management software applications. The sensor uses Doppler radar to detect respiratory effort, and the respiratory effort signal is analyzed to provide a respiratory rate. A radio wave in the 2.4 GHz ISM band is emitted from the antenna included in the hardware module. The Kai Spot KMS 200 sensor enclosure includes screw holes in a VESA mounting pattern (VESA is a standard mounting configuration), which can be used to connect to any VESA mount, including stands, carts, wall-mounts, or adapters to other stands or carts. A stand is not included with the device; the customer's Biomedical Engineering Department or maintenance service should install the device on a medical-grade stand used for vital signs measurement equipment. Screws to be used for mounting are provided with the device.

# Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Kai Medical Non-Contact Respiratory Rate Spot Check Model KMS 200 is intended for a one-time measurement of respiratory rate, as part of a vital signs assessment. The device is indicated for hospital or clinical use in adult patients. The device is intended to be operated by clinicians and medically qualified personnel. It is available for sale only upon the order of a physician or licensed health care provider.
The Kai Medical Non-Contact Respiratory Rate Spot Check Model KMS 200 is not intended to monitor vital signs. This device is not an apnea monitor
#### Technological Characteristics
The The Kai Spot KMS 200 is a reusable sensor for measuring respiratory rate during vital sign assessments. The Kai Spot KMS 200 uses a low-power radar to sense chest displacement in order to obtain a respiratory rate. When the Kai Spot KMS 200 is operating and facing a patient, the Doppler radar transmits a low-power radio-frequency signal and receives the signal after it has reflected off the patient's torso. The receiver detects a phase shift on the signal due to chest displacement and converts this phase shift into a voltage that is digitized and processed with software, which determines a respiratory rate from the chest motion (respiratory effort) signal. A touch-screen provides the display and user interface for the device. The Kai Spot KMS 200 may communicate over USB with a personal computer (PC) using select Kai Spot data management software applications. The Kai Spot KMS 200 may operate on wall power, USB power from a PC, or power from an external battery.

# Performance Data
The bench performance data demonstrates that the Kai Spot KMS 200 is as safe and effective as the Kai RSpot 100. Bench performance data further demonstrates that the Kai Spot KMS 200 operates within its specifications, including accuracy over the range of measured respiratory rates.
Because the Kai Spot KMS 200 does not contact the patient, there is no risk of inadvertent exposure to electric current, and there are no patient-contacting materials that could cause allergic reactions or skin sensitivity. The radio signals emitted by the Kai Spot KMS 200 are at a power well below that emitted by many consumer wireless devices and many medical devices.
#### Substantial Equivalence
The Kai Spot KMS 200 has the same intended use, indications, and principles of operation as its predicate device, the Kai RSpot 100, and similar technological characteristics. The minor technological differences between the Kai Spot KMS 200 and its predicate device raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrates that the Kai Spot KMS 200 is as safe and effective as the Kai RSpot 100. Thus, the Kai Spot KMS 200 is substantially equivalent.
