Intended Use
The SphygmoCor® Cardiovascular Management System (CvMS) provides a derived ascending aortic blood pressure waveform and a range of central arterial indices. The CvMS is used with a tonometer over a radial artery calibrated with a standard cuff blood pressure measurement. It is to be used on those patients where information related to ascending aortic blood pressure is desired but in the opinion of the physician, the risks of cardiac catheterization procedure or other invasive monitoring may outweigh the benefits. The CvMS Heart Rate Variability (HRV) option is intended for use in obtaining HRV measurements in response to controlled exercises.
Device Description
The CvMS is a modified version of the SphygmoCor Px (K012487). Like its predecessor, the CvMS is a computerized tool for the assessment of a range of central vascular parameters, including blood pressure, by peripheral pulse wave detection, callbration, and analysis that can be derived from the calibrated peripheral pressure waveform. The CvMS is used with a tonometer over the radial artery, and is calibrated with a standard blood pressure cuff measurement. The CyMS is intended for use on those patients where information related to ascending aortic blood pressure is desired but in the opinion of the physician, the risks of cardiac catheterization procedure or other invasive monitoring may outweigh the benefits. In addition, the CvMS incorporates an option to enable users to measure Heart Rate Variability (HRV) in response to controlled exercises. The CvMS is made up of three primary components: 1) a proprietary signal processing electronics module; 2) proprietary software; and 3) a Millar Micro-Tip Pulse Transducer tonometer (Millar tonometer). One notable new feature incorporated into the CvMS is the addition of the capability to noninvasively measure Heart Rate Variability (HRV) data. The CvMS measures the variability in intervals between R waves ("R-R intervals") on a continuous beat-to-beat basis for a period of time to provide HRV data and to use standard analysis procedures to provide stable and evoked measures of HRV in response to certain controlled exercises. The CvMS is also capable of providing Central Blood Pressure (PWA) and Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) measurements. The CvMS system is available in three different configuration options based upon these measurement capabilities. These options allow the user to select a measurement system that suits their particular clinical needs. These configuration options include: 1. SphygmoCor Px Pulse Wave Analysis (PWA) System (Px); 2. SphygmoCor Vx Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) System (Vx); and 3. SphygmoCor Hx Heart Rate Variability (HRV) System (Hx). All measurements may be stored and viewed on an attached computer which is attached to the CvMS's signal processing electronics module via a standard USB cable. The patient study reports are displayed on an attached computer.
More Information

No
The description focuses on signal processing, standard analysis procedures for HRV, and comparison testing to a predicate device. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training or test sets for algorithmic performance.

No.
The device is described as a diagnostic tool for obtaining various cardiovascular measurements (e.g., blood pressure waveform, central arterial indices, Heart Rate Variability) to provide information for a physician, not for treating any condition.

Yes

The device "provides a derived ascending aortic blood pressure waveform and a range of central arterial indices" and "is a computerized tool for the assessment of a range of central vascular parameters". It also "incorporates an option to enable users to measure Heart Rate Variability (HRV)". These functions indicate the device gathers and analyzes data to provide information about a patient's medical condition, which is the definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states that the CvMS is made up of three primary components: a proprietary signal processing electronics module, proprietary software, and a Millar Micro-Tip Pulse Transducer tonometer. This indicates the device includes significant hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided text, the SphygmoCor® Cardiovascular Management System (CvMS) is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • CvMS Function: The CvMS operates by non-invasively measuring physiological signals from the radial artery using a tonometer and a standard blood pressure cuff. It analyzes these signals to derive information about central arterial indices, blood pressure, and heart rate variability.
  • No Specimen Collection/Examination: The CvMS does not involve the collection or examination of any biological specimens from the patient. It directly interacts with the patient's body to obtain measurements.

Therefore, the CvMS falls under the category of a non-invasive physiological monitoring device rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

E. Technological Characteristics Comparison

In the main, the CvMS and the SphygmoCor Px systems are substantially similar in design and technology. With the exception of the CvMS's HRV functionality, the intended uses of these two devices are the same. Like the SphygmoCor Px, the primary input signal to the CvMS comes from the a noninvasive tonometer which is calibrated via the brachial cuff. The software engine of the CvMS system is a somewhat modified version of that found in the SphygmoCor Px.

The CvMS has a new signal processing electronics module which is based upon the performance specifications for the SphygmoCor Px. Among other things, the CvMS's signal processing electronics module incorporates changes to permit powering the device via a computer USB and changes to permit HRV measurement. A detailed comparison of the technological similarities between these two devices can be found at Tab K.

AtCor Medical has identified three predicate devices for the CvMS's HRV option. Amongst the notable commonalities is the fact that all three of these predicate devices are modular software components of other devices that contain no mechanical components. As with the CyMS, both the Monitor One NDX and the ANScore measure HRV in response to controlled exercises. Likewise, these two devices analyze data gathered by a three-lead ECG connected to disposable snap-on electrodes to detect the electrocardio graphic signals like the CvMS's HRV option. Like the CvMS's HRV option, all three of the predicates derive HRV measurements from a statistical analysis of electrocardiographic data using relatively simple mathematical functions. While the predicates vary slightly regarding what analyses are presented to the user, all of the analyses provided by the CvMS HRV option are also presented by one or more of these predicate devices.

F. Performance Testing

The entire system has also been tested to demonstrate compliance to the following standards:

  • IEC60601-1 (including its subparagraphs) Electro-Medical Equipment Safety . (The biocompatibility testing clause of the standard was not applied since the only patient contact material is in the previously cleared Tonometer);
  • IEC60601-1-2 Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility-Requirements . and tests; and
  • AAMI EC13:2002 Cardiac monitors, heart rate meters, and alarms (substantial . compliance only).

This testing has demonstrated that the CvMS meets electrical and environmental safety standards for safe use.

The CvMS has undergone hardware and software verification and validation testing to ensure that it complies with its performance requirements. In addition, comparison testing between the CVMS and the SphygmoCor Px demonstrated that the devices performed substantially the same with regard to their ability to provide a derived ascending aortic blood pressure waveform and a range of central arterial indices.

G. Conclusions

AtCor Medical has demonstrated the CvMS is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices listed above.
