH-601B Digital Wrist Sphygmomanometers
Common Name:Wrist Sphygmomanometer (blood pressure meter)
Classification Name:Noninvasive blood pressure measuring system, per 21C.F.R. § 870.1130

PREDICATE DEVICES

Omron HEM-605 Digital Wrist Sphygmomanometer (1)

INTENDED USE

The Citizen CH-601A and CH-601B digital wrist sphygmomanometers are intended to be used for the oscillometric measurement of systolic blood pressure and pulse. They are intended to be sold over-the-counter.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Citizen Ch-601A and CH-601B digital wrist sphygmomanometers are small handheld noninvasive blood pressure measurement systems that measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse from the user's left wrist. The units are contained in a hard plastic housing that contains a user interface panel and an adjustable wrist cuff. The user interface panel has a power switch, a start switch, and a liquid crystal display ("LCD") for displaying the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse.

{1}------------------------------------------------

The device measures blood pressure through the use of an automatically-inflating wrist cuff. The cuff automatically deflates during blood pressure measurement. The only difference between the CH-601A and the CH-601B is that the CH-601B has a memory function which displays the last blood pressure readout (but not the last pulse) when the system is turned on.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

Both the Citizen Sphygmomanometers and the Omron predicate device measure the diastolic and systolic blood pressure from the left wrist using oscillometric methods. Both systems are microcomputer controlled, digital, auto-inflate, wrist sphygmomanometers. The Omron predicate device does not have any more memory function.

Like the Omron predicate, the Citizen sphygmomanometers display systolic and diastolic pressure ranges from 0 and 280 mm Hg. Both devices have a blood pressure measurement accuracy of the greater of + 3mm Hg or + 2% of the reading. The pulse measurement range of the Citizen devices and the Omron predicate are also the same, from 40 to 200 pulses/minute. The accuracy of the pulse measurements for both the Citizen devices and the Omron predicate are also the same, from 40 to 200 pulses/minute. The accuracy of the pulse measurements for both the Citizen sphygmomanometers and the Omron predicate device are ± 5% of the measured pulse frequency. Citizen submitted laboratory testing data to establish the accuracy of its Sphygmomanometers for comparison to the Omron predicate device.

Both the Citizen and the Omron devices utilize an auto-inflate wrist cuff system for blood pressure measurement. The Citizen and Omron devices are designed to measure blood pressure and pulse from the left wrist. The wrist cuff for both systems is designed to accommodate wrists with a circumference of between 135 mm and 195 mm. The wrist cuff on the Citizen device and the predicate device are both adjusted by velcro. Inflation of the wrist cuff for the Citizen devices and the Omron predicate are accomplished with an electric pump and pressure is released during deflation by an automatic air-release valve.

The Citizen devices, like the Omron predicate, have a "POWER" switch, a "START" switch, and an LCD display. The operating environment for the Citizen sphygmomanometers and the Omron predicate are also the same: 50°F and 104°F and 30% to 85% relative humidity. Although the Citizen devices use two "LR03" size batteries, the Omron predicate device uses 2 "AAA" batteries. Any minor differences in the appearance, technology, or manufacture of the Citizen devices and the predicate device do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.
