BedDot (G1) is a non-contact, bed-mounted vital signs monitor intended to provide continuous measurement of respiratory rate (RR) within a validated operating range of 12–24 breaths/min, and movement in adult patients lying in a supine, resting position in a hospital ward or clinic setting. The operation of the BedDot (G1) has been studied in adults (weight ≥ 50Kg and weight ≤115Kg) during sleep and resting conditions.
Device Story
BedDot (G1) is a non-contact, bed-mounted monitor for adult patients. System uses a vertical geophone sensor module placed under the bed frame to detect micro-vibrations caused by physiological activity. Signals are digitized at 100 Hz and transmitted via Wi-Fi to a backend server. The server processes data to derive respiratory rate, bed occupancy, and body movement. Results are displayed on a secure web-based interface for clinicians. Device is intended for use in hospital wards or clinics under still conditions. It provides trend data for clinical review but does not provide real-time alarms for life-threatening events. Benefits include continuous, non-invasive monitoring of respiratory status and movement without patient contact.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical validation study (n=52 adults) conducted at University of Georgia. Primary endpoint: RR accuracy (12–24 breaths/min) compared to manually scored etCO2 waveforms (Mindray BeneVision N17). Results: MAE 1.77 breaths/min, RMSE 2.80 breaths/min, STD 2.57 breaths/min. Subgroup analyses (sex, age, BMI) showed consistent performance. No adverse events reported.
Technological Characteristics
Non-contact, bed-mounted system. Sensing: Vertical geophone (magnetic element/coil). Energy: +5VDC via AC power module. Connectivity: Wi-Fi to server-based backend. Form factor: Main unit with USB-C and mounting plate. Software: Embedded computing module for signal processing. Non-sterile, reusable, no patient-contacting components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients (weight 50-115kg) in hospital or clinic settings requiring continuous respiratory rate (12-24 breaths/min) and movement monitoring while in a supine, resting position. Not indicated for active patient monitoring, life-threatening situations, or patients with arrhythmias.

510(k) Summary

### 5.0 Device Description
The BedDot (G1) (hereinafter referred to as the test device or BedDot) is a non-contact bed occupancy and vital signs monitor based on a vibration sensing technology using seismic sensors that detect very small vibrations. When installed under a bed, the BedDot can be used to continuously measure the respiration rate (RR) of adult patients lying in a resting position. The system also provides information on bed occupancy and body movements.
The BedDot is intended for use by clinicians or other trained medical personnel under still conditions only. It is not indicated for active patient monitoring, does not provide alarms for timely response in life-threatening situations, and is not intended for use in patients with arrhythmias.
The BedDot system consists of the main unit and compatible accessories, including a power adapter, USB-C cable, and adhesive metal plate for mounting. The main unit incorporates a vertical geophone sensor module, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) board, and an embedded computing module. The geophone contains a magnetic element suspended within a coil assembly; micro-vibrations induced by physiological activity cause relative motion between the magnet and coils, generating an electrical signal. The ADC digitizes the signal at 100 Hz for subsequent processing by the embedded computing module.
The following parameters are estimated:
- Respiratory Rate;
- Bed Occupancy;
- Body Movements.
The BedDot operates in a direct device-to-server configuration. Each BedDot device integrates micro-vibration sensing technology and includes a built-in Wi-Fi module for secure data transmission to a designated backend application hosted on a server. The backend application processes incoming sensor data to derive respiratory rate (RR), bed occupancy status, and body movement parameters. Processed information is presented through a secure web-based user interface that allows authorized users to review current parameter status and historical trend data.
The device is non-sterile, reusable, and contains no patient-contacting components.

510(k) Summary
# **Substantial Equivalence Summary:**
The subject device, BedDot (G1), and the predicate device, EarlySense InSight System (K152911), have substantially equivalent intended use in that both are non-contact monitoring systems intended to provide physiological information, including respiratory rate (RR), movement, and occupancy-related status, for review by healthcare professionals in clinical care environments. Both devices utilize contact-free sensing technologies positioned beneath the patient support surface to detect low-amplitude mechanical signals associated with physiological activity. The predicate device uses a piezoelectric sensing element embedded in a bed sensor panel, while the subject device uses a geophone-based vibration sensing element installed under the bed frame. Despite this difference in sensing hardware, both devices employ the same fundamental measurement approach: acquisition of mechanical micro-motion signals generated by cardiac activity, respiration, and body movement, followed by signal processing to derive clinically relevant physiological parameters.
# **7.0 Non-clinical Testing Summary**

### 8.0 Clinical Test Summary
A clinical validation study was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the BedDot (G1) system for measuring respiration rate (RR) in adult subjects under the device’s intended use conditions (resting/supine, still conditions in a healthcare facility setting). A total of 52 adult subjects from the intended population were enrolled and analyzed at the Clinical and Translational Research Unit, University of Georgia, USA.
For respiration rate validation, BedDot RR outputs were evaluated against clinician-manually scored respiratory rates derived from the raw etCO₂ capnography waveform using the FDA-cleared Mindray BeneVision N17 (K202405). Two independent blinded clinicians manually counted respiratory cycles from the raw waveform, with adjudication by a third blinded clinician when needed. The primary RR validation was restricted to the intended operating range of 12–24 breaths/min, consistent with the device’s intended use population. BedDot achieved an RR MAE of 1.77 breaths/min, and RMSE of 2.80 breaths/min, and STD of 2.57 breaths/min.
Demographic subgroup analyses (sex, age, BMI) and time-range analyses demonstrated consistent performance within the evaluated intended-use population. No device-related adverse events, serious adverse events, or device stability issues were observed during the study.
The clinical test results support clinically acceptable accuracy of BedDot for RR within the intended-use environment.
