The summary describes the device as using an optical system and firmware for data processing to correlate changes in reflected light patterns with heart and respiratory rates. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms like neural networks or deep learning in the device description, intended use, or performance study sections. The analysis is described as "Analysis of these patterns through the software application correlate with heart and respiratory rates," which suggests a more traditional signal processing approach rather than AI/ML.
No
The device is described as capturing motion-vibration signals for assessment of physiological information like heart rate and respiratory rate, which is for diagnostic or monitoring purposes, not for treating or alleviating a disease or condition.
No
The device is intended to capture motion-vibration signals for the assessment of physiological information like heart rate and respiratory rate, which are vital signs. It does not state that it is used to diagnose a medical condition or disease. The "Indications for Use" section doesn't mention diagnosis directly but focuses on measuring physiological information.
No
The device description explicitly states it includes an "optical sensing unit" which is an aluminum enclosure housing hardware components like a battery, illuminating optics, digital image sensor, and range meter. While it uses a software application on a mobile unit, it is not solely software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
- Gili Pro BioSensor Function: The Gili Pro BioSensor works by illuminating the surface of the body (specifically the chest area) and capturing reflected light patterns to assess physiological information like heart rate and respiratory rate. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
The device is a non-invasive physiological monitoring device that uses optical sensing to measure vital signs directly from the body's surface. This falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

Device Description
The Gili Pro BioSensor is an optical system consisting of a sensing unit and a mobile unit with a preinstalled software application. The optical sensing unit is an aluminum enclosure which houses a lithium ion battery, illuminating optics (laser projector and laser pointer), digital image sensor, range meter, and firmware to facilitate data processing. The illuminating optics are based on eye-safe lasers which are compliant with Class I laser product accessible emission limits. The sensing unit is connected via a USB cable to a mobile unit on which the mobile application is installed.
The system illuminates the subject via a low-powered near infra-red (NIR at ~780 nm) light beam while an image sensor module captures the back reflected light pattern by the light sensor. The laser pointer illuminates in the visible spectrum (~650 nm) to facilitate proper positioning of the sensor relative to the subject. Changes in the reflected light pattern are coupled with motions of the illuminated surface, which are affected by heart and breathing motions. Analysis of these patterns through the software application correlate with heart and respiratory rates, as part of vital signs assessment. The heart and respiratory rate values are displayed on the user interface of the mobile unit.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
The clinical performance study design was two-phase trial with 10 subjects in the pilot phase and 120 in the main, pivotal study. Patient recruitment was stratified by nonarrhythmia/arrhythmia subjects and included a variety of chest shapes (i.e. barrel-chested/COPD subjects), BMIs (31% of subjects considered obese), ages (range of 29 – 93 years), and a distribution of light and dark skin colors as measured by the Fitzpatrick scale.
Heart rate was compared to the gold standard reference ECG to determine heart rate and presence of arrhythmia. Respiratory rate was compared to clinician over-scored capnography.

Secondary confirmatory analysis found that the device meets the pre-specified criteria for comparison to ECG heart rate in the broader population, including individuals with arrhythmias. The secondary endpoint analysis determined an intercept of (b) (4) confidence interval of (b) (4) This result was within the range of the pre-specified acceptance criteria of (b) (4) bpm. Supportive analysis comparing the heart rate of the Gili Pro BioSensor to an additional PPG reference device demonstrated the device's equivalence. Lastly, poolability and covariate analyses found no notable covariate effects.
With respect to safety outcomes, no adverse events were reported during the trial period, which was expected given the contactless nature of the device.

The Gili Pro BioSensor has a Moderate Level of Concern (LOC). Appropriate documentation was provided to support the validation of the software for a Moderate LOC in accordance with FDA's 2005 guidance titled, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The sponsor provided details on how the software algorithm measures heart and respiratory rate. The workflow and software handling of hardware error or failures were demonstrated.

PERFORMANCE TESTING - BENCH
Non-clinical performance testing was conducted to verify device performance across the intended range of heart and respiratory rates for values beyond what was observed in the clinical study. A modified manikin was used to simulate chest motion-vibrations of heart sounds and gross chest movements. Verification of manikin outputs were performed using reference devices. This testing included situations with extreme heart and breathing frequencies and different environmental conditions (clothing color, clothing layers, lighting conditions, etc.) Combinations of various conditions were tested to simulate worse-case scenarios. Mixed model estimates show that the heart rate and respiratory rate measurements met acceptance criteria of (b) (4) for heart rate and b) (4) reaths per minute (BrPM) for respiratory rate. Repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) testing was performed using the manikin test-rig to demonstrate that the device provides consistent measurements regardless of operator. Results of the R&R testing showed a mean nifference between devices aross all reference values of (b) (4) indicating strong repeatability and reproducibility for both heart rate and re atory rate measurements.

BENEFIT-RISK DETERMINATION
The risks of the device are based on data collected in a clinical study described above.
The consequences of an incorrect reading would be a delay in the provision of care or unnecessary testing. The patient could suffer harm from the delay in providing care. However, the device has been validated to have clinically acceptable accuracy and the probability of a patient harm related to false results is minimum.
The probable benefits of the device are also based on data collected in a clinical study as described above.
The device can provide benefit as heart rate and respiratory rate values are obtained without personal contact with a healthcare worker. Remote monitoring provided by the device can minimize personnel exposure to the patient, reducing the risk of transmission of bacteria and other infectious agents. In addition, contactless data collection provides the opportunity for patient monitoring without contributing to patient discomfort from electrode pads typically attached to the patient.
The Gili Pro BioSensor provides comparable accuracy to other monitoring methods. Results were also assessed when specifically including patients experiencing arrhythmias and performance remained consistent. For basic vital sign monitoring in these settings, there is a high likelihood that the Gili Pro BioSensor device can offer significant advantages over existing alternatives.
