The system is indicated for use in children, adolescents and adults. The operation of the EarlySense has been studied in children (weight ≥ 10 Kg) and adults (weight <111 Kg) during sleep and resting condition. In addition, EarlySense 2.0 System can continuously monitor oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) using pulse oximetry in pediatric (ages 2 years and older), adolescents, and adults at home, hospital, or clinical settings.
Device Story
Contact-less monitoring system; utilizes under-mattress piezoelectric sensing unit to capture mechanical movements; converts movements into electrical signals for heart rate, respiration rate, and movement analysis. Includes optional OEM pulse oximetry module for SpO2. Bedside unit processes signals via microprocessor; displays data on GUI. Used in hospitals, clinics, or homes; operated by clinicians or patients. Accelerometer added to bed unit for sensor positioning and directional info; piezoelectric polymer sensor added to enhance bed-exit detection. Provides continuous physiological data to healthcare providers to assist in clinical decision-making and patient monitoring.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification and validation activities included risk analysis, software V&V, electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental conditions testing. No clinical trials were required as modifications were deemed not to affect performance, effectiveness, or safety compared to the predicate.
Technological Characteristics
Under-mattress piezoelectric sensing unit (ceramic and polymer sensors); accelerometer for positioning; bedside unit with microprocessor, signal amplifiers, filters, and ADC. Connectivity via USB and sensor connectors. Software version 1.0.3. Powered by medical-grade power supply.
Indications for Use
Indicated for continuous monitoring of respiration rate, heart rate, movement, and SpO2 in children (≥10kg, SpO2 ≥2 years), adolescents, and adults. Used in home, hospital, or clinical settings during sleep and resting conditions.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A breathing (ventilatory) frequency monitor is a device intended to measure or monitor a patient's respiratory rate. The device may provide an audible or visible alarm when the respiratory rate, averaged over time, is outside operator settable alarm limits. This device does not include the apnea monitor classified in § 868.2377.

### Regulation Number:
21 CFR Sec. 868.2375 21 CFR Sec. 870.2300 21 CFR Sec. 870.2700
### Product Code:
BZQ, DRT, DQA
#### Predicate Device:
EarlySense (EverOn™1.0S) System (K120465)
### Reason for Submission:
A traditional 510(k) is submitted for the hardware and software modifications made to the cleared EarlySense (EverOn™1.0S) System (K120465).
#### Intended Use/Indications for Use:
The EarlySense 2.0 System is intended for continuous measurement of respiration rate, heart rate and movement, in an automatic contact-less manner, at home, hospital or clinic setting. The system is indicated for use in children, adolescents and adults. The operation of the EarlySense has been studied in children (weight ≥ 10 Kg) and adults (weight <111 Kg) during sleep and resting condition. In addition, EarlySense 2.0 System can continuously monitor oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) using pulse oximetry in pediatric (ages 2 years and older), adolescents, and adults at home, hospital, or clinical settings.
{2}------------------------------------------------
#### Device Description
The modified EarlySense System 2.0 is similar to cleared (EverOn™1.0S) System (K120465) except for the hardware and software changes that are described below.
The cleared (K120465) EarlySense (EverOn™1.0S) System is comprised of the following components:
1. A Bed Sensing Unit based on piezoelectric sensing
2. A Bedside Unit incorporating a medical grade power supply and the following modules:
A Signal Sampling Module consisting of amplifiers, filters and analog to a. digital converter as well as a microprocessor designated to transfer the sampled data to the Signal Processing Module, and
b. A Signal Processing and Display Module.
3. An Optional Oximetry OEM module with communication interface and compatible marketed sensors.
#### Substantial Equivalence
The EarlySense System Model 2.0, subject of this submission, shares exactly the same intended use and indications for use with its predicate device EarlySense (EverOn™1.0S, K120465). The main technological characteristics and principles of operation are also identical to predicate device: EarlySense Model 2.0 is designed for continuous and contact-less monitoring of respiration rate, heart rate and movement in the same manner as its predicate device. The under mattress Bed Sensing Unit converts mechanical movements into an electrical signal in the same way as its predicate device.
The modifications to the cleared (K120465) EarlySense (EverOn™1.0S) were the following:
{3}------------------------------------------------
#### Modifications to the Bed Sensing Unit:
-Addition of the accelerometer component to the Bed Sensing Unit (which helps the user to correctly position the sensor and makes it possible to present the additional directional information also on the GUI)
-Addition of the piezoelectric polymer sensor to the already existing ceramic piezoelectric sensor {in order to increase signal in the bed exit function)
-Addition of Base Plate Handles (integrated handles on the sides of the Bed Sensing Unit to facilitate easy grasping)
#### Modifications to the Bedside Unit:
The Bedside Unit used in the cleared EarlySense Unit was changed to the thinner and lighter Bedside Unit (dimensional changes), which in its turn leaded to several additional hardware changes: e. g; replacement of power supply, speaker's buzzer, communication card, fan, additional USB and sensor's connectors. The software version was also updated to next version 1.0.3.
The cleared (K120465) EarlySense (EverOn™1.0S) and modified EarlySense System 2.0 are identical in the fundamental system principles and mode of operation and the presented modifications are not expected to affect the functionality of the EarlySense 2.0 System. More specifically, the introduced modifications do not constitute any significant change to the indications for use, performance specifications, or labeling.
#### Verification and Validation Activities:
The cleared and modified EarlySense Systems share exactly the same intended use and indications for use, the same fundamental functionality and types of components, and the same fundamental principles and mode of operation. The modifications included software and hardware modifications to the Bedside and Bed Sensing Units.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The EarlySense System 2.0 was subject to the whole range of verification and validation tests:
- 1. Risk analysis (See Section 21 of the current submission)
- 2. Software Verification and Validation (See Section 16 of the current submission)
- 3. Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility ( See Section 17 of the current submission)
- 4. Environmental Conditions Testing (Storage, Operation and Shipping)(See Section 21 of the current submission)
- 5. Performance Bench Testing (See Section 18 of the current submission)
The results of the tests showed, that the modifications to the system did not affect its performance, effectiveness or safety. Therefore, it may be concluded that the modifications introduced in the EarlySense 2.0 System, individually and collectively, could not significantly affect the EarlySense System safety or effectiveness, and thus it may be considered to be substantially equivalent to the previously cleared (K120465) EarlySense System Model 1.0S.
