Intended Use
The device is used to provide data to qualified medical personnel or trained users for the purpose of assessing the patient's cardiac health via blood pressure readings taken during daily activity for up to a 48-hour period. Measurements of systolic, diastolic, and heart rate are made and stored. The device can also be used to provide blood pressure and heart rate data in single measurement mode. The device is also intended to provide preliminary blood pressure data from ambulatory patients for non-time critical applications only. It is for use in hospitals, clinics or physicians offices by a qualified physician or trained staff member under the supervision of that physician. It is also intended for home care use by a trained patient with periodic health consultations from his or her physician. Patient diagnosis is not to be performed solely based on the results of this device.
Device Description
The Model PIESOMETER MK-1 Digital Blood Pressure Monitor measures systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate using adaptive interference cancellation (signal processing) technologies. The system employs three acoustic sensors (i.e. microphones) in the electronic pressure cuff. During a blood pressurement, two acoustic sensors are placed in the traditional location on the patient's biceps. This set of sensors, operating much like a conventional stethoscope, senses the Korotkoff sounds. Unique to the PIESOMETER MK-1 is a second set of a sensor placed in the triceps area. This sensor serves to detect any interference signals that would normally compromise the reading. This allows reading to be taken even in noise and vibration intensive environment. This technology functions by identifying signals lying within the audio frequency and filtering out the interference signal. The CANAMET PIESOMETER is protected by U.S. Patent 6,520,918.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on signal processing techniques (adaptive interference cancellation) and acoustic sensors to measure blood pressure, with no mention of AI or ML terms or concepts.

No.

The device provides data for assessing cardiac health via blood pressure readings, but it does not directly treat or alleviate a medical condition.

Yes

The device provides data for assessing cardiac health via blood pressure readings and explicitly states it is used to provide “preliminary blood pressure data from ambulatory patients.” Although it also states that patient diagnosis is not to be performed solely based on its results, the purpose of providing data for health assessment and preliminary data for non-time critical applications aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device, which aids in the identification of a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as an electronic pressure cuff with three acoustic sensors (microphones).

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device measures blood pressure and heart rate using acoustic sensors placed on the patient's body (biceps and triceps). It does not analyze any specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide blood pressure and heart rate data for assessing cardiac health and for preliminary blood pressure data. This is a physiological measurement taken directly from the patient, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, the PIESOMETER MK-1 Digital Blood Pressure Monitor falls under the category of a non-IVD medical device.

Dear Mr. Kamm:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations. Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must
