Intended Use
The Hillrom™ Heart and Respiration Rate Monitoring System powered by Early Sense is used with compatible bed system models and is intended for continuous measurement of respiration rate (RR) in an automatic, contact-less manner. The system is indicated for use in children, adolescents, and adults in hospitals or clinical settings. It is intended to be used for the same patient populations and the same settings, within these ranges, as the bed with which it is used. The system has been validated to withstand up to 700 lb (318 kg). NOTE: Do not exceed the limit of the bed system for weight, population, or use setting.
Device Story
System provides continuous, contact-free heart and respiration rate monitoring; utilizes piezoelectric sensor placed under mattress on hospital bed frame. Sensor captures mechanical signals; software analyzes and interprets data to derive heart and respiratory rates. Output displayed on bed's graphical caregiver interface (GCI); system transmits data via wired/wireless channels to Hillrom Connectivity Solution. Alerts (audible/visible) triggered when rates exceed predefined thresholds; integrates with existing nurse call systems. Used by clinicians in hospitals/clinical settings to aid evaluation of patient clinical status; adjunctive tool only. Benefits include continuous monitoring without patient contact, facilitating timely clinical intervention.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including software verification and validation, electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2), wireless coexistence (IEEE/ANSI C63.27), and usage life testing.
Technological Characteristics
Contactless piezoelectric sensing unit; ABS and polycarbonate construction. Dimensions 42 x 21 x 1.4 cm; weight 730g. Powered by AC source via bed frame connection. IPX4 water resistance. Connectivity via wired/wireless modules to Hillrom Connectivity Solution and nurse call systems. Software level of concern: Moderate.
Indications for Use
Indicated for continuous, automatic, contact-less measurement of heart rate and respiration rate in children, adolescents, and adults in hospital or clinical settings. Contraindicated for use exceeding the weight, population, or setting limits of the host bed system.
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.

#### III. PREDICATE DEVICE
Hill-Rom® Vitals Monitoring System powered by EarlySense® (K180079)
### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Hillrom™ Heart and Respiration Rate Monitoring System powered by EarlySense is designed for continuous and contact-free measurement of heart and respiratory rate (also referred to as Bed Sensing Unit). This device is used with a hospital bed system which is exempt from 510(k) premarket submission requirements. The Bed Sensing Unit (sensor) plugs into the bed frame to both receive power and to transmit data. Data from the System is available on the bed's graphical caregiver interface (GCI)/display unit and can be transmitted through wired and wireless communication channels to Hillrom Connectivity Solution (also known as (aka)- Hillrom Digital Health Gateway) for display, use, and storage. Additionally, the System can transmit alerts to an existing hardwired Nurse Call system, speakers, and/or on/off alert lights within a bed system. The healthcare professional can adjust monitoring parameters by interacting with the bed's GCl. These parameters include hospital-defined alert thresholds, display settings, and alert configurations. The system provides alerts when patient heart rate and/or respiratory rate are recorded that are above or below the predefined thresholds.
