Intended Use
The device provides non-invasive measurement of pulse waveform and heart rate by photoelectric plethysmography. For Professional Use only. Not for use in individuals under the age of 18 years.
Device Description
The ASI Device is intended to be used to measure pulse waveform in the finger. The measurement oximeter is an optoelectronic sensor consisted of a light- emitting diode (infrared LED) and a photodiode placed on opposite side as a light receiver. The ASI System incorporates an FDA approved pulse oximeter fingertip probe. The light from the LED is transmitted through the tissue at the sensor site and a photodiode in the sensor measures the transmitted light and calculating how much light is absorbed. This device converts the changes of transmitted light from a photodiode into a waveform and displays a graphic display of the pulse waveform on computer screen. As well as the optoelectronic sensor, the system utilizes a Texas Instrument designed circuit board which in turn transfers the signal to the computer contains the downloaded ASI proprietary algorithm which analysis the generated plethysmograph. The ASI System measures and analyzes the generated pulse waveforms to produce heart rate and plethysmograph of the patient's blood circulation.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description mentions a "proprietary algorithm" for analyzing the plethysmograph, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts like training data or neural networks. The analysis appears to be based on traditional signal processing techniques.

No

The device is described as a measurement device for pulse waveform and heart rate, with no indication of providing any treatment or therapy.

Yes
Explanation: The device measures pulse waveform and heart rate and analyzes generated pulse waveforms to produce a plethysmograph of the patient's blood circulation, which are diagnostic measurements. Its intended use is to provide non-invasive measurement of pulse waveform and heart rate.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components including an optoelectronic sensor (LED and photodiode), an FDA approved pulse oximeter fingertip probe, and a Texas Instrument designed circuit board. While it utilizes a proprietary algorithm (software), it is integrated with and dependent on these physical components for its function.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device provides non-invasive measurement of pulse waveform and heart rate by photoelectric plethysmography. This involves placing a sensor on the finger and measuring light transmission through the tissue.
  • No Sample Analysis: There is no mention of collecting or analyzing any biological samples from the patient. The measurement is performed directly on the body.

Therefore, since the device operates by non-invasively measuring physiological signals from the body rather than analyzing samples taken from the body, it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Nida Shoubash:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.
