Dear Roger Gray:
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.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled 'Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device'

# Device Description Summary
21 CFR 807.92(a)(4)
The ARMA Blood Pressure Monitor (BPM) device is an automatic upper arm blood pressure monitor intended for non-invasive measurement or monitoring of adults' arterial blood pressure and pulse rate. The device is powered by a rechargeable battery and is designed for home (OTC) use. ARMA BPM operates by occluding the brachial artery with an inflatable bladder. A pressure sensor detects and generates an oscillometric waveform from which systolic and diastolic blood pressure values and the pulse rate are extrapolated. The physical architecture of the device is different from classic blood pressure measurement cuffs which feature a full wrap-around cuff and bladder, whereas the ARMA uses a clamp mechanism and bladder. A size insert is also supplied with the device for users with a small arm circumference 24 cm to 26 cm.
# Intended Use/Indications for Use
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)

pressures and pulse rate of adults by means of an inflatable cuff which is clamped to the upper arm. The intended upper arm circumference is 24 cm to 36 cm (9.4 in to 14.2 in).
## Indications for Use Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
Indications for use are substantially similar. The subject device does not include irregular heartbeat detection, which is included in the predicate device. The upper arm circumference range is different, with the subject device having a smaller arm circumference range. These differences do not constitute a new intended use.
## Technological Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
The subject and predicate devices are both battery-powered and use the same principle of operation (oscillometric method, automatic inflation, deflation and measurement) to measure the user's blood pressure and pulse rate.
## Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions
21 CFR 807.92(b)
Non-clinical testing included demonstration of compliance with applicable international, FDA-recognized, standards including:
- Electrical safety in accordance with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 80601-2-30
- EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) in accordance with IEC 60601-1-2
- Lithium-ion battery safety in accordance with IEC 62133-2
- Software life cycle compliance in accordance with IEC 62304
- Human factors in accordance with ISO/IEC 62366-1
- Transportation simulation in accordance with ISTA 3A
- Biocompatibility of patient-contacting parts in accordance with FDA Guidance "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" - Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff", September 8, 2023
Clinical testing was carried out in accordance with international, FDA-recognized, standard ISO 81060-2:2018, "Non-invasive sphygmomanometers, Part 2: Clinical investigation of intermittent automated measurement type", to evaluate the accuracy of the ARMA device.
ARMA BPM has similar indications for use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation to the predicate device cleared under 510(k) submission K162092. Clinical and bench test performance data demonstrate that the ARMA BPM is as safe and as effective as the predicate and does not raise any new safety and effectiveness concerns. Clinical performance has been validated in accordance with an FDA-recognized standard.
