Intended Use
The EarlySense Bed Sensing Unit is an accessory that is compatible with bedside units of EarlySense Systems (Models 2.0 and InSight) intended for continuous measurement of respiration rate, heart rate and movement, in an automatic contact-less manner. Environment of use for the accessory is defined as per compatible cleared bedside units labeling: EarlySense 2.0 - at home, in hospital or clinic setting and InSight - in hospital or clinic setting. The device is indicated for use in children, adolescents and adults. The operation of the EarlySense system has been studied in children (weight ≥10 Kg) and adults (weight <111 Kg) during sleep and resting condition.
Device Description
EarlySense is submitting a new model for its Bed Sensing Unit to be used with cleared EarlySense bedside unit models (EarlySense 2.0 -K131379 and EarlySense InSight -K152911) which are intended for contactless measurement of heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR) and motion. Similar to the cleared Bed Sensing units, the subject device is placed under the bed mattress and connected to supporting bedside unit, to allow contactless measurements of HR, RR and motion and detection of bed exit. The modification of the cleared sensing unit includes addition of two load cells elements intended to be used in the Bed Exit feature of the system. The cleared and subject device share exactly the same intended use, the same fundamental functionality and similar types of components, and the same fundamental principles and mode of operation. As also described above, the modification that includes addition of load cells is not considered to affect the system performance. The subject device is also compatible with the existing optional accessories of the cleared sensor, i.e., extension cable and solid metal plate. Utilization of extension cable is to allow placing the sensing unit under the mattress farther than 3 meters from compatible bedside units. The solid metal plate can be used for beds that have un-flat surface (such as grid like).
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a hardware modification (addition of load cells) to an existing sensing unit and focuses on verifying that this modification does not affect the performance of the system's existing algorithms. There is no mention of AI, ML, training data, or complex data analysis techniques typically associated with AI/ML.

No.
The device is described as an accessory for continuous measurement of respiration rate, heart rate, and movement for monitoring purposes, and does not mention any therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is described as an accessory for continuous measurement of physiological parameters (respiration rate, heart rate, movement) and bed exit detection. While it provides measurements, its intended use, as stated, is not for diagnosis but for monitoring. The "Indications for Use" section doesn't mention diagnosing any conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Bed Sensing Unit" which is placed under a mattress and includes "load cells elements," indicating it is a hardware component.

Based on the provided text, 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 EarlySense Bed Sensing Unit measures physiological parameters (respiration rate, heart rate, movement) and detects bed exit contact-lessly by being placed under the mattress. It does not analyze any biological specimens taken from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes continuous measurement of vital signs and bed exit detection, not the analysis of in vitro samples.

The device is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than In Vitro Diagnostics.

(a)
Identification. A breathing (ventilatory) frequency monitor is a device intended to measure or monitor a patient's respiratory rate. The device may provide an audible or visible alarm when the respiratory rate, averaged over time, is outside operator settable alarm limits. This device does not include the apnea monitor classified in § 868.2377.(b)

Dear Dalia Argaman:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.
