Indications for Use
The LifeShirt System continuously records respiration, ECG, and body position signals for subsequent presentation and analysis by a licensed physician who reviews the data processed by VivoLogic on a personal computer. In addition, signals from external devices such as a pulse oximeter and blood pressure monitor can be collected and displayed. The system is intended to provide analysis of breathing patterns as an aid in classifying apneas as well as displaying heart rate changes from electrocardiographic waveforms in the wake and sleeping states as well as activities of daily living.
Device Story
Ambulatory monitoring system; records respiration, ECG, body position, and optional pulse oximetry/blood pressure data. Input data stored on CompactFlash card via Handspring Visor worn by patient. Patient inputs symptoms, activities, and medications into Visor. Data transferred to VivoMetrics Data Center for processing via VivoLogic 1.0 software. Physician reviews processed data on PC to analyze breathing patterns, classify apneas, and monitor heart rate changes during sleep and daily activities. System aids diagnosis and treatment planning. Used in home or alternate care settings.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and comparison to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Components: LifeShirt vest with Inductive Plethysmograph sensors, ECG sensors, data cable, Handspring Visor (data collection/storage), PC-based VivoLogic 1.0 analysis software, and VivoMetrics Data Center. Connectivity: CompactFlash memory card, PC-based data transfer. Energy: Battery-powered Handspring Visor.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by one adult during daily activities for recording physiological data for later analysis by a physician. Used in clinical studies or general healthcare where respiratory information is a useful indicator; data provided to physicians as an aid to diagnosis and treatment.
Regulatory Classification

Description:
The LifeShirt is a noninvasive ambulatory monitoring device that continuously monitors and stores respiration and ECG onto a CompactFlash™ memory card within a portable battery powered Handspring Visor® worn on a belt or within a pocket. The patient may be located at home or in an alternate care setting. The monitored subject can enter symptoms, activities, and medications into the Handspring Visor® that becomes part of the digital data stream. An optional NONIN pulse oximeter and Critikon noninvasive blood pressure monitor can be connected into the Visor for recordings during sleep or defined activities. The purpose of this system is to collect and store cardiac, respiratory, and blood pressure data as well as body position, various types of activities annotated with symptoms and a medication diary for subsequent analysis and archival at a data center utilizing the VivoLogic 1.0 software program. Data is transferred to the data center generally after the end of a patient data recording session.

Intended use:
The LifeShirt System continuously records respiration, ECG, and body position signals for subsequent presentation and analysis by a licensed physician who reviews the data processed by VivoLogic on a personal computer. In addition, signals from external devices such as a pulse oximeter and blood pressure monitor can be collected and displayed. The system is intended to provide analysis of breathing patterns as an aid in classifying apneas as well as displaying heart rate changes from electrocardiographic waveforms in the wake and sleeping states as well as activities of daily living.
Summary of technological characteristics:
The LifeShirt system covered by this submission consists of four components, as described below.
1. LifeShirt data acquisition system: This includes the LifeShirt vest with Inductive Plethysmograph sensors. ECG sensors, a data cable, and the connected Handspring Visor® device with software for data collection and storage onto a Flash memory card. This technology is equivalent to that used in the currently marketed RespiTrace PT device.
2. LifeShirt Data Transfer software: This PC based software is used in transmitting the data from the user's PC to the VivoMetrics Data Center.
3. VivoMetrics Data Center: A database operated by VivoMetrics personnel which stores and provides an audit trail for data collected using the LifeShirt system.
4. VivoLogic 1.0 data analysis software: VivoLogic is a PC based application for viewing and analyzing patient data, used by Data Center personnel to provide information to health care providers. This software is equivalent to the currently marketed RespiEvents 4.2 software.
