The CARESCAPE ONE is a multi-parameter physiological patient monitor intended for use in multiple areas and intrahospital transport within a professional healthcare facility.
The CARESCAPE ONE is indicated for the monitoring of hemodynamic (including ECG, ST segment, arrhythmia detection, invasive pressure, non-invasive blood pressure, SpO2, pulse rate, and temperature), and respiratory (impedance respiration and CO2 airway gas) physiological parameters.
The CARESCAPE ONE provides ECG, ST segment, arrhythmia detection, invasive pressure, non-invasive blood pressure, SpO2, pulse rate, temperature, impedance respiration, and CO2 airway gas parameter acquisition and monitoring.
The CARESCAPE ONE is indicated for use on adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients and on one patient at a time. The CARESCAPE ONE is indicated for use under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner, or by personnel trained in the proper use of the equipment in a professional healthcare facility.
Contraindications for using CARESCAPE ONE:
The CARESCAPE ONE is not intended for use within a controlled MR environment.
CARESCAPE ONE is a new patient monitor device based on GE Healthcare predicate devices, the Patient Data Module (K071073) and the CARESCAPE B450 (K132533).
CARESCAPE ONE, with CARESCAPE Software version 3 belongs to the CARESCAPE V3 patient monitor family. The concept of the CARESCAPE ONE is to provide a flexible bedside monitor that can also be used during intra-hospital transport. The flexibility of the CARESCAPE ONE allows the user to configure the monitor's vital sign acquisition for only the parameters they require. This is achieved using plug and play Active Cable Modules (ACM) that connect via medical grade USB ports on the CARESCAPE ONE monitor. Note that the USB ports are not compatible with commercial USB items on the market due to a custom connector design. Each ACM is dedicated to measuring a particular parameter, including ECG/Respiration, Invasive Blood Pressure, Temperature, SpO2, or CO2. The only exception is the Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) measurement which does not require a separate ACM since the capability to measure NIBP is built-in to the CARESCAPE ONE monitor itself. The ACM's are CARESCAPE TEMP, CARESCAPE PRES, CARESCAPE ECG, CARESCAPE SpO2 (TruSignal), CARESCAPE SpO2 -Nellcor, CARESCAPE SpO2 - Masimo and CARESCAPE CO2 - LoFlo. CARESCAPE SpO2 - Nellcor, CARESCAPE SpO2 -Masimo, and CARESCAPE CO2 - LoFlo have been developed by their respective companies/manufacturers (OEM) for use with the CARESCAPE ONE. The technology from each OEM has received 510(k) clearance and is adapted to function with the CARESCAPE ONE. The OEM technologies are not new and are not a part of this submission, only their integration into the Parameters/Active Cable Modules for use with the CARESCAPE ONE is covered in this 510(k).
CARESCAPE ONE provides the users the acquired display values, waveforms, alarms and status messages in compact footprint monitor that runs on an internal battery as well as AC power when connected to the docking station.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and supporting studies for the CARESCAPE ONE device, based on the provided FDA 510(k) summary:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The FDA 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than providing a direct table of specific acceptance criteria with corresponding performance values for all features. However, it does highlight performance claims and comparisons for key components, specifically arrhythmia detection and SpO2.
| Parameter/Feature | Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Predicate Equivalence & Standards) | Reported Device Performance (CARESCAPE ONE) |
|---|---|---|
| Arrhythmia Detection | Performance equivalent to EK-Pro V13 (predicate). | EK-Pro V14: Substantially equivalent EC57 results and performance values to EK-Pro V13. |
| SpO2 Accuracy | Performance as per ISO 80601-2-61:2011 and FDA guidance. | TruSignal V3 SpO2: Accuracy validated in controlled desaturation study during motion and non-motion conditions, compared to CO-oximetry. |
| Other Parameters | Equivalent performance to PDM (K071073) and B450 (K132533) | Same parameter acquisition technology as PDM, integrated differently. CO2 measurement technology previously cleared and used by GE Healthcare. |
| Electrical Safety | Compliance with applicable consensus standards. | Bench testing demonstrated compliance. |
| EMC | Compliance with applicable consensus standards. | Bench testing demonstrated compliance. |
| Environmental (Mech.) | Compliance with applicable consensus standards. | Bench testing demonstrated compliance. |
| Usability | Safe and effective for intended users/uses. | Extensive usability work, including critical task identification, formative, and summative testing. |
| Software Level of Concern | Major | Software design, development, verification, validation, and traceability provided. |
| Biocompatibility | Applicable for patient-contacting components. | Biocompatibility testing completed for patient cables with intermittent skin contact. |
| Cybersecurity | Compliance with FDA guidance for medical device cybersecurity. | Security Risk Assessment, Threat model, Penetration testing, system integrity, access, audit, network, and remote service controls. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Arrhythmia (EK-Pro V14): The document references ANSI/AAMI EC57:1998 (R)2012. This standard specifies databases (e.g., AHA, MIT-BIH) that are used for testing arrhythmia algorithms. The specific sample size from these databases used for EK-Pro V14 testing is not explicitly stated in this 510(k) summary, but it would be derived from the standard's requirements.
- Data Provenance: The databases mentioned in EC57 are typically retrospective, internationally recognized ECG databases. The exact country of origin for the data used for this specific EK-Pro V14 validation is not specified, but the standard's databases often compile data from various global sources.
- SpO2 (TruSignal V3): The document states a "controlled desaturation study." The sample size is not explicitly stated in this summary.
- Data Provenance: A controlled desaturation study is a prospective clinical study designed to test pulse oximeter accuracy. The country of origin for this study is not specified.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
- Arrhythmia (EK-Pro V14): When using standard databases like those referenced by ANSI/AAMI EC57, the ground truth (arrhythmia annotations) is typically established by multiple, highly experienced cardiologists or cardiac electrophysiologists. The exact number and qualifications for the original annotation of the standard databases are not specified in this document, as the standard itself defines these.
- SpO2 (TruSignal V3): For controlled desaturation studies, the "ground truth" for SpO2 is provided by a CO-oximeter measurement, which itself is a highly accurate laboratory method for oxygen saturation. This is an objective measurement rather than expert consensus. Therefore, "experts" in the traditional sense for establishing ground truth are not directly applicable here.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Arrhythmia (EK-Pro V14): For standard databases, ground truth annotation often involves multiple experts reviewing and adjudicating discrepancies, sometimes with a "majority rules" or senior expert decision process. The specific adjudication method for the creation of the databases referenced by EC57 is not detailed in this summary, but would adhere to the methodologies defined by the creators of those databases.
- SpO2 (TruSignal V3): As the ground truth comes from CO-oximetry, an objective measurement, adjudication by experts is not applicable.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was NOT done. The document explicitly states: "Clinical studies of the CARESCAPE ONE device performance were not required to establish substantial equivalence." This indicates that human-in-the-loop performance with or without AI assistance was not assessed in this submission for primary equivalence.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) was Done
- Yes, standalone performance was assessed for key algorithms:
- EK-Pro V14 Arrhythmia Detection algorithm: Its performance was evaluated against the ANSI/AAMI EC57 standard, comparing it to the predicate's EK-Pro V13 algorithm. This is a standalone algorithm performance evaluation.
- TruSignal V3 SpO2 algorithm: Its accuracy was validated in a controlled desaturation study against CO-oximetry. This is also a standalone algorithm performance evaluation.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Arrhythmia (EK-Pro V14): The ground truth would be expert consensus annotations of ECG waveforms from standard arrhythmia databases (e.g., those specified in ANSI/AAMI EC57).
- SpO2 (TruSignal V3): The ground truth was objective laboratory measurement using CO-oximetry in a controlled study. This is considered a gold standard for blood oxygen saturation.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for training the EK-Pro V14 arrhythmia detection algorithm or the TruSignal V3 SpO2 algorithm. In 510(k) submissions, training set details (especially for existing, updated algorithms) are often not required to be as extensively disclosed as test set performance, particularly when demonstrating equivalence to a predicate.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
- The document does not explicitly state how the ground truth for the training sets of the EK-Pro V14 or TruSignal V3 SpO2 algorithms was established. For complex algorithms like these, training data is typically meticulously annotated by a combination of clinical experts (for arrhythmia) or using highly accurate reference methods (for SpO2) and then verified. Again, in a 510(k) for an updated algorithm or component, the full developmental history and training data specifics may not be detailed if the focus is on demonstrating equivalent performance post-modifications.

Intended Use: (807.92(a)(5)):
Indications (from labeling)
The CARESCAPE ONE is a multi-parameter physiological patient monitor intended for use in multiple areas and intrahospital transport within a professional healthcare facility.
The CARESCAPE ONE is indicated for the monitoring of hemodynamic (including ECG, ST segment, arrhythmia detection, invasive pressure, non-invasive blood pressure, SpO2, pulse rate, and temperature), and respiratory (impedance respiration and CO2 airway gas) physiological parameters.
The CARESCAPE ONE provides ECG, ST segment, arrhythmia detection, invasive pressure, non-invasive blood pressure. SpO2. pulse rate, temperature, impedance respiration, and CO2 airway gas parameter acquisition and monitoring.
The CARESCAPE ONE is indicated for use on adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients and on one patient at a time.
The CARESCAPE ONE is indicated for use under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner, or by personnel trained in the proper use of the equipment in a professional healthcare facility.
Contraindications for using CARESCAPE ONE:
The CARESCAPE ONE is not intended for use within a controlled MR environment
The CARESCAPE ONE is a new multi-parameter monitor, Technology (807.92(a)(6)): introducing equivalent features and enhancements to existing features from two predicate devices. The primary predicate device is the PDM (K071073), and the main additional predicate used in this comparison is the CARESCAPE Monitor B450 with ESP V2 software (K132533).
The CARESCAPE ONE can be used as a full-standalone multiparameter monitor [equivalent to the CARESCAPE Monitor B450 (K132533) using the PDM (K071073)], providing the users the acquired display values, waveforms and alarms without the necessity of requiring a separate host monitor. The CARESCAPE ONE monitor's size is small and compact to support use in intra-hospital transport as well.
{7}------------------------------------------------
Some key features of the device are summarized below:
· The CARESCAPE ONE includes a touch screen display allowing the user to control the monitor's functions and display. · CARESCAPE ONE can be used as a stand-alone monitor This is equivalent to the functionality to the predicate CARESCAPE Monitor B450 using the PDM module. · The CARESCAPE ONE uses Active Cable Modules (also called Parameters) where the specific parameter electronics are encapsulated into the respective patient cables, allowing the monitor to be as compact as possible. In the PDM, the electronics related to a specific parameter, such as ECG, were contained within the PDM itself. In this case, the Active Cables Modules (ACMs) provide patient isolation, parameter data acquisition with signal conditioning, some signal processing, and USB communication back to the CARESCAPE ONE. The same technology to process and analyze the signals is maintained as compared to the predicate, and the equivalent functionality is maintained. However, the electronics are contained within the active cables themselves rather than inside the monitor. · Incorporates an alarm system that complies with IEC 60601-1-8:2012. Also adds additional flexibility for clinicians to tailor the alarms to their particular patient needs such as the ability to select/adjust the alarm priority levels for certain alarms and adjust time delays/alarm trigger delays. Alarms are displayed and alerted with visual alerts and audio directly on the CARESCAPE ONE Monitor.
· Uses a Common Software Platform (CSP) that is used for the user interface, service interface, operating system, parameter data processing, alarms, trends, security, power management, and battery control. The operating system and display use a similar lavout and look/feel as the CARESCAPE bedside monitors. This gives the user a similar experience across the various products.
· The CARESCAPE ONE incorporates the EK-Pro V14 arrhythmia detection algorithm into the monitor software. This is a slightly newer version of the EK-Pro algorithm that was utilized with the CARESCAPE Monitor B450 (EK-Pro v13), however it serves the same function and retains equivalent performance.
· The CARESCAPE ONE measures LoFlo Sidestream CO2. PDM did not measure CO2 on its own. The B450 does include the display of CO2 through associated parameter modules. The CARESCAPE ONE CO2 measurement technology has been
{8}------------------------------------------------
used by GE Healthcare in other existing bedside devices. The technology for this measurement has been cleared by its OEM developer, Respironics Novametrix LLC, with 510(k) K053174. This same technology was incorporated into GE Healthcare Solar and Dash bedside monitors with our Capnostat/Capnoflex CO2 System 510(k) K083750. • The CARESCAPE ONE and the PDM can measure SpO2 with technology supplied by OEM manufacturers Masimo and Nellcor. The CARESCAPE ONE can also measure SpO2 with the GE Trusignal technology. This technology is used in multiple FDA cleared GE devices including the B105/B125 monitor (K171580) and the Monitor B40 (K151063).

These technicaldifferences are intentional to makethe CARESCAPE ONE moretransportable. The CARESCAPEB450 patient monitor also supportssome specialized parameters whichincludes more waveforms, and thesespecialized parameters are notavailable with the CARESCAPEONE. The CARESCAPE ONE canshow 8 waveforms with swiping toa second page/screen while theCARESCAPE B450 requires asecond physical display.Waveforms for all parameterssupported by the CARESCAPEONE can be displayed at the sametime using the second waveformpage. The lower number ofwaveforms shown does not affectthe determination of substantialequivalence since the devicedisplays waveforms for theparameters it specifies. |

Summary of Non-Clinical Tests:
Bench testing related to software, hardware and performance including applicable consensus standards was conducted on the CARESCAPE ONE, demonstrating the design meets the specifications.
The hardware bench testing included electromagnetic compatibility, electrical safety, environmental (including Mechanical stress testing and Package Testing) and usability.
The CARESCAPE ONE has been found to be safe and effective for the intended users, uses and use environments. Extensive usability work has been completed for CARESCAPE ONE and the predicate devices including critical task identification through use-based hazard analysis, multiple rounds of formative usability testing and summative testing, among other activities.
Software testing included software design, development, verification, validation and traceability. 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 "Major" level of concern.
The CARESCAPE ONE monitor does not have direct contact with the patient. There are patient cables that can have unintended/intermittent intact skin contact with the patient and appropriate biocompatibility testing has been completed for those components.
{15}------------------------------------------------
Patient safety, security, and privacy risks have been addressed in the design and development of CARESCAPE ONE including a Security Risk Assessment, Threat model and Penetration testing. This includes system integrity controls, access controls, audit controls, network controls, and remote service controls which map to the General Principles and Security Capabilities outlined in the FDA Guidance for Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff Document issued on October 2, 2014.
Testing was completed for all parameter performance characteristics, including applicable consensus standards for ECG/Respiration, Invasive Blood Pressure, Temperature, SpO2, and CO2. The algorithms with changes compared to the predicates, EK-Pro V14 arrhythmia and TruSignal V3 SPO2 were validated as described below.
For EK-Pro V14 performance values for the applicable characteristics as defined in the ANSI/AAMI EC57:1998 (R)2012 standard has been provided to support a comparison of the EC57 results for the EK-Pro V14 algorithm (the subject device) to the predicate version EK-Pro V13 (K132533). The comparison demonstrates that the EC57 results and performance values are substantially equivalent between the subject V14 and predicate V13 versions of EK-Pro.
The accuracy of the SpO2 parameter as measured with the U-TruSignal ACM medical device (with TruSignal V3) during motion and non-motion conditions as compared to CO-oximetry in a controlled desaturation study was completed using the method as set forth by ISO 80601-2-61:2011 and the FDA guidance Pulse Oximeters - Premarket Notification Submissions [510(k)s]: Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff, March 2013.
