Intended Use

The PRESSUREALERT® Pressure Monitoring System monitors the activity of patients who are susceptible to pressure ulcers by measuring pressure at various points of the body. It allows healthcare providers to execute an individualized turn management plan for each patient by continuously monitoring pressure on various points of the body of each patient. The PRESSUREALERT® Pressure Monitoring System provides alerts when patient activity deviates from the pressure prevention parameters set for by the 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

System monitors soft tissue pressure at up to 11 body sites (e.g., sacrum, heels, hips) to prevent pressure ulcers. Consists of wireless pressure-sensing dressing assemblies and management software. Sensors measure pressure; when levels exceed provider-set thresholds, system alerts healthcare staff via Android tablet or web portal. Used in professional facilities (nursing, rehab) to support individualized turn management protocols. Provides real-time monitoring and reporting of pressure events and repositioning status. Benefits patients by reducing risk of soft tissue damage from prolonged pressure on bony prominences.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including ingress protection (IP4X, IPX7), drop testing, battery life (25 days activated), and pressure sensor performance (activation threshold 32 mmHg).

Technological Characteristics

Wireless pressure-sensing dressing assembly; silicone skin adhesive (ISO 10993 compliant); 2.4 GHz wireless transmission; 3 VDC internally powered sensors. System includes Android tablet interface and cloud-based server. Software follows IEC 62304. Sterilization: Non-sterile.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients susceptible to pressure ulcers in medical, nursing, and long-term care facilities. Not for use in patients under 18, pregnant women, or the morbidly obese (BMI 40+).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Product Description The PRESSUREALERT® Pressure Monitoring System is composed of a wireless pressure sensing dressing assembly as part of a system supported by the PRESSUREALERT® Management Software for providing a warning to the healthcare provider that soft tissue pressure has exceeded a predetermined level that, over a period of {5}------------------------------------------------ time, would necessitate that the patient should be moved to prevent or at least reduce the risk of soft tissue damage. The PRESSUREALERT® Pressure Monitoring System functions as a pressure monitoring system with the primary function to monitor a patient that is laying down on their back or otherwise in a position that may result in the patient's weight applying pressure to an area of the patient's body that is susceptible to pressure ulcers/injuries, such as soft tissue overlying a bony prominence. The dressing assembly, with the enclosed pressure sensor, is applied on the patient's body that is susceptible to damage from soft tissue pressure. The identified areas are referred to as "at-risk" in the instructional documentation and intended use and include up to eleven (11) sites defined as the upper spine, head-skull, hip (right or left), Ischia (right or left), heels and elbows (right or left), and sacrum. (See Product Comparison Table in Section 7) The material components of the PRESSUREALERT® Pressure Monitoring System, and described in detail in the Device Description section, includes: - i. PRESSUREALERT® Segmented Oval Dressing - ii. PRESSUREALERT® Round Dressing - iii. PRESSUREALERT® Sacral Dressing - iv. PRESSUREALERT® Oval Sensor - v. PRESSUREALERT® Round Sensor # 6. Indications for Use The PRESSUREALERT® Pressure Monitoring System monitors the activity of patients who are susceptible to pressure ulcers by measuring pressure at various points of the body. It allows healthcare providers to execute an individualized turn management plan for each patient by continuously monitoring pressure on various points of the body of each patient. The PRESSUREALERT® Pressure Monitoring System provides alerts when patient activity deviates from the pressure prevention parameters set for by the healthcare providers.
