The AESCULON®, AESCULON® CHF Clinic™, AESCULON® Hypertension Clinic® and AESCULON® Pacemaker Clinic® are intended for noninvasive continuous monitoring of hemodynamic parameters for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, mobile, and home environments.
Device Story
AESCULON® Version C2 is a noninvasive hemodynamic monitor; measures thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) and ECG via surface electrodes. Applies high-frequency, low-amplitude auxiliary current to outer electrodes; records voltage and ECG between inner electrodes. Calculates hemodynamic parameters including stroke volume (SV), blood flow, contractility (ICON™), and fluid status. Optional modules for NIBP (SunTech Advantage) and SpO2 (Masimo MS-11) integration. Used in hospitals, mobile, and home environments by clinicians. Output provides real-time hemodynamic data to assist in clinical decision-making regarding patient cardiovascular status and fluid management.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence demonstrated via non-clinical performance data.
Technological Characteristics
Noninvasive impedance plethysmograph; uses surface ECG-type electrodes for TEB and ECG recording. High-frequency, low-amplitude current application. Includes optional NIBP and SpO2 modules. Software-based processing of impedance signals (Z0, dZ/dt_min) and flow time (FT).
Indications for Use
Indicated for noninvasive continuous hemodynamic monitoring in adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients in hospital, mobile, and home settings.
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<br>Description: | The AESCULON® Version C2, including the models CHF Clinic™,<br>Hypertension Clinic™ and Pacemaker Clinic™, is a noninvasive<br>comprehensive cardiovascular monitor, also known as a<br>hemodynamic monitor. | |
|------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--|
| | By application of an array of adhesive ECG type surface electrode to<br>the body, the AESCULON® measures thoracic electrical<br>bioimpedance (TEB) and in particular the changes of bioimpedance<br>related to the cardiac cycle. | |
| | The AESCULON® determines hemodynamic parameters with respect<br>to blood flow, vascular system (if the NIBP option is incorporated),<br>contractility and fluid status. | |
| Intended Use: | The AESCULON®, AESCULON® CHF Clinic™, AESCULON®<br>Hypertension Clinic® and AESCULON® Pacemaker Clinic® are<br>intended for noninvasive continuous monitoring of hemodynamic<br>parameters for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients in hospitals,<br>hospital-type facilities, mobile, and home environments. | |
| Technology: | The AESCULON® Version C2, including the models CHF Clinic™,<br>Hypertension Clinic™ and Pacemaker Clinic™, is substantially<br>equivalent to the predicate device AESCULON® Version C1.1 in terms<br>of design, intended use and principal of operation. Measurement of<br>thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) and recording of the ECG is<br>accomplished by attaching an array of ECG type surface electrodes to<br>the patient. A high frequency, low amplitude patient auxiliary current is<br>applied via the outer electrodes and the resulting voltage and the<br>ECG is recorded between the inner electrodes. | |
| | For the estimation of stroke volume (SV) the AESCULON® Version C2<br>(new device) and Version C1.1 (predicate device) use the general<br>relationship | |
| | $SV = V_{EPT} · \bar{V}_{FT} · FT$ | |
| | with $V_{EPT}$ being the volume of electrically participating tissue, $\bar{V}_{FT}$<br>being the mean blood velocity during flow time, and FT being the left<br>ventricular flow time. | |

510(k) Summary
Page 3 of 3
Both the AESCULON® Version C2 (new device) and Version C1.1
(predicate device) derive from the measurement of TEB
- the base impedance
$$Z_0$$
,
- the magnitude of the maximum rate of change of impedance
$$\left| \frac{dZ(t)}{dt} \right|_{MIN}$$
, and
- the left-ventricular flow time
$$FT$$
.
Theory / The AESCULON® Version C2 (new device) and Version C1.1
SV Algorithm (predicate device) do not differ in the theoretical model applied to the
measurement of the magnitude of the maximum rate of change of
impedance
$$\left| \frac{dZ(t)}{dt} \right|_{MIN}$$
, which relates this magnitude to peak aortic
blood acceleration. The AESCULON® Version C2 (new device) and
Version C1.1 derive thereof an index of contractility (ICON™).
Options: The AESCULON® Version C2 (new device) and Version C1.1
(predicate device) may incorporate a module and accessories for
measurement of noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) manufactured or
supplied by SunTech Medical Instruments, Raleigh, NC (model
'Advantage').
The AESCULON® Version C2 (new device) and Version C1.1
(predicate device) may incorporate a module and accessories for
pulse oximetry (SpO2) manufactured or supplied by Masimo, Irvine,
CA (Model 'MS-11').
Summary Non- Demonstration of substantial equivalence between the AESCULON®
Clinical Testing: Version C2 (new device) and the Version C1.1 (predicate device) was
based on an assessment of non-clinical performance data.
Summary Clinical testing not part of this submission.
Clinical Testing:
Conclusion: It is concluded that the AESCULON® Version C2 is as safe, as
effective, and performs as well as the predicate device Version C1.1.
