The Radius VSM and accessories are intended to be used as both a wearable multi-parameter patient monitor and an accessory to a multi-parameter patient monitor that is intended for multi-parameter physiological patient monitoring in hospital and healthcare facilities.

The Radius VSM and accessories are indicated for the monitoring of hemodynamic (including ECG, arrhythmia detection, non-invasive blood pressure, SpO2, Pulse Rate, PVi, heart rate, and temperature), and respiratory (e.g., impedance, acoustic, and pleth-based respiration rate) physiological parameters along with the orientation and activity of adults.

The Radius VSM and accessories are indicated for the non-invasive continuous monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and Pulse Rate (PR) of well or poorly perfused adults during both no motion and motion conditions.

The Radius VSM and accessories are indicated for continuous monitoring of skin temperature of adults.

The Radius VSM and accessories are indicated for monitoring of the orientation and activity of patients including those susceptible to pressure ulcers.

The Radius VSM and accessories are indicated for the continuous non-invasive monitoring of PVi as a measure of relative variability of the photoplethysmograph (pleth) of adults during no motion conditions. PVi may be used as a noninvasive dynamic indicator of fluid responsiveness in select populations of mechanically ventilated adult patients. Accuracy of PVi in predicting fluid responsiveness is variable and influenced by numerous patient, procedure and device related factors. PVi measures the variation in the plethysmography amplitude but does not provide measurements of stroke volume or cardiac output. Fluid management decisions should be based on a complete assessment of the patient's condition and should not be based solely on PVi.

Devices with Masimo technology are only indicated for use with Masimo accessories.

Radius VSM Accessories:

Radius VSM ECG Electrodes are disposable, single-patient use ECG electrodes intended to acquire ECG signals from the surface of the body. They are indicated for use on adults for up to 3 days of skin surface contact.

Radius VSM Blood Pressure Cuffs are accessories intended to be used with a noninvasive blood pressure measurement system to measure blood pressure. They are indicated for use on adults during no motion conditions.

The Radius VSM and accessories are an FDA cleared (K223498), wearable, battery-operated, multi-modular patient monitoring platform that allows for the ability to scale and tailor the use of different monitoring technologies based upon the hospital and clinician's assessment of what technologies are appropriate.

As part of this submission, a MAP feature is being added to the Radius VSM. The feature is a software feature that uses the previously cleared systolic and diastolic measurement capabilities to automate the calculation of MAP using the following formula: MAP = 1/3* Systolic + 2/3*Diastolic.

The MAP is calculated by the Radius VSM NIBP Module and displayed on the Radius VSM Wearable Monitor. There were no other features added as part of this submission.

The provided 510(k) clearance letter and summary discuss the addition of a Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) feature to the previously cleared Radius VSM and Accessories device. The primary focus of the performance data section is on validating this new MAP feature.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, based on the provided document:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document states that the acceptance criterion for Blood Pressure (including MAP) is:

"Meets ISO 81060-2 (Mean difference of ≤5 mmHg with a standard deviation of ≤8 mmHg)"

The document directly states that the results of the clinical testing supported the clinical performance of the MAP in accordance with ISO 81060-2. While specific numerical results (e.g., the exact mean difference and standard deviation achieved) are not explicitly provided in the summary table, the clearance implies that these metrics fell within the specified ISO 81060-2 limits for the MAP feature.

Study Details for MAP Feature Validation

1. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

   • Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample size (number of subjects/patients) used for the clinical test set. It only mentions "clinical study data."
   • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin. It indicates it was a "clinical study" and implies it was prospective ("clinical testing is provided to support its performance" for the added feature).

2. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts:

   • Not applicable as the ground truth was established by an objective reference device, not human experts.

3. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

   • Not applicable, as the method for ground truth establishment was comparison to a reference device.

4. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:

   • No, an MRMC study was not done. The study was a comparison of the device's calculated MAP to invasively measured MAP from a reference device. This is a technical performance validation, not a study assessing human reader improvement with AI assistance.

5. If a Standalone Performance (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

   • Yes, this was a standalone performance study. The Radius VSM automatically calculates the MAP based on the NIBP measurements (Systolic and Diastolic Pressure). The clinical testing validated the accuracy of this calculation against a reference standard, without human intervention in the MAP calculation or interpretation for the test itself.

6. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

   • Reference Ground Truth: Invasively measured MAP values from a 510(k) cleared reference device (K171801). This reference device is identified as "IntelliVue Multi-Measurement Module X3." This constitutes a device-based reference standard or instrument-based ground truth.

7. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

   • The document does not provide information about a training set since the MAP feature appears to be a direct calculation using a standard formula (MAP = 1/3* Systolic + 2/3*Diastolic) rather than a machine learning model that requires a training phase. While the device as a whole (Radius VSM) likely had training and validation phases for its other parameters, the specific "addition of a Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) feature" is described as a software feature that "automates the calculation" using a known formula. Therefore, a separate training set for this specific MAP feature is unlikely to have been required or used in the conventional machine learning sense.

8. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:

   • As inferred above, a specific training set and ground truth establishment for this isolated MAP calculation feature are not described, given its nature as a direct formulaic calculation.

Summary of Key Information:

The core of this submission revolves around adding a simple, formula-based calculation for MAP. The primary study presented is a clinical validation confirming that the device's computed MAP aligns with a known industry standard (ISO 81060-2) when compared against an invasive reference device. This is a technical performance validation rather than a complex AI-driven diagnostic study.
