Intended Use

The Aktiia G0 Blood pressure monitoring system consists of a wrist worn monitor and an oscillometric cuff. The system is intended for measuring blood pressure and pulse rate based on using a Pulse Wave technique in adults aged from 22 to 59 years old with wrist circumference ranging from 14 cm to 21 cm following a calibration process (every 24 hours) using the oscillometric blood pressure cuff.

The Aktiia G0 Blood pressure monitoring system is intended for spot-checking of adult patients for home use.

Device Description

The Aktiia G0 Blood Pressure Monitoring System measures blood pressure and pulse rate (spot check) based on the analysis of Photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. Aktiia G0 Blood Pressure Monitoring System consists of the following components:

  • Bracelet
  • Charger (for the Bracelet)
  • Aktiia Init I1 (cuff)
  • Mobile App
  • Backend Software and Algorithm (in the Cloud)

The Aktiia G0 Blood Pressure Monitoring System hardware component, referred to as the bracelet, is responsible for PPG data acquisition on the user's wrist. It is composed of a data logging unit called the pod and of a detachable strap that is intended to secure the pod to the user's wrist. The pod uses the bracelet's electronics and PPG sensor. The bracelet's internal battery is located inside the pod and is recharged using a pin to USB docking station using a provided charger.

A calibration process (also referred to as initialization) is required prior to converting blood pressure values from optical data. This calibration process uses reference blood pressure values measured with an oscillometric blood pressure monitor (cuff) also referred to as Aktiia Init I1.

The Aktiia G0 Blood Pressure Monitoring System includes a mobile application for displaying data to the user and uses a cloud server referred to as the backend for data storage. The backend also hosts the algorithm which converts optical data generated by the bracelet into blood pressure and pulse rate data.

AI/ML Overview

The FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the Aktiia G0 Blood Pressure Monitoring System (K250415) provides details on the acceptance criteria and the study conducted to prove the device meets these criteria.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The core acceptance criterion for blood pressure measurement accuracy for both the G0 System and the Aktiia Init I1 cuff is compliance with ISO 81060-2. For pulse rate, a specific RMSE threshold is provided.

Acceptance CriterionReported Device Performance
Blood Pressure Accuracy: Complies with ISO 81060-2:2018 (for both G0 System and Aktiia Init I1 cuff)"When comparing BP measurements of reference methods to the G0 Blood Pressure Monitoring System and the Aktiia Init I1 achieved the requirements of ISO 81060-2:2018 and accurately displayed blood pressure."
Pulse Rate Accuracy: RMSE ≤ 3 beats per minute (bpm) when compared to ECG readings.Not explicitly stated if this threshold was met, but the study was designed to achieve it: "The primary endpoint required that the root mean square error (RMSE) of pulse rate measurements remain ≤3 beats per minute (bpm) when compared to ECG readings." The implication is that the primary endpoint was satisfied for clearance.

2. Sample Sizes and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size:
    • Blood Pressure: The document states that "Clinical validations of blood pressure per ISO 81060-2:2018 were performed." ISO 81060-2:2018 generally requires a minimum of 85 subjects for accuracy testing, evenly distributed across specific blood pressure ranges. While the exact number isn't explicitly stated for the BP validation itself, the pulse rate study involved 85 participants, and it's highly likely that the blood pressure validation used the same or a very similar cohort given it was also a clinical investigation aiming for ISO compliance.
    • Pulse Rate: 85 participants were included in the final dataset for the pulse rate validation study (NCT06565780), with 1273 simultaneous pulse rate measurements collected.
  • Data Provenance: The study aimed for "a representative US population cohort," which implies the data originated from the United States. The study was a prospective clinical investigation (NCT06565780).

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

The document does not explicitly state the number of experts or their specific qualifications for establishing the ground truth for the blood pressure measurements. However, for blood pressure, the ground truth reference method was double auscultation. This method inherently involves human observers (typically trained medical professionals) taking readings.

For pulse rate, the ground truth was an electrocardiogram (ECG), which is a gold standard instrumental measurement and does not inherently require expert human interpretation for establishing pulse rate.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Blood Pressure: The ground truth was established by "double auscultation." This method typically involves two independent observers taking blood pressure readings, and potentially a third if there is a significant discrepancy. The document does not specify the exact adjudication protocol (e.g., 2+1, 3+1), but conformity to ISO 81060-2 implies a standardized, typically adjudicated, process for reference measurements.
  • Pulse Rate: The ground truth was an ECG. Adjudication for instrumental measurements like ECG usually refers to the process of interpreting or reviewing the ECG waveform, but for simple pulse rate determination, the automated measurement from the ECG device is considered the ground truth. There is no mention of human adjudication for the ECG-derived pulse rate.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly mentioned for the Aktiia G0 Blood Pressure Monitoring System. The device is a "blood pressure monitoring system," not an interpretation device like an AI for medical imaging. The evaluation focuses on the accuracy of the device's measurements against established reference methods, not on how human readers' performance is improved by AI assistance in diagnosis or interpretation.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

Yes, a standalone performance evaluation was conducted. The clinical validation studies (ISO 81060-2 for BP, NCT06565780 for PR) assessed the accuracy of the Aktiia G0 system's measurements (algorithm output) against reference methods (double auscultation for BP, ECG for PR).

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Blood Pressure: Expert consensus via double auscultation (a highly standardized and accepted clinical method for reference blood pressure measurement).
  • Pulse Rate: Instrumental data (electrocardiogram - ECG), which is considered a gold standard for heart rate measurement.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not provide information regarding the sample size used for the training set of the algorithm. It only details the clinical validation (test) set.

9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

The document does not provide information on how the ground truth for the training set was established. It only details the establishment of ground truth for the test set used in the clinical validation studies. Given that the algorithm is described as "Pulse-Wave Analysis (PWA)," it would conceptually involve matching optical signal data to simultaneously acquired reference blood pressure measurements (likely oscillometric cuff or arterial line) to train the model, but these specifics are not in the provided text.

into blood pressure and pulse rate data.

Intended Use/Indications for Use

21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)

The Aktiia G0 Blood pressure monitoring system consists of a wrist worn monitor and an oscillometric cuff. The system is intended for measuring blood pressure and pulse rate based on using a Pulse Wave technique in adults aged from 22 to 59 years old with wrist circumference ranging from 14 cm to 21 cm following a calibration process (every 24 hours) using the oscillometric blood pressure cuff.

The Aktiia G0 Blood pressure monitoring system is intended for spot-checking of adult patients for home use.

Indications for Use Comparison

21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)

G0 Blood Pressure Monitoring System:
Both the subject and predicate devices are intended to track blood pressure changes in an adult population and home-use environment by transforming optical signals using a pulse-wave based algorithm, following a calibration process. Both devices are wrist worn devices intended to record optical data from an individual's wrist and have the same contact classification and duration.

Both the subject device and predicate device are indicated for spot check measurements of blood pressure and pulse rate for home use.

The predicate device has additional indications than the subject device which includes monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin and an intended use beyond home use which includes hospitals, clinics, and long-term care. These broader indications are not included in the indications of the subject device.

These additional indications do not impact the similarities between the intended use of the subject device and the predicate device as both devices have the same intended use related to blood pressure and pulse rate monitoring.

Aktiia Init I1 (Cuff):
The predicate device for the cuff has the same intended use as the subject device.

Technological Comparison

21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)

G0 Blood Pressure Monitoring System:

Sensing Technology
Both devices use reflective photoplethysmography (PPG) sensing technologies. The Aktiia G0 Blood pressure monitoring system makes use of a green LED emission while the Biobeat (BB-613WP) predicate device uses red and infrared LEDs emission. The safety of the green LED emission of the Aktiia G0 Blood Pressure Monitoring system was verified to meet the requirements of IEC 62471. Moreover, the capability of the green LED to capture PPG signals for data range of skin color tones was demonstrated through clinical studies. There are no significant technological similarities between both devices and the minor differences do not raise any new questions related to safety and effectiveness in regard to the subject device.

Power Supply and Bluetooth Radiotechnology
Both devices are battery powered and contain electronics that make use of Bluetooth radio technology to transfer data. Both devices are FCC 60601-1-2:2014 compliant for electromagnetic compatibility and IEC 60601-1 for electrical safety and are validated for home use according to IEC 60601-11:2015. Lastly, the subject device's Bluetooth module is compliant with ETSI 300328 for radio emissions limits.

Software, Calibration, and Data Analysis
Both devices use software for data acquisition, data analysis, data storage and both devices use a mobile device as an external display unit for data visualization. The Aktiia G0 blood pressure monitoring system differs from the predicate device in the following aspects:

i) the algorithm responsible for blood pressure estimation is not embedded on the device itself but on a secured cloud server and

ii) the computed data are stored on a secured cloud server and not on a mobile device.

To ensure safety and effectiveness, all software elements in the Aktiia G0 blood pressure monitoring system were developed and validated per IEC 62304:2006 and IEC 62304:2015 A1 Guidance. Both devices require a calibration process using an oscillometric blood pressure monitor. Both devices use similar pulse-wave based algorithms for evaluation of blood pressure from optical data. While the Aktiia G0 blood pressure monitoring system makes use of a Pulse-Wave Analysis (PWA) algorithm, the BB-613WP predicate device makes use of a Pulse-Wave Transit Time (PWTT) algorithm. Both algorithms utilize the same pulse-wave principle that tracks blood pressure changes by detecting changes in the elasticity of the arteries as measured from optical data.

K250415
Page 3 of 4

ISO 81060-2 Standard Compliance
Aktiia performed clinical testing to validate the accuracy and precision of the measured blood pressure in the seated and relaxed position for a representative US population cohort. When comparing the blood pressure measurements to a reference method (double auscultation) against the blood pressure measurements from the Aktiia G0 blood pressure monitoring system, it was shown that the subject device achieves the clinical accuracy and precision requirements of ISO 81060-2, thus showing that the subject device meets or exceeds the level of effectiveness of the predicate device.

Conclusion:
In summary, Aktiia's subject device and the predicate device (Biobeat) are substantially equivalent. Both have very similar indications for use with Aktiia's device having the same indication for providing spot check measurements of blood pressure and pulse rate. Both devices use an optical sensor for measuring both blood pressure and pulse rate and utilize similar pulse-wave principles in converting optical sensor data to blood pressure and pulse rate data. Although there are minor differences related to the use of specific optical wavelengths in the technological characteristics between the subject device and its predicate, these differences do not raise questions of safety or effectiveness, and the testing established equivalent safety and effectiveness between the subject and predicate device.

Aktiia Init I1 (cuff)
The subject device and predicate device have the same technological characteristics. They both measure blood pressure and pulse rate in adults using the oscillometric method where the cuff is placed on the upper arm. Both devices utilize a rechargeable battery and are capable of transmitting the data via bluetooth to connected devices. Both devices use similar materials and have completed biocompatibility testing in compliance with ISO 10993-1.

The only minor difference in technologies between the two devices is that predicate device has an LCD display and the subject device displays blood pressure value and pulse rate in Aktiia's mobile application. This difference does not impact the safety and effectiveness between the two devices as the information being displayed (blood pressure and pulse rate) is the same. Usability testing has been performed to validate that the display of the cuff data in the Aktiia mobile application does not impact safety and effectiveness.

Clinical validations of blood pressure per ISO 81060-2:2018 were performed for the G0 Blood Pressure Monitoring System as well as the Aktiia Init I1 (cuff) that is used for calibration purposes. When comparing BP measurements of reference methods to the G0 Blood Pressure Monitoring System and the Aktiia Init I1 achieved the requirements of ISO 81060-2:2018 and accurately displayed blood pressure.

The validation of pulse rate (PR) accuracy for the Aktiia G0 system was conducted as part of the NCT06565780 clinical investigation and compared the device's pulse rate measurements to a reference electrocardiogram (ECG). A total of 85 participants were included in the final dataset, with 1273 simultaneous pulse rate measurements collected under both seated relaxed conditions and during induced blood pressure changes. The primary endpoint required that the root mean square error (RMSE) of pulse rate measurements remain ≤3 beats per minute (bpm) when compared to ECG readings.

The baseline demographic analysis of the 85 subjects included in the study showed a fairly balanced distribution across key categories. Sex distribution consisted of 47% male (40 subjects) and 53% female (45 subjects). The age range spanned from 22 to 59 years, with 49% of participants aged 22-39 years and 51% aged 40-59 years. Racial diversity was represented as follows: 71% White (60 subjects), 18% Black (15 subjects), 8% Asian (7 subjects), 3% categorized as Other (3 subjects). Ethnicity-wise, 21% of the participants identified as Hispanic (18 subjects), while 79% were Non-Hispanic (67 subjects). This distribution ensured a broad representation of the U.S. population as required by study protocol.

In terms of safety outcomes, only one adverse event (AE) was reported. One participant described experiencing a mild sensation of energy at the device site, though without pain, discomfort, or heat-related complaints. The event was categorized as unexpected, non-serious, and with an unclear relationship to the investigational device or study procedures. The AE resolved completely without residual effects, and no further safety concerns were identified. Overall, the study confirmed the safety and effectiveness of the G0 blood pressure monitoring system in a clinical setting for measuring blood pressure and pulse rate.

The G0 Blood Pressure Monitoring System is as safe and effective as the predicate device. The G0 Blood Pressure Monitoring System has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor differences in indications do not affect the intended monitoring use of the device and do not affect its safety and effectiveness when used as labeled. In addition, the minor technological differences between the G0 Blood Pressure Monitoring System and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the G0 Blood Pressure Monitoring System is as safe and effective. Thus, the G0 Blood Pressure Monitoring System is substantially equivalent.
