Indications for Use
The ZOE™ Fluid Status Monitor is intended for use by qualified health care practitioners, under the direction of a physician, for the non-invasive monitoring and management of patients with fluid management problems in a variety of medically accepted clinical applications. Prescription Use (Per 21 CFR 801.109)
Device Story
ZOE™ Fluid Status Monitor is a non-invasive, battery-powered thoracic base impedance monitor. It applies minimal current to the patient to measure electrical impedance changes in the thorax corresponding to aortic blood flow and heartbeat. Base impedance (Zo) decreases with increased fluid and rises with decreased fluid. The device uses a proprietary algorithm to calculate Zo values. It is intended for use by qualified healthcare practitioners under physician direction in clinical settings. Output provides fluid status data to assist clinicians in managing patients with fluid-related conditions, potentially aiding in early warning of fluid status changes.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance data was submitted; however, specific study results, sample sizes, or statistical metrics were not detailed in the provided documentation. The device relies on substantial equivalence to predicate devices and compliance with electrical safety standards (UL 2601-1/CSA C22.2 No. 60601, EN 60601-1:2003, EN 60601-1-2).
Technological Characteristics
Thoracic base impedance monitor; battery-powered. Uses disposable silver/silver chloride electrodes. Complies with UL 2601-1, CSA C22.2 No. 60601, EN 60601-1:2003, and EN 60601-1-2 standards. Proprietary algorithm for Zo calculation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with fluid management problems, those taking diuretic medication, living with heart failure, living with end-stage renal disease, recovering from coronary artery disease-related events, or suffering from recurrent dehydration. Contraindicated for patients with hydrogel allergies, skin sensitivities to hydrogel, or skin breakdown at chest electrode sites.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An impedance plethysmograph is a device used to estimate peripheral blood flow by measuring electrical impedance changes in a region of the body such as the arms and legs.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a body composition analyzer which is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical condition, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.

### • Device Description:
The ZOE™ Fluid Status Monitor is a non-invasive, battery powered thoracic base impedance monitor designed as an 'early warning' monitor for determining changes in the fluid status of patients with fluid management problems.
The ZOE works by applying a minimal current to the patient. measuring electrical impedance changes throughout the thorax as aortic blood flow increases and decreases in response to each heartbeat. Base Impedance also known as Zo, decreases when fluid increases and rises when less fluid exists in the chest. This device incorporates a proprietary algorithm to calculate the Zo value.
The ZOE is designed for use with disposable, self-adhesive silver / silver chloride electrodes that are readily available / commercially approved within the United States for other approved cardiovascular monitoring systems.
- · Indications for Use Statement:
{1}------------------------------------------------
K042113
page 2 of 3
#### The ZOE™ Fluid Status Monitor is indicated for patients:
- With fluid management problems o
- Taking diuretic medication o
- Living with Heart Failure o
- Living with End-stage Renal Disease o
- Recovering from Coronary Artery Disease related event o
- Suffering from Recurrent Dehydration o
#### Contraindications for Use .
The ZOE™ Fluid Status Monitor is contraindicated for use with patients:
- With allergies to electrode hydrogel O
- Skin sensitivities to electrode hydrogel o
- Skin breakdown in areas on the chest where ZOE electrode placement is o required.
#### • Clinical Performance Data
Clinical performance data has been submitted.
#### · Rationale for Substantial Equivalence
- 1. The ZOE™ Fluid Status Monitor patient interface design is very similar to the predicate device [IQ System (Impedance Plethysmograph Monitor {DSB}) already approved by the FDA and currently being marketed by NMT, LLC]
- 2. The INTENDED USES and the OPERATING PRINCIPLES (i.e. Effectiveness) of the ZOE™ Fluid Status Monitor are the SAME as the Zo measurement function of the predicate device.
- 3. The OPERATIONAL FEATURES of the ZOE™ Fluid Status Monitor are the SAME or SIMILAR to those offered by the predicate device
- 4. The SAFETY FEATURES of the ZOE™ Fluid Status Monitor are the SAME or very SIMILAR to those offered by the predicate device.
Therefore, in summary, the ZOE™ Fluid Status Monitor is substantially equivalent to the Zo measurement feature in the identified predicate device that has previously been allowed for commercial distribution in the United States.
{2}------------------------------------------------
## · Safety and Effectiveness
The ZOE™ Fluid Status Monitor complies with the electrical standards of the Underwriters Laboratories UL 2601-1 / CSA C22.2 No. 60601 and has passed an inspection to these standards by an independent testing house. The ZOE underwent independent scrutiny and testing to assess the overall electrical safety and EMI safety. The ZOE met all electrical and electromagnetic compatibility (EMI) safety requirements set forth in the European national Safety Requirements LVD Low voltage Directive testing to Safety of Medical Devices EN 60601-1:2003, EMC testing to Emissions / Immunity Requirements for EMC/EMI requirements for Medical Devices EN 60601-1-2 which reasonably assures the device is safe when used as directed for its prescribed intended use.
The ZOE does not raise any new issues of safety, effectiveness or performance of the device when compared to the existing predicate device.
#### · Conclusions
The data submitted in this 510(k) Premarket Notification, for the ZOE Fluid Status Monitor demonstrates that this product is substantially equivalent with respect to the indications for use, operating principles, operational features, and safety features to the identified legally marketed predicate device. With the information provided, the safety and effectiveness of the product can be reasonably assured, and we believe that this device clearly meets the requirement for a "Substantial Equivalence" decision in accordance with the 510(k) guidelines.
