USABILITY TESTING

Usability Testing was provided in accordance with the FDA Guidance Document, "Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Medical Devices- Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff" (issued February 02, 2016).

{4}------------------------------------------------

Sixty (60) participants participated in the human factors validation study to demonstrate the usability of the blood pressure monitor. The testing was performed in a simulated-use environment associated with self-selecting, setting up, and using the blood pressure monitor. All subjects responded to critical tasks by responding to the output of the monitor.

Testing identified critical tasks as those tasks where the user does not understand the output from the device, fails to seek medical care despite symptoms or modifies their treatment plan based on the output. Each task was assessed for completion and success criteria were clearly defined. Overall, usability testing demonstrated that the AFib Detection Feature is safe and has appropriate performance for the intended users, uses, and use environments.

SUMMARY OF CLINICAL INFORMATION

The study objective is to assess the AFib classification performance of OMRON BPMs with the AFib Detection Feature. The performance of the BPM-A (OMRON BPM with cuff HEM-FL31: BP7460) and BPM-B (OMRON BPM with cuff HEM-RML31: BP5460) was evaluated by sensitivity and specificity as calculated by comparing output data of the subject devices to ground truth. Ground truth for AFib identification was established from ECG adjudication performed by multiple independent expert adjudicators.

Methods

The overall study was a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center study. The study enrolled 267 subjects with and 292 without a known diagnosis of atrial fibrillation into two separate cohorts. Key exclusion criteria included the presence of a pacemaker or implantable cardioverterdefibrillator, heart failure class III or IV, and arterio-venous shunt. Subjects in the without cohort must not have any known diagnosis of AF. To be enrolled in the AF cohort, the subject must be in atrial fibrillation at the time of data collection.

Upon enrollment, the participant had the 12-lead ECG electrodes applied by the Investigator, and participants used the requisite cuff of the Omron BP Monitor with AFib screening on their upper arm. Then the participant would sit in a chair with their feet on the floor, rest their arm on a table so that the cuff is same level as their heart. Lastly, the investigator started the 12-lead ECG recording device and Omron monitor simultaneously. The participant was coached to remain still and do not talk until the measurement process was complete.

Three independent board-certified cardiologists reviewed all ECG recordings and assigned a classification of "Interpretable" or "Uninterpretable" classification means that it is difficult to perform interpretation of AFib due to low signal quality in the ECG reading. If the ECG is "Interpretable", the adjudicators classified the ECG readings into "AFib is observed (AFib)" or "AFib is not observed (non-AFib)". If "AFib is observed (AFib)", the adjudicator will indicate which ECG Lead(s) the AFib is observed. If the readers disagreed on the diagnosis, the final interpretation was determined by the simple majority rule.

Results

Subject characteristics

The study enrolled a total of 573 subjects at 5 investigational sites. Subject disposition is provided in Figure 4.

Image /page/5/Figure/9 description: The image is a flowchart titled "Figure 3" that shows the flow of subjects through a study. The study started with 654 subjects screened, and 80 screen failures and 1 withdrawal resulted in 573 subjects enrolled. 14 subjects were excluded from mITT due to protocol deviations, device deficiency, and ECG interpretation issues, resulting in 267 subjects in the mITT subpopulation AFib and 292 subjects in the mITT subpopulation Non-AFib.

The median age was 69 years, ranging from 22-93. Comparing to the Non-Affb cohort, subjects in the AFib cohort were older (mean age 73.0 vs 57.4) and less likely to be female (32.2% vs 67.1%).

{6}------------------------------------------------

There were 14 cases excluded from the study and their subject information included:

  • . Three (3) cases where the quality of the ECG waveform was poor, and the reader was not confident in interpreting them.
  • One (1) case where measurement was not possible due to device deficiency in the ECG . device.
  • Four (4) cases of protocol deviation where BP measurement was not performed. ●
  • . Four (4) cases of protocol deviation where ECG data was missing.
  • One (1) case of protocol deviation where the subject was a patient with an implanted ● pacemaker.
  • . One (1) case of protocol deviation of inappropriate cuff size.

The results indicate that the study met the protocol specified primary endpoint as shown below.

BENEFIT-RISK DETERMINATION

The device is a digital monitor intended for use in analyzing pulse pressure wave data captured during the user's blood pressure measurement to identify episodes of AFib and provides a notification on the display screen to the user. As a blood pressure cuff, there is a possibility of bruising, due to blood flow interference. Overall, there are minimal safety concerns.

The risks of the device include unnecessary medical attention, over-reliance on the device outputs, and misinterpretation of the device output. A false positive result can lead to additional unnecessary medical procedures, which uses unnecessary medical resources leading to the clinician's workload being disrupted. A false negative result may falsely reassure the user and cause delay or inappropriate changes in medical evaluation and treatment. There is a potential risk of a patient self-adjusting AF treatments.

For asymptomatic undiagnosed AF patients, the device's probable benefit is to provide early detection of the disease. The device can identify AF with high sensitivity and specificity with an easy to use, familiar device to most patients, while obtaining blood pressure data.

Overall, the probable benefits outweigh the probable risks given the available information. There is reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness for this device for the intended use.
