Regulation

Device Class
Class 2
Intended Use
The OptoMonitor 3 is intended to measure cardiovascular blood pressure, including in heart chambers, coronary vessels and peripheral vessels, during interventional procedures. Blood pressure measurements provide hemodynamic information, such as fractional flow reserve for the diagnosis and treatment of blood vessels and such as valve gradients during transcatheter aortic valve procedures.
Device Story
OptoMonitor 3 is a reusable signal processor/monitor used in interventional cardiology. It receives pressure signals via fiberoptic sensors embedded in OptoWire or SavvyWire guidewires. The device processes these inputs to display real-time hemodynamic data, including aortic/distal pressures, FFR, dPR, and now ARi/TIARi indices. Operated by clinicians in a control room or clinical setting, the system provides numerical and waveform outputs to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular and structural heart conditions. The device aids clinical decision-making by providing hemodynamic metrics during procedures like TAVI. Benefits include real-time, accurate pressure monitoring to guide interventional therapy.
Clinical Evidence
Retrospective analysis of 30 pressure recordings (150 beats) from 10 patients compared OpM3 TAVI algorithm outputs to manual calculations based on literature (Sinning et al.; Bugan and Kumar et al.), showing Pearson correlations >0.99. A separate retrospective annotation study of 420 waveforms from 29 patients compared OpM3 outputs to expert clinician annotations. Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated high agreement between the device and experts for systolic/diastolic pressures and LVEDP, with narrow Limits of Agreement (e.g., LVEDP Upper LoA 4.77, Lower LoA -2.42).
Technological Characteristics
Reusable signal processor/monitor with embedded software. Uses fiberoptic pressure sensing technology via OptoWire/SavvyWire. Pressure range: -30 to 300 mmHg; accuracy: +/- 1 mmHg (+/- 1% of reading <50 mmHg, +/- 3% >50 mmHg). Connectivity: Low-level aortic/distal pressure inputs, high-level AUX input. Electrical isolation: Class 2 (double isolation). User interface: Touchscreen. Operating temperature: 15°C to 30°C.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing interventional cardiovascular procedures requiring blood pressure measurement in heart chambers, coronary vessels, or peripheral vessels, including fractional flow reserve assessment and valve gradient monitoring during transcatheter aortic valve procedures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A catheter tip pressure transducer is a device incorporated into the distal end of a catheter. When placed in the bloodstream, its mechanical or electrical properties change in relation to changes in blood pressure. These changes are transmitted to accessory equipment for processing.

Dear Marc Chaunet:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

# PERFORMANCE DATA
#### Risk Based Approach
The Risk Management File for the OptoMonitor 3 currently marketed in USA and cleared in K213854 has been reviewed. One risk of "indices measured under suboptimal conditions" has been identified, added to the Risk Management File and evaluated as tolerable, with benefits outweighing the risks related to the display of the ARi/TIARi adjunctive hemodynamic indicators were already addressed in the Risk Management File as this feature is offered on the version of the device already marketed outside USA.
Risk Management documentation as well as all testing associated with the OptoMonitor 3 with TAVI are included in the software risk management file as the OptoMonitor 3 device is a currently marketed device and the only changes are software related (display of ARi/TIARi adjunctive hemodynamic indicators).
The OptoMonitor 3 is shown to be at least as safe and effective as the predicate device and the inherent risks are believed to be overcome by the benefits of the device use as indicated. Therefore, all residual risks post-mitigation have been deemed acceptable for this design.
No new questions of safety and effectiveness were identified during review of Risk Management documentation or execution of Verification and Validation activities.
All acceptance criteria were met regarding risks and device functionality.
#### Retrospective Analysis
A retrospective analysis was conducted with the objective to compare ARi and TIARi calculation of OpM3 TAVI algorithm and Microsoft Excel based on the mathematical expressions given in the literature by Sinning et al. and Bugan and Kumar et al.. The analysis data set utilized clinically derived data recorded

with the OptoMonitor from existing pre and post market data sources. A total of 30 pressure recordings from 10 unique patients, for a total of 150 beats, was analyzed.
The results of the analysis showed that manual calculation of regurgitation indices using mathematical formulas given in the literature yields statistically equivalent results to the indices displayed by OpM3 TAVI. The correlation coefficients and the graphs with the estimated line from the Deming regression, as well as the Bland-Altman plots, indicate high levels of agreement for each of the four indices. For additional exploration, the Pearson correlations were found to be higher than 0.99 for all four indices.
#### Clinical Study
An annotation study was retrospectively conducted on 420 waveforms in 29 patients in order to compare the values annotated by expert clinicians, a commercially available hemodynamic software and the outputs of OpM3. The experts panel annotated the systolic Ao, diastolic LV, diastolic Ao, and LVEDP pressures on the pressure tracings. A statistical analysis included least mean square analysis and Bland-Altman. Table 2 below shows the levels of agreement (LoA) found through Bland-Altman analysis between the values identified by the OptoMonitor 3 and by the experts panel for each of the annotation.
| Table 2: Levels of Agreement (LoA) between the values identified by the OptoMonitor 3 and by the experts pane. |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| | Upper LoA | Lower LoA |
|--------------|-----------|-----------|
| Systolic LV | 0.22 | -0.26 |
| Systolic Ao | 0.15 | -0.17 |
| Diastolic Ao | 0.23 | -0.11 |
| Diastolic Lv | 4.02 | -3.45 |
| LVEDP | 4.77 | -2.42 |
#### CONCLUSIONS
The results from these tests mentioned above demonstrate that the technological and performance characteristics of the OptoMonitor 3 is comparable to the predicate, supports the substantial equivalence of the device that is the subject of this 510(k), and ensures the subject device can perform in a manner equivalent to the predicate device with the same intended use.
The results of the verification/validation tests and the risk analysis have demonstrated that displaying of the ARi/TIARi adjunctive hemodynamic indicators to the OptoMonitor 3 with TAVI does not raise any new questions of safety and is therefore substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device the OptoMonitor 3 cleared via K213854.
