Intended Use
DynaSense monitors orientation and activity of patients susceptible to pressure ulcers. It allows healthcare providers to implement individualized turn management plans and continuously monitor each patient. DynaSense provides alerts when patient orientation or activity deviates from parameters set by healthcare providers. The device is intended for use in medical, nursing and long-term care facilities including independent living, assisted living and rehabilitation facilities.
Device Story
DynaSense is a patient monitoring system for hospitals and long-term care facilities; aids in pressure ulcer prevention. System inputs: patient orientation and activity data from wearable Patient Sensors. Data transmitted wirelessly to wall-mounted Relay Antennas; relayed to a USB RF Transceiver connected to a computer. Mesh Network Server Software manages network and collects data; User Interface displays status of multiple patients. Healthcare providers set activity/orientation parameters; system triggers alerts when patient status deviates from these settings. Output enables providers to implement individualized turn management plans; facilitates continuous monitoring. Benefits include improved patient care through automated tracking and timely intervention for pressure ulcer prevention.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Performance supported by bench testing, including design verification (software verification), electrical safety, and electromagnetic compatibility testing.
Technological Characteristics
System components: Patient Sensors, Relay Antennas, USB RF Transceiver, Mesh Network Server Software, and User Interface software. Wireless communication via RF network. Relay Antennas connect to standard electrical outlets. Software manages network and data collection. No specific material standards or algorithm architecture details provided.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients susceptible to pressure ulcers in medical, nursing, and long-term care facilities (including independent living, assisted living, and rehabilitation) to monitor orientation and activity for turn management.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A bed-patient monitor is a battery-powered device placed under a mattress and used to indicate by an alarm or other signal when a patient attempts to leave the bed.

#### INDICATIONS FOR USE
DynaSense monitors orientation and activity of patients susceptible to pressure ulcers. It allows healthcare providers to implement individualized turn management plans and continuously monitor each patient. DynaSense provides alerts when patient orientation or activity deviates from parameters set by healthcare providers. The device is intended for use in medical, nursing and long-term care facilities including independent living, assisted living and rehabilitation facilities.
## DEVICE DESCRIPTION
DynaSense is a patient monitoring system that has been designed for use in hospitals, nursing homes, or other patient care facilities to aid standard care procedures for patients who are susceptible to pressure ulcers. The system monitors and reports patient activity and orientation as well as alerts the user (i.e., healthcare provider) when activity levels deviate from parameters set by healthcare providers. DynaSense is comprised of Patient Sensors, Relay Antennas, a USB RF Transceiver, Mesh Network Server Software, and User Interface software.
Each Patient Sensor is associated with a single patient, such that the patient's orientation and activity can be monitored. Data collected by the Patient Sensor is automatically communicated wirelessly to a nearby Relay Antenna, which subsequently relays these data to be displayed on the User Interface and maintained in a database. The system's Relay Antennas that are plugged into electrical outlets on the walls of the facility and the USB RF Transceiver that is plugged into the computer, on which the Mesh Network Server Software is installed or accessed, form a wireless network that allows data to be transmitted for display. The Mesh Network Server Software manages this network of Relay Antennas and USB RF Transceiver and collects the data from the Patient Sensors to allow monitoring of multiple patients on a single screen within the User Interface.
## SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The indications for use for the predicate devices are substantially equivalent to the proposed indications for use for DynaSense. DynaSense has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as those of the predicate devices, the VivaTRAK System (K101109) and the MobileCare Monitor (K090138). Any differences in the technological characteristics between the devices do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness. Thus, DynaSense is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
#### TESTING IN SUPPORT OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DETERMINATION
Performance testing was conducted on DynaSense to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. The testing included the design verification (e.g., software verification), Electrical Safety, and Electromagnetic Compatibility testing. The collective results of the testing demonstrate that the chosen materials, the manufacturing processes, and design of DynaSense meet the established specifications necessary for consistent performance during its intended use. In addition, the
{2}------------------------------------------------
collective testing results demonstrated that DynaSense does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness for monitoring patient activity when compared to the predicate devices.
# CONCLUSION
DynaSense is a patient activity monitoring system, which provides the user with the patient's orientation and preset monitoring alerts. DynaSense has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as those of the predicate devices, the VivaTRAK System and the MobileCare Monitor. Furthermore, device safety and performance testing have demonstrated that the device performs as intended in its intended use environment. As such, DynaSense is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
# SUMMARY
DynaSense is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
