Intended Use

Xper Flex Cardio Physiomonitoring System-The physiomonitoring system is intended for use by professional healthcare providers for complete physiologic/hemodynamic monitoring, clinical data acquisition, medical image/data processing. and analytical assessment. The system is indicated for use in the cardiac catheterization, following areas: cardiology, electrophysiology, radiology, invasive radiology and other areas where cardiac monitoring may be required. The system is not intended to be used in the proximity of magnetic resonance imaging. The data may also be acquired from and/or sent to other devices, such as physiological monitoring systems, information management systems, image acquisition/storage devices, and other medical devices.

User-adjustable alarms (both visual and audible) available in the system alert the operator to anomalous occurrences and facilitate timely responses. Use of the system is not intended where unattended patient monitoring is desired, or in situations where arrhythmia detection is required.

The system provides the ability to transmit patient data files for storage, viewing and analysis at distributed locations via the intranet or internet, or may function as a stand-alone device.

Xper Information Management- The information management system is intended for use under the direct supervision of a healthcare practitioner for acquiring, displaying, trending, storing and transmitting various types of data. such as physiologic/ hemodynamic, clinical, medical image and other related data. The system is capable of processing/analyzing information, such as multichannel ECG signals, and performing other data management functions, such as creating reports. Data may be acquired from and/or sent to other devices, such as physiological monitoring systems, information management systems, image acquisition/storage devices, and other medical devices.

The system is indicated for use in the following areas: cardiology, cardiac catheterization. electrophysiology, radiology, invasive radiology, and surrounding areas where access to the information is needed.

The system consists of modules and may be entirely a software offering or a hardware/software offering. It is intended for use on standard computer systems and does not require proprietary hardware. The solution is available as a single module or combination of modules, or may function as a standalone system.

The system is capable of receiving and displaying user-adjustable alarms (both visual and audible) available in the system, which alert the operator to anomalous occurrences and facilitate timely responses. Use of the system is not intended where unattended patient monitoring is desired, or in situations where arrhythmia detection is required.

The system provides the ability to transmit patient data files for storage, viewing and analysis at distributed locations via the intranet or internet, or may function as a stand-alone device.

Device Description

The Xper Flex Cardio physiomonitoring system and Xper Information Management systems are enhancements of the cleared Xper Information Management system (K063840).

The Xper Flex Cardio physiomonitoring system is used to facilitate invasive investigation of heart and vascular disease when non-invasive indicators warrant such. The Xper Flex Cardio physiomonitoring system may be used to display and analyze surface ECG (electrocardiogram), respiration, invasive pressure, SpO2 (pulse oximetry), end tidal CO2 (ETCO2) and non-invasive pressure waveforms; surface body temperature and thermal cardiac output curves. The system is capable of processing/analyzing information such as multi-channel ECG signals and displaying a graphical ST segment map. The Xper Flex Cardio physiomonitoring system makes measurements that assist physicians and other clinicians to evaluate a patient's overall cardiopulmonary performance, conductive system and general vascular status. The Xper Flex Cardio physiomonitoring system is not intended for use in the proximity of magnetic resonance imaging.

The Xper Information Management System is used for acquiring, displaying, trending, storing and transmitting various types of data such as physiologic/hemodynamic, clinical, medical image and other related data. The system is capable of processing/analyzing information such as multi-channel ECG signals, displaying a graphical ST segment map and performing other data management functions such as creating reports. Data may be acquired from and/or sent to other devices such as physiological monitoring systems, information management systems, image acquisition/storage devices and other medical devices.

AI/ML Overview

The provided 510(k) summary for the "Xper Flex Cardio Physiomonitoring System" and "Xper Information Management System" does not describe acceptance criteria for specific performance metrics or a study that rigorously proves the device meets those criteria in terms of clinical accuracy or effectiveness.

Instead, the submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through:

  • Technological Characteristics: Highlighting similarities in intended use, components, and functionalities with existing cleared devices.
  • Performance Testing (Compliance to Standards): Showing the device complies with relevant international electrotechnical commission (IEC) safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards. This is a common method for medical devices to show basic safety and performance in their specific operating environment.

Here's an breakdown based on your requested information, with the understanding that the provided document does not contain the level of detail you might expect for an AI-centric device's performance study:
