Intended Use
The BP-2BIO Digital Blood Pressure Monitor is a device intended to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate of an adult individual by using a non-invasive technique in which an inflatable cuff is wrapped around the upper arm.
Device Description
The BP-2BIO Digital Blood Pressure Monitor is designed to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate of an individual by using a noninvasive technique which an inflatable cuff is wrapped around the upper arm. Our method to define systolic and diastolic pressures is similar to the auscultatory method but uses an electronic capacitive pressure sensor rather than stethoscope and mercury manometer. The sensor converts tiny alteration in cuff pressure to electrical signals; by analyzing those signals to define the systolic, diastolic and calculating pulse rate is a well known technique in the market so called "oscillometric method".

No
The description explicitly states the device uses the "oscillometric method," a well-established technique for blood pressure measurement that does not inherently involve AI or ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or related terms in the document.

No
The device is a digital blood pressure monitor used for measurement, not for treatment or therapy.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate, which are physiological parameters used to assess an individual's health status. This measurement provides information that can be used by healthcare professionals for diagnosis or monitoring purposes, fitting the definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly mentions an inflatable cuff, an electronic capacitive pressure sensor, and the oscillometric method, all of which are hardware components and physical measurement techniques, not solely software. The performance studies also detail hardware-related testing like drop testing and vibration testing.

Based on the provided information, the BP-2BIO Digital Blood Pressure Monitor is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to measure blood pressure and pulse rate by applying a cuff to the upper arm. This is a non-invasive measurement of physiological parameters within the body.
  • Device Description: The device uses an electronic pressure sensor and the oscillometric method to measure blood pressure. This method involves analyzing pressure changes within the cuff, which is an external interaction with the body, not an analysis of samples taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or the use of reagents, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. The BP-2BIO measures a physiological parameter directly from the body's response to the cuff pressure.

5. Intended Use:

The BP-2BIO Digital Blood Pressure Monitor is a device intended to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate of an adult individual by using a non-invasive technique in which an inflatable cuff is wrapped around the upper arm.

ଚ. Comparison to Predicate Devices:

Both devices use the well known oscillometric method within the software algorithm to determine the systolic, diastolic and pulse rate. A similar arm cuff is inflated automatically, deflate rate is controlled but a factory set bleed valve and the deflation pressures are transferred via tubing to a sensor in both units. Each device uses a similar capacitance-type pressure sensor to translate the pressure variations to electrical signals that can be interpreted by an integrating circuit. Once the reading is determined each unit operates a solenoid valve to release the pressure to zero. Our Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP-B21O, differs from the predicate device in the software interface to the sensor which determines the system accuracy.

The interface between the sensor and the microprocessor determines the system's accuracy. For our Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP-B2IO, the software is capable of a split slope resolution to improve accuracy over the entire range. Since the range is "split" into three sections (0 to 100mmHg) (100 to 200mmHq) (200 to 300mmHg) error due to nonlinearity is reduced by the ability to adjunct the slope to best fit the output curve. A nonlinearity of 1 % is reduced to .33% by splitting the span into three separate linear relations. This way the sensor is matched to the software by using a series of jumpers that profile the slopes to the output of the sensor.

The Digital Blood Pressure Monitor Model BP-B210 has field calibration access; this mode is initiated by depressing both the start and the on button for over 5 seconds. A sleeve on the input tube fitting can be removed so that the fitting can be inserted into the unit in a manner to bypass the pressure bleed valve to close the pressure system and enable it to respond to the input pressure for calibration check.
