Intended Use
QardioArm, model A100 is a fully automatic, non-invasive, wireless blood pressure monitor. QardioArm, model A100 is a blood pressure measurement system intended to measure the diastolic and systolic blood pressures and pulse rate of an adult individual. QardioArm, model A100 utilizes an inflatable cuff that is wrapped around the upper arm. This device is not intended to be a diagnostic device. Contact your physician if hypertensive values are indicated. The cuff circumference is limited to 22cm-37cm (8.7in -14.6in)
Device Description
QardioArm, model A100 measures both systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart pulse rate via a standard oscillometric method. The oscillometric method senses the vibrating signal via the closed air pipe system and utilizes a microcomputer to automatically sense the characteristics of the pulse signal. Unlike with the traditional measuring method, based on the Korotkov sound, with the oscillometric method the use of a stethoscope is not required. Through simple calculations, this method provides accurate blood pressure readings: the systolic pressure is defined as the blood pressure when the cuff pressure oscillating amplitude begins to increase, while the diastolic blood pressure is defined as the pressure when the cuff pressure oscillating amplitude stops decreasing. The device includes a plastic enclosure and an integrated wraparound cuff, and it requires an external device (e.g. a smartphone) to display results and perform user interaction.

No
The description details a standard oscillometric method for blood pressure measurement using a microcomputer for signal processing. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the intended use, device description, or the "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section. The performance studies focus on electrical safety, EMC, and standard blood pressure measurement accuracy, not AI/ML performance metrics.

No.
The device is strictly a measurement device for blood pressure and pulse rate and explicitly states "This device is not intended to be a diagnostic device." It does not provide any therapy or treatment.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "This device is not intended to be a diagnostic device."

No

The device description explicitly states that the device includes a plastic enclosure and an integrated wraparound cuff, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided text, the QardioArm, model A100 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "This device is not intended to be a diagnostic device."
  • Nature of Measurement: The device measures blood pressure and pulse rate, which are physiological parameters measured in vivo (on the living body), not in vitro (outside the body, typically on biological samples like blood or urine).
  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not perform such examinations.

Therefore, the QardioArm, model A100 is a non-invasive blood pressure monitor, not an IVD.
