The device description focuses on signal acquisition, processing, and calculation of parameters based on established physiological principles (Thoracic Electrical Bioimpedance and ECG). There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for data analysis, interpretation, or parameter calculation.
No.
The device is indicated for noninvasive, continuous assessment and monitoring of left-ventricular performance and global blood flow, which is for diagnostic and monitoring purposes, not for treating a condition.
Yes
The device is indicated for "noninvasive, continuous assessment and monitoring of the left-ventricular performance and global blood flow," which falls under diagnostic assessment.
No
The device description explicitly states that TEBCO-W is a "hardware component of a system" and acquires data via a "patient cable attached to 8 electrodes placed on a patient's thorax." This indicates the presence of physical hardware beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
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, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- TEBCO-W's Function: The description clearly states that TEBCO-W is a device for noninvasive, continuous assessment and monitoring of left-ventricular performance and global blood flow. It uses electrodes placed on the patient's thorax to acquire electrical signals (TEB and ECG).
- No Specimen Collection or Examination: The device does not involve the collection or examination of any specimens taken from the human body. It directly measures physiological signals from the patient's body surface.
Therefore, TEBCO-W falls under the category of a non-invasive physiological monitoring device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description
TEBCO-W is the substantially equivalent wireless version of the existing tethered predicate device TEBCO (Thoracic Electrical Bioimpedance Cardiac Output, K962128). Both the TEBCO and TEBCO-W are a hardware component of a system for noninvasive measurement of Cardiac Output and other cardiodynamic parameters. The system comprises of TEBCO (or TEBCO-W) and a PC, which acts as a host system. TEBCO (or TEBCO-W) acquire the TEB and data via a patient cable attached to 8 electrodes placed on a patient's thorax. 4 out of 8 electrodes are also used to detect a patient's ECG signal, which is utilized by both devices as a system clock. They sample the instantaneous TEB values @ 5 msec sample rate, and send continuously the binary values of digital samples in packets every 20 msec via a serial communication link to a host system (a PC), where the TEB signals are reconstructed and displayed. Both TEBCO and TEBCO-W also measure the magnitude and timing of the TEB signal in reference to Q-time of the QRS complex, from which the Heart Rate and Stroke Index are calculated, calculate then the value of Cardiac Output and sent the digital values of these parameters via the same serial link once every heartbeat to the host system, where they are displayed.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
Nonclinical Test:
Sample Size: One person representing a patient
Data Source: In-laboratory bench test
Annotation Protocol: The subject was monitored by TEBCO-W, and data continually transmitted to a host system (Acer Aspire V5-571P-6400 notebook). Other equipment (iMac, Gateway M520X-CTC notebook and MacBook Air) creating a private WiFi secure network communicated continuously via WiFi. The monitored subject moved around the lab while operators looked for any disruption in service. Specifically, they observed for missing or erroneous packets in the digitized analog signals and digital values of measured parameters sent by TEBCO-W every 20 msec, which would appear as signal waveform inconsistency. TEBCO-W was also placed adjacent to each network computer.
Clinical Test:
Sample Size: One person representing a patient
Data Source: North Hawaii Community Hospital, Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
Annotation Protocol: The subject, monitored by TEBCO-W, transmitted data via WiFi link to a host system (Acer Aspire V5-571P-6400 notebook) while all other ICU equipment (patient monitors and ventilators) operated normally. The subject walked around the ICU, and observations were made for any observable interference on the ICU patient monitor (indicating TEBCO-W as a source of interference) or on the TEBCO-W host system (indicating TEBCO-W susceptibility to noise from ICU equipment).
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Nonclinical Test:
Study Type: Bench Test
Sample Size: One person
Key Results: No interference was detected even when the monitored subject moved around the lab or when TEBCO-W was placed adjacent to other network computers. No signal waveform inconsistency was observed, indicating no transmission interference, missing, or erroneous packets.
Clinical Test:
Study Type: Clinical Test
Sample Size: One person
Key Results:
- TEBCO-W did not produce any interference with the ICU monitors and thus its function could not cause any life-threatening condition to the ICU patient.
- The ICU setting - the most interference-rich environment - did not produce any observable interference with the TEBCO-W operation.

Intended use and labeled indications for use
The TEBCO-W (as was TEBCO) device is indicated for noninvasive monitoring and assessment of cardiovascular performance, where use of invasive catheters is contraindicated or expensive. TEBCO-W is labeled "For Professional Use Only" and can be used only on the order of a physician.
21 CFR 807.92(a) (6):
Technological characteristics
The design, product technology, algorithms used in software, communication protocol, connection to the patient and use of the host system of TEBCO-W to display data are identical to the predicate device TEBCO. The differences are (a) the power source, where the external AC-to-DC converter used with TEBCO is replaced in TEBCO-W by 4 C-cells batteries recharged only externally, and (b) the tethered communication in TEBCO is replaced in TEBCO-W with a wireless communication, utilizing a built-in WiFi feature of today's PC. TEBCO-W will represent a technological improvement to the predicate device TEBCO in two respects: The departure from AC power source improves a patient's safety, while the wireless communication improves his mobility.

Brief discussion of nonclinical tests submitted, referenced or relied on in this premarket notification:
The nonclinical test was performed in our laboratory: During the Bench Test, a person representing a patient was being monitored by TEBCO-W carried on subject's chest and his data were continually transmitted to the host system (Acer Aspire
6
V5-571P-6400 notebook) while the other equipment, representing potential WiFi interference source/recipient, was operating under its normal conditions:
We constructed a private WiFi secured network consisting of three different computers (iMac, Gateway M520X-CTC notebook and MacBook Air) and created a simple program in which all computers continuously communicated via their WiFi with each other. All utilized network computers have a manufacturer built-in WiFi circuit.
The monitored subject than moved around the lab and operator of each of the network computers and the operator of the TEBCO-W host system looked for presence of any disruption in service. We concentrated on TEBCO-W host system: The four digitized analog signals and the digital values of measured parameters are sent out by TEBCO-W every 20 msec in packets (see Attachment 007), while the digitized analog signal content of each packet represents a next dot on the displayed analog signal. Any transmission interference producing missing or erroneous packets would thus be clearly visible as a signal waveform inconsistency. When no interference in this mode could be detected, the monitored subject than placed TEBCO-W adjacent to each of the network computers, also with no interference observable.
21 CFR 807.92(b) (2):
Brief discussion of clinical tests submitted, referenced or relied on in this premarket notification:
The Clinical Test took place at the North Hawaii Community Hospital, in its Intensive Care Unit. The subject/patient's monitoring was similar to the laboratory Bench Testing: During the Clinical Test, a person representing a patient was being monitored by TEBCO-W carried on subject's chest and his data were continually transmitted via its WiFi link to the host system (Acer Aspire V5-571P-6400 notebook) while all other ICU equipment (patient monitors and ventilators), representing potential interference source, was operating under its normal conditions:
Our subject, monitored by TEBCO-W, walked around the ICU without any observable interference either on the ICU patient monitor (that would indicate TEBCO-W as a source of interference) or on the TEBCO-W host system (which would indicate a TEBCO-W susceptibility to noise emitted by the ICU equipment).
Conclusion 1: TEBCO-W did not produce any interference with the ICU monitors and thus its function could not cause any life-threatening condition to the ICU patient.
Conclusion 2: The ICU setting - the most interference-rich environment - did not produce any observable interference with the TEBCO-W operation.
21 CFR 807.92(b) (3): Conclusions drawn from nonclinical and clinical tests
Based on the results of both nonclinical and clinical studies described in this 510(k) Submission above, we can conclude that TEBCO-W is as safe and effective (therefore substantially equivalent) as the predicate device TEBCO
