No reference devices were used in this submission.

No
The summary describes a standard physiological sensor and data visualization application without mentioning any AI/ML capabilities for data analysis or interpretation.

No
The device is described as a "biosensor" that gathers and stores heart rate data to be used by medical professionals as an "aid in making non-life threatening therapeutic decisions." It does not directly provide therapy.

Yes

This device is used "as an aid in making non-life threatening therapeutic decisions", which is a diagnostic purpose to inform medical treatment, even if it's not a definitive diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states that the solution is comprised of a "Philips wearable biosensor-G5" and a "data visualization application". The biosensor is described as a "battery operated, single-use device" that "continuously acquiring surface electrical waveforms" and "sending physiological data wirelessly". This indicates the presence of a physical hardware component (the biosensor) that is integral to the device's function, making it not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Philips wearable biosensor-G5 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Philips wearable biosensor-G5 measures heart rate by acquiring surface electrical waveforms related to cardiac excitations. This is a non-invasive measurement taken directly from the patient's body, not from a specimen in vitro (outside the body).
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for heart rate measurement in non-critical hospital settings as an aid in making non-life threatening therapeutic decisions. This involves monitoring a physiological parameter directly from the patient.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a physiological monitoring device, not an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Biocompatibility testing

The biocompatibility evaluation for the Philips wearable biosensor-G5 Solution was conducted in accordance with the FDA Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff, Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices-Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process"(2016), and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by FDA. The battery of testing included the following tests:

  • Cytotoxicity
  • Sensitization .
  • Irritation ●

The Philips wearable biosensor-G5 Solution is considered skin contacting for a duration of more than 24 hours.

Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted on the Philips wearable biosensor-G5 Solution. The system complies with the applicable requirements within IEC 60601-1, and IEC 60601-2-27 standards for safety and the IEC 60601-1-2 standard for EMC.

Performance Testing

Performance testing bench testing was performed using voluntary standards IEC 60601-2-27, IEC 60601-2-47, EC57, and EC12. Testing to applicable requirements were conducted and the system was found to be compliant.

Software Verification and Validation Testing

Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "moderate" level of concern, since a failure or latent flaw in the software could directly result in minor injury to the patient or operator.

The Indications for Use statement for the Philips wearable biosensor-G5 Solution is not identical to the predicate device; however, the differences do not alter the intended therapeutic use of the subject device nor do they affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject device to the predicate. Both the subject and predicate devices have the same intended use of collecting and transmitting heart rate measurement, by acquiring electrical signals from the skin surface.

COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE VI. PREDICATE DEVICE

Acquiring surface electrical waveforms related to the contractile activity of the heart is the technological principle for both the subject and predicate devices. It is based on the use of electrode technology to capture electrical waveforms via the chest to derive physiological signals processed by the system firmware.
