Intended Use
The Citizen CH-491, CH-481 and CH-471 digital arm sphygmomanometers (blood pressure meters) are intended to be used for oscillometric measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse and intended to be sold over-the-counter and to health care professionals, and not primarily under the order or direction of a physician.
Device Description
The Citizen CH-491, CH-481 and CH-471 digital arm sphygmomanometers are noninvasive blood pressure measurement systems that measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse from the user's upper arm. The units are contained in a hard plastic housing that contains a user interface panel, microprocessor and air pump and is connected by tubing to an adjustable arm cuff. The user interface panel has a power switch, a start switch, and a liquid crystal display ("LCD"). The user interface panel for the CH-481 has an additional switch to control the memory function, while the user interface panel for the CH-491 has additional switches to control the clock and memory functions. The device measures blood pressure through the use of an automatically-inflating arm cuff. The cuff automatically deflates during blood pressure measurement. Model CH-471 has a memory function that displays the last blood pressure readout when the system is turned on. Model CH-481 has a memory function that allows the user to retain seven (7) prior blood pressure measurements. Model CH-491 has a memory function that allows the user to retain thirty (30) prior blood pressure measurements and also includes an LCD display that shows blood pressure measurement in a graph format.

No
The description details standard oscillometric blood pressure measurement technology with basic memory functions and an LCD display. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis, interpretation, or prediction.

No.
This device is a diagnostic tool used to measure blood pressure, not to treat a condition. While the information it provides can be used to inform therapeutic decisions, the device itself does not provide therapy.

Yes
The device is a sphygmomanometer that measures systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse, which are diagnostic indicators of a patient's health status.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "noninvasive blood pressure measurement system" contained in a "hard plastic housing" with a "microprocessor and air pump" connected to an "adjustable arm cuff." These are all physical hardware components, indicating it is not a software-only device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These tests are performed outside of the living body (in vitro).
  • Device function: The Citizen CH-491, CH-481, and CH-471 digital arm sphygmomanometers measure blood pressure and pulse directly from the user's upper arm. This is a non-invasive measurement taken on the living body.

The device description and intended use clearly indicate that it is a non-invasive blood pressure measurement system, not a device that performs tests on samples taken from the body.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The Citizen models CH-491, CH-481, and CH-471 represent design changes over the Citizen model CH-401 with respect to the method and procedure for inflation and deflation of the arm cuff. Model CH-491 also adds a clock/watch function and all models have a modified LCD display.

Citizen has determined that these changes have no influence on the correct measuring and the accuracy of systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
