Regulatory Classification

Identification

A noninvasive blood pressure measurement system is a device that provides a signal from which systolic, diastolic, mean, or any combination of the three pressures can be derived through the use of tranducers placed on the surface of the body.

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) The ARMA automatic Blood Pressure Monitor is indicated for home use for the non-invasive measurement of diastolic and systolic blood K253059 Page 1 of 2 {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. K253059 Page 2 of 2
