Intended Use
The Edwards Pressure Cable when used with an Edwards' pressure monitoring sensor and connected to a compatible monitor, offers continuous assessment of hemodynamic parameters. The Edwards Pressure Cable is indicated for use in critical care patients in which the balance between cardiac function, fluid status, vascular resistance and pressure needs continuous assessment. It may be used for monitoring hemodynamic parameters in conjunction with a perioperative goal directed therapy protocol in a hospital environment.
Device Description
The Edwards Pressure Cable is a reusable device that connects with a compatible monitor on one end, and an Edwards' pressure monitoring sensor on the other end to continuously measure hemodynamic parameters. The Edwards Pressure Cable acts as a sub-system module to a compatible monitor and has all the electronics, software and algorithms built into the cable to allow for monitoring and calculating patient hemodynamic parameters. Parameters available on the Edwards Pressure Cable include: Continuous cardiac output/continuous cardiac index (CO/CI), Cardiac power output/cardiac power index (CPO/CPI), Central venous pressure (CVP), Diastolic blood pressure (DIA), Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), Mean pulmonary artery blood pressure (MPAP), Stroke volume/stroke volume index (SV/SVI), Systemic vascular resistance/systemic vascular resistance index (SVR/SVRI), Stroke volume variation (SVV), Systolic blood pressure (SYS)
More Information

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or related terms, and the device description focuses on standard signal processing and calculation of hemodynamic parameters.

No

This device is a cable that connects a sensor to a monitor for continuous assessment of hemodynamic parameters; it is for monitoring and diagnostic purposes, not for providing therapy.

Yes

The device is used to continuously assess hemodynamic parameters, which falls under the definition of diagnosing a patient's physiological state. It measures and calculates parameters like cardiac output, blood pressure, and vascular resistance, providing information about a patient's condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Edwards Pressure Cable is a "reusable device" with "all the electronics, software and algorithms built into the cable." This indicates it is a hardware component containing software, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the Edwards Pressure Cable is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as offering "continuous assessment of hemodynamic parameters" in critical care patients. This involves measuring physiological parameters directly from the patient's body (e.g., blood pressure, cardiac output).
  • Device Description: The description states the cable connects to a "pressure monitoring sensor" and a "compatible monitor" to "continuously measure hemodynamic parameters." This confirms it's involved in direct physiological measurement.
  • Lack of In Vitro Activity: An IVD device is specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease. The Edwards Pressure Cable does not process or analyze such specimens. It's part of a system that measures parameters in vivo (within the body).

Therefore, the Edwards Pressure Cable is a medical device used for physiological monitoring, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

No new testing was performed since the subject and predicate devices are identical and have similar intended use and indications for use. The Edwards Pressure Cable leverages the testing for the predicate HemoSphere Pressure Cable (HemoSphere Advanced Platform, K180881, cleared November 16, 2018). The testing was performed in compliance with the following standards:
• IEC 60601-1:2005+A1:2012 Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance
• IEC 60601-1-2 Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1-2: General Requirements for Safety- Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility- Requirements and Tests
• IEC 60601-1-6 Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1-6: General Requirements for Safety and Essential Performance- Collateral Standard: Usability

• IEC 62304 Medical Device Software- Life Cycle Processes
• IEC 62366 Medical Devices- Application Usability Engineering to Medical Devices

Software Verification: The Edwards Pressure Cable is considered software with a Moderate Level of Concern. Software verification was performed per FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices”. The testing requirements for the predicate HemoSphere Pressure Cable was tested and passed at a sub-system level to ensure the safety of the device. This testing is applicable to the subject Edwards Pressure Cable. All testing for Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Software Verification testing being leveraged for the subject Edwards Pressure Cable passed. All performance testing leveraged for the subject Edwards Pressure Cable was previously submitted in the predicate 510(k) that included the HemoSphere Pressure Cable (HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform), (K180881, cleared November 16, 2018).
