The discussion of similarities and differences is structured in accordance with FDA's quidance document "The 510(k) Program: Evaluating Substantial Equivalence in Premarket Notifications Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff", July 28, 2014.
Decision 1: Is the predicate device legally marketed?
YES: the unmodified, primary predicate device SmartLinx Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System is legally marketed and was cleared in K171751.
YES: the reference device, the 740 Select is legally marketed and was cleared in K130411.
Decision 2: Do the devices have the same intended use?
YES: as shown in Table 6 above, the intended use/indication statement for the proposed SmartLinx Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System is identical to the indication statement for the predicate, primary predicate device SmartLinx Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System.
Although the intended use / indications for use of the reference device, the 740 Select is worded differently from that of the predicate and proposed SmartLinx Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System, the intended use is similar in that both devices are used by healthcare professionals for monitoring of neonatal, pediatric and adult patients for non-invasive blood pressure, pulse rate, noninvasive functional oxygen saturation of arteriolar hemoglobin (SpO2) and body temperature.
Decision 3: Do the devices have the same technological characteristics?
NO: the proposed SmartLinx Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System does not have the same technological characteristics as the predicate SmartLinx Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System as follows:
- . Changes to add the option of Nellcor SpO2 Pulse Oximetry solution, Rev. 1.0
- . Changes to upgrade SmartLinx Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System from version 2.2.1 to version 2.3
- Changes to upgrade SmartLinx Vitals Plus Application from version 9.0.3 to . version 9.2
- Software modifications to the SmartLinx Vital Plus Patient Monitoring System . cleared in K171751, documented to file
The proposed SmartLinx Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System can be configured with either the previously cleared Masimo SpO2 solution or with the Nellcor SpO2 solution, subject of this Special 510(k), whereas the unmodified SmartLinx Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System can only be configured with the Masimo SpO2 solution.
12
The technological characteristics of the proposed SmartLinx Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System are similar to those of the reference device, 740 Select.
Importantly, the proposed SmartLinx Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System is the same as the reference device, the 740 Select, in that both devices support the Nellcor SpO2 solution.
Decision 4: Do the different technological characteristics of the device raise different questions of safety and effectiveness?
NO: the design changes as described in this Special 510(k) resulting in the proposed SmartLinx Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate SmartLinx Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System. The predicate device supports the Masimo SpO2 solution which raised the question of safety regarding energy transfer to the patient. The energy transfer properties of the Nellcor SpO2 solution would be expected to raise the same question of safety concerning energy transfer to the patient. The reference device as mentioned under Decision 3 above also supports the Nellcor SpO2 solution and thus, the same question of safety regarding energy transfer properties is raised.
Decision 5a: Are the proposed scientific methods for evaluating new/different characteristics' effects on safety and effectiveness acceptable?
YES: the safety and effectiveness of the proposed SmartLinx Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System have been confirmed through performance testing, i.e., bench testing, testing to FDA recognized consensus standards, and software verification and validation testing.
Decision 5b: Are the proposed scientific methods for evaluating new/different characteristics' effects on safety and effectiveness acceptable?
YES: The proposed scientific methods for evaluating new/different characteristics' effects on safety and effectiveness are drawn from a robust Design Control, Risk Management, Software Development programs, and testing to FDA recognized consensus standards.
Decision 6: Do the data demonstrate substantial equivalence?
YES: The results from performance testing of safety and effectiveness demonstrate that the proposed SmartLinx Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System is substantially equivalent to the predicate SmartLinx Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System, and the reference device, the 740 Select, with respect to the Nellcor SpO2 solution,
5. Performance Testing
