Intended Use
The Respiree Cardio-Respiratory Monitor is a respiratory monitor intended for hospital-type facilities in non-ICU settings. The Respiree Cardio-Respiratory Monitor is indicated for the non-invasive spot checking of respiration rate (RR) for adult patients.
Device Description
The Respiree Cardio-Respiratory Monitor, Model RS001, is a small respiratory monitor. For measurement of respiration rate (RR), the device is affixed to the chest using a disposable adhesive patch with a hook-and-loop fastener to attach to the monitor. The device uses a vertical-cavity surface-emitting diode to emit optical radiation directed toward the skin. An integrated photodetector in a nearby position senses the diffused collected light. An adaptive signal processing method is used to enhance the device respiratory rate measurements by splitting the signal processing optimizations across different respiratory rate bands. The monitor is powered by a 3.7V rechargeable, lithium-ion battery and a USB charging cable is provided. The Respiree Cardio-Respiratory Monitor also includes optional Bluetooth wireless technology for the wireless transfer of patient data to mobile devices.

No
The description mentions "adaptive signal processing method" but does not explicitly state or imply the use of AI or ML. The clinical validation section describes a traditional benchmarking approach against a reference device and manual scoring, not training or testing of an AI/ML model.

No.
The device is indicated for non-invasive spot checking of respiration rate, which is a diagnostic function for monitoring a physiological parameter, not for treating or preventing a disease or condition.

Yes
The device is described as a "respiratory monitor" indicated for "non-invasive spot checking of respiration rate (RR)". While it doesn't provide a diagnosis itself, monitoring a physiological parameter like respiration rate for clinical use is considered a diagnostic function in the broader sense of providing data used in diagnosis. The comparison to a reference EtCO2 waveform (a diagnostic tool) in its performance study further supports its role in aiding clinical assessment.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components including a vertical-cavity surface-emitting diode, photodetector, battery, and USB charging cable, and describes how it is physically affixed to the chest.

Based on the provided information, the Respiree Cardio-Respiratory Monitor 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.
  • Respiree's function: The Respiree Cardio-Respiratory Monitor is a non-invasive device that measures respiration rate by sensing diffused light from the skin. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a respiratory monitor for non-invasive spot checking of respiration rate. This is a physiological measurement, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Therefore, the Respiree Cardio-Respiratory Monitor falls under the category of a medical device that performs a physiological measurement, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

The clinical validation was conducted to demonstrate that the Respiree Cardio- respiratory Monitor performs adequately for all groups within the intended population. The study had a wide, well-distributed range of comorbidities, age (20-80 years), race (white, black and others), BMI (19.1-45.2) and skin tone (Fitzpatrick skin tone type II-VI), as well as a balanced mix of gender (50% male).

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

Clinical validation of the Respiree Cardio-respiratory Monitor was performed for respiratory rate. Respiree Cardio-respiratory Monitor was benchmarked to Reference EtCO2 waveform (from Datex-Ohmeda) that was manually scored by counting the respiratory peaks per minute on a total of 46 subjects.
The clinical studies demonstrated Respiree Cardio- respiratory Monitor met the respiratory rate accuracy Ams of

§ 868.2375 Breathing frequency monitor.

(a)
Identification. A breathing (ventilatory) frequency monitor is a device intended to measure or monitor a patient's respiratory rate. The device may provide an audible or visible alarm when the respiratory rate, averaged over time, is outside operator settable alarm limits. This device does not include the apnea monitor classified in § 868.2377.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Cherita James:

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.
