Intended Use
The Edwards Lifesciences Acumen Assisted Fluid Management (AFM) Software Feature provides the clinician with physiological insight into a patient's estimated response to fluid therapy and the associated hemodynamics. The Acumen AFM Software Feature is intended for use in surgical patients ≥18 years of age, that require advanced hemodynamic monitoring. The Acumen AFM Software Feature offers suggestions regarding the patient's physiological condition and estimated response to fluid therapy. Acumen AFM fluid administration suggestions are offered to the clinician; the decision to administer a fluid bolus is made by the clinician, based upon review of the patient's hemodynamics. No therapeutic decisions should be made based solely on the Assisted Fluid Management suggestions.
Device Description
The Acumen AFM Software Feature (core AFM algorithm + AFM Graphical User Interface) was originally granted in De Novo, DEN190029, on November 13, 2020, to inform clinicians about a patient's fluid responsiveness. The performance of the AFM Software Feature in predicting a patient's fluid responsiveness is measured using response rate and is calculated by reporting the percentage of followed AFM recommendations ("Fluid Bolus Suggested" and "Test Bolus Suggested" prompts) that have the desired change in stroke volume (SV), divided by the total number of AFM recommendations.
With this submission, Edwards is seeking clearance for the AFM Prompt Reclassifier algorithm (AFM PR algorithm) to the Acumen AFM Software Feature. The AFM Prompt Reclassifier algorithm is intended to be used in conjunction with the core AFM algorithm to re-assess the fluid bolus recommendations provided by the core alqorithm. It analyzes the patient's current hemodynamics for either confirming (corroborating) the original prompt or reclassifying the prompts (i.e., reclassify a "Test Bolus Suggested" prompt to a "Fluid Bolus Suggested" prompt or vice versa). In doing so, it acts as a secondary check for the fluid bolus prompts such that a greater number of the "Fluid Bolus Suggested" prompts lead to the desired change in stroke volume. Through refined prompt adjustments informed by real-time hemodynamic data, the AFM PR algorithm aims to improve patient responsiveness, thereby optimizing the impact of the AFM Software Feature on patient hemodynamics.

The outputs of the algorithm include the relative changes in total hemoglobin in blood ( $\Delta$ tHb) and total hemoglobin in blood (tHb) parameters and are derived from the relative change in concentration of total tissue hemoglobin ( $\Delta$ ctHb parameter) measured by the ForeSight Oximeter Cable on the HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform (K213682, cleared June 22, 2022).
The subject algorithm provides relative blood hemoglobin ( $\Delta$ tHb; measured in g/dL of blood) values continuously as a change over time from 0 g/dL. It can also be calibrated using an optional input of reference blood hemoglobin measurements such as ones obtained in vitro from a blood gas analyzer. When calibrated, it provides the value of total blood hemoglobin (tHb).
Additionally, the algorithm also provides three secondary output flags:
o DoNotCalibrate Flag: This flag is intended to indicate when a calibration should not be performed.
o Recalibrate Flag: This flag is intended to indicate when a new calibration is recommended.
o Unstable Flag: This flag is intended to indicate when the input signal ( $\Delta$ ctHb) is unstable.

The HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform is intended for use with compatible Edwards Swan-Ganz and Oximetry Catheters, FloTrac sensors, Acumen IQ sensors, Acumen IQ fluid meter, TruWave DPT sensors, ForeSight sensors, and ClearSight/Acumen IQ finger cuffs.
Device Description
The HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring platform was designed to simplify the customer experience by providing one platform with modular solutions for their hemodynamic monitoring needs. The user can choose from the available optional sub-system modules or use multiple sub-system modules at the same time. This modular approach provides the customer with the choice of purchasing and/or using specific monitoring applications based on their needs. Users are not required to have all of the modules installed at the same time for the platform to function.
HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform, subject of this submission, consists of the HemoSphere Advanced Monitor that provides a means to interact with and visualize hemodynamic and volumetric data on the monitor screen and its five (5) optional external modules: the HemoSphere Swan-Ganz Module (K163381 cleared, April 14, 2017), the HemoSphere Oximetry Cable (K163381 cleared, April 14, 2017), HemoSphere Pressure Cable (K180881 Cleared, November 16, 2018), HemoSphere Technology Module (K213682 cleared, June 22, 2022), HemoSphere ForeSight Module (K213682, June 22, 2022), and the HemoSphere ClearSight Module (K203687 cleared, May 28, 2021). Additionally, the HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform includes the Acumen Hypotension Prediction Index software feature (DEN160044 granted March 16, 2018) and the Acumen Assisted Fluid Management software feature (DEN190029 granted November 13, 2020). The HemoSphere Advanced Monitor also has wired and wireless capabilities, which was originally used only for connecting to a Hospital Information System (HIS) for data charting purposes. This capability is now used to allow it to stream continuously monitored data to the Viewfinder Remote, a mobile device-based application, for remote viewing the information (K211465, cleared July 8, 2021). The remotely transmitted data from the patient monitoring sessions include all hemodynamic parameter data and the associated physiological alarm notifications, historical trend data, and parameter waveform data.
HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring platform as cleared in K213682 cleared June 22, 2022, is being modified as follows:
1) Acumen Assisted Fluid Management Automated Fluid Tracking Mode:
The AFM software feature (AFM algorithm + AFM GUI), which informs clinicians of patient fluid responsiveness (K213682, cleared June 22, 2022), allows for manual fluid tracking, and resides on the HemoSphere Advanced Monitor.
The AFM software feature is being modified to allow for an automated fluid tracking mode as the default mode. Users can switch to the optional manual fluid tracking mode through the advanced settings menu. This automated fluid tracking mode for the AFM software feature is achieved via two components namely, the Acumen AFM Cable and the Acumen IQ fluid meter (both devices subject of this 510(k)). No modifications have been made to the previously cleared AFM algorithm. AFM GUI screens have been updated to account for the automated fluid tracking mode via the Acumen AFM cable and Acumen IO fluid meter.
The Acumen AFM Cable is a reusable cable that connects the Acumen IO fluid meter to the HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform and converts the flow rate received from the Acumen IQ fluid meter to total volume for the HemoSphere monitor to be used by AFM software feature. No modifications have been made to the previously cleared AFM algorithm. AFM GUI screens have been updated to account for the automatic fluid tracking mode. The Acumen IQ fluid meter is a sterile, single use device that measures the flow of fluid delivered to a patient through the intravenous line to which it is connected.
When used together, the Acumen IQ fluid meter with the Acumen AFM Cable connected to a HemoSphere monitor, the fluid volume can be automatically tracked and displayed on the monitor as part of the AFM software feature screens.
2) Automatic Zeroing of the Heart Reference Sensor (HRS)
The ClearSight Module (CSM), initially cleared in K201446 on October 1, 2020, is a non-invasive monitoring platform that includes a Pressure Controller (PC2) that is worn on the wrist, a Heart Reference Sensor (HRS), and the ClearSight/Acumen IQ Finger Cuffs.
The Pressure Controller (also referred to as 'Wrist unit' or PC2) is connected to the patient via a wrist band. The Pressure Controller connects to the ClearSight Module (CSM) on one end and with the Heart Reference Sensor (HRS) and the finger cuff on the other. The connection to the CSM provides power and serial communication. The Pressure Controller is designed to control the blood pressure measurement process and send the finger arterial pressure waveform to the CSM. The CSM software transforms the finger level blood pressure measurements into the conventional radial blood pressure.
In the predicate HemoSphere (K213682, cleared on June 22, 2022), as part of the ClearSight workflow, the user was required to zero the HRS prior to monitoring by aligning both ends of the HRS, the heart end and the finger end, and pressing the "0" button on the HemoSphere Graphical User Interface (GUI). After zeroing the HRS, the user is required to place both ends of the HRS in the appropriate location and then they can begin monitoring.
For the subject device, the Pressure Controller (PC2) firmware has been updated to include a mathematical model that automatically calculates the zero offset of the HRS based on the age of the specific HRS at the time of use. With the addition of the mathematical model, the user is no longer required to zero the HRS prior to start of monitoring since the system now has the zero-offset calculated. As such, the HemoSphere Advanced Monitor graphical user interface (GUI) was updated to remove the Zero HRS step as part of the Zero & Waveform screen and ClearSight setup.
The ClearSight Module firmware was also updated as part of support for the Automatic Zeroing of HRS feature. The firmware update included additional logging to support HRS calibration, bug fixes and updates to communication to the pressure controller to support display of proper HRS calibration information.
3) Patient Query
As cleared in K213682, when the user queried for patient information, all patient records that match the search criteria were sent to the HemoSphere platform (from the Viewfinder Hub) for the user to review. With this update, only 30 records are shared at a time between the Viewfinder Hub and HemoSphere monitor.
