Based on the provided information, the BioZ.com Hemodynamic 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.
  • BioZ.com Function: The BioZ.com Hemodynamic Monitor uses thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) by attaching electrodes to the patient's skin (neck and thorax) and injecting a minimal current to measure hemodynamic parameters. This is a non-invasive, in-vivo measurement technique performed directly on the patient's body, not on a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "monitor a patient's hemodynamic parameters," which are physiological measurements taken from the living patient.

Therefore, the BioZ.com Hemodynamic Monitor falls under the category of in-vivo diagnostic or monitoring devices, not in-vitro diagnostics.

ﻣﺤﻤﺴﺴﺴ

Manufacturer: CardioDynamics International, Corp.

Predicate device 510(k) # K972320

Reason For Submission: Device Modification -- Repackaging

The BioZ.com System is substantially equivalent to its predicate device, the CardioDynamics BioZ Portable System currently being marketed by CardioDynamics International Corp. The justification for this substantial equivalence determination is presented below.

The BioZ.com System is substantially equivalent to the CardioDynamics BioZ Portable System in terms of design. intended use and principals of operation. Both systems are portable in design and for use in the hospital, outpatient and clinical settings. The intended use of each systems is to noninvasively measure a patients hemodynamic parameters using thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB). Monitoring is accomplished by attaching 8 electrodes to the patient (two on each side of the neck and thorax) and injecting a minimal current through the upper electrodes and reading the returning voltage waveform from the inner electrodes.

Since both systems use the same CardioDynamics proprietary DSP circuitry and software, the formulas and algorithms used to calculate the various hemodynamic parameters are essentially the same. In addition, all required input parameters are the same, including patient gender, body frame size, height, weight, age and blood pressure.

The BioZ Portable System and the BioZ.com System are self-contained computer-based products utilizing the same CardioDynamics proprietary DSP circuitry and software. Each system consists of the following components:

  1. Instrument:
  • A. CardioDynamics proprietary DSP and Patient Interface Circuitry
  • B. Intel 80X86 Processor Board
  • C. CardioDynamics proprietary DSP firmware and user software
  • D. Condor Medical grade power supply
  • E. Built in flat-panel screen
  • F. Keyboard/keypad
  • G. Power Cord
    1. Patient Cable
    1. Electrodes/Transducers

The key differences between the two devices are that the CardioDynamics BioZ Portable is based on an off-the-shelf (Dolch brand) PC based system utilizing a full QWERTY keyboard, while the BioZ.com is a CDIc-proprietary platform with built-in keypad and screen (a QWERTY keyboard is an optional accessory). In addition, the BioZ Portable operates exclusively on AC power while the BioZ.com can operate from AC power or from an internal rechargeable battery for limited patient transport use. Although the CardioDynamics proprietary DSP circuitry used in both devices is the same, partitioning changes were made to the boards used in the BioZ com to accommodate the plastic enclosure and different Intel 80X86 family processor chip. The BioZ.com also provides a user-selectable option of a secondary equation for the calculation of the Stroke Volume parameter (Bernstein) in addition to the single Sramek-Bernstein equation in the BioZ portable.

Screen differences were required to accommodate the 320 x 240 dot display of the BioZ.com rather than the 640 x 480 dot display in the BioZ Portable. Screen differences between the BioZ Portable and the BioZ.com include:

  • While the BioZ System offered the Patient Data Entry, Monitoring, Indexed Data, 1. Therapeutic, Indexed Therapeutic, Diagnostic, Interactive Trending and Trending Screens, the BioZ.com System will offer only the Patient Data Entry, Monitoring, Therapeutic, Diagnostic and Trending Screens. User configuration of the Monitoring, Diagnostic, and Trending screen in the BioZ.com makes the additional screens unnecessary.
  • On many of the BioZ Portable Screens, 7 to 10 parameters were shown at any given 2. time. The BioZ.com System will display up to 5 parameters at a time.
  • The parameters shown on the individual BioZ Portable screens were pre-set and could 3. not be changed. The BioZ.com System Monitoring, Diagnostic and Trending Screens can be configured to display a set number of the following parameters:
ECGHeart Rate
Pre-ejection PeriodLeft Ventricular Ejection Time
Systolic Time RatioStroke Volume
Cardiac OutputCardiac Index
End Diastolic VolumeSystemic Vascular Resistance
Left Cardiac WorkSystemic Vascular Resistance indexed
End Diastolic IndexIndex of Contractility
Acceleration IndexLeft Cardiac Work Index
Thoracic Fluid ContentRespiration Rate
    1. The Monitoring Screen in the BioZ.com can be configured to display any two of the following waveforms: Impedance, ECG, ΔZ, dZ/dT, Pacer Impulse, Spike Enhanced ECG and/or no waveform. The BioZ Portable always showed ECG, with a user option for a second waveform of either ΔZ or dZ/dT.

  • The Waveform Screen is new to the BioZ.com. The screen will show the five 6. parameters selected by the user for the Monitoring Screen along with larger and longer displays of two of the waveforms available in the Monitoring Screen.
    1. In the BioZ.com System software, there are a number of default values such as CVP, PAOP, height and weight units, automatic data save timing, etc. The user will be able to change the default values within the BioZ.com Software. The BioZ Portable had limited user control over default values.

Another difference between the BioZ Portable and the BioZ.com System is that the BioZ Portable was able to receive external data from two blood pressure devices and one pulse oximeter. The BioZ.com System will be able to receive and transmit data to many common hospital monitoring systems, using their established, documented protocols.

To demonstrate that the two systems are functionally equivalent, an Accuracy and Equivalency Test was performed comparing the CardioDynamics BioZ.com System to the CardioDynamics BioZ Portable The purpose of the protocol was to demonstrate that the BioZ.com System is substantially equivalent to the CardioDynamics BioZ Portable System. Digitized waveforms from a number of patients with various clinical conditions were input into the BioZ Portable System and then the BioZ.com System. After one minute, three parameters were recorded for each device. The measurement and calculations performed by the device achieved the expected results.
