Intended Use
The MTS Option for the ESCORT II Monitor is a portable monitor intended to be used for monitoring vital signs (ECG & SpO₂) of critically ill adult and pediatric patients in the hospital environment.
Device Story
MTS Option for ESCORT II Monitor is a modular, portable patient monitor for hospital use. It accepts dual-vector ECG and SpO2 inputs via hardwired or wireless connection. The device processes these physiological signals to display vital signs on an alphanumeric LCD, aiding clinical decision-making. Clinicians operate the device using front-panel fixed function keys. The system supports selectable adult and pediatric monitoring modes, which automatically adjust algorithms, alarm limits, and parameter defaults. Factory defaults are configurable for specific clinical needs. The device provides real-time monitoring to assist in the care of critically ill patients.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing and product verification/validation studies conducted in accordance with FDA guidance for computer-controlled medical devices and relevant standards (ANSI/AAMI EC-13: 1992, ASTM F 1415-92).
Technological Characteristics
Modular patient monitor; multiparameter module (MPM) for ECG and SpO2; alphanumeric LCD display; hardwired or wireless connectivity; configurable factory defaults; adult/pediatric modes. Complies with ANSI/AAMI EC-13: 1992 (cardiac monitors) and ASTM F 1415-92 (pulse oximeters).
Indications for Use
Indicated for monitoring vital signs (ECG and SpO2) in critically ill adult and pediatric patients within hospital environments.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An oximeter is a device used to transmit radiation at a known wavelength(s) through blood and to measure the blood oxygen saturation based on the amount of reflected or scattered radiation. It may be used alone or in conjunction with a fiberoptic oximeter catheter.

Arleta, California 91331
Telephone: 818.768.6411
Telefacsimile: 818.768.4197
2. Date of Preparation: February 28, 1997
3. Device Name:
Trade Name: MTS Option for the ESCORT® II Monitor
Common Name: Portable Patient Monitor
Classification Name: Portable Patient Monitor, consisting of:
- Cardiac Monitor
- Pulse Oximetry
- Radiofrequency Physiological Signal Transmitter & Receiver
4. Substantial Equivalence:
The MTS Patient Monitor is substantially equivalent to the MDE ESCORT® II+ 400 Series Monitor and to the MDE ESCORT® II Series 300 Monitor.
5. Description of the Device:
The MTS Option for the ESCORT® II Monitor is a modular patient monitor capable of monitoring two parameters simultaneously, including dual-vector ECG and $\mathrm{SpO}_2$. The MTS Module is equipped with an alphanumeric LCD display that is capable of displaying vital signs providing the detail needed to aid clinical decisions.
{2}
The MTS Patient Monitor can monitor adult and pediatric patients. The appropriate monitoring mode for each patient, ADULT or PED, is selectable. Changing from one mode to another automatically changes all appropriate algorithms, alarm limits and any applicable parameter defaults.
The MTS Module functions through fixed function keys labeled on the front panel.
Factory defaults have been established and installed for all system and physiological monitoring issues (i.e., default ECG lead, initial inflation pressure, etc.). These values may be configured for specific needs.
6. Indications for use of the Device:
The MTS Option for the ESCORT® II Monitor is a portable patient monitor intended to be used for monitoring vital signs of critically ill adult and pediatric patients in the hospital environment.
7. Summary of the Technological Characteristics of the New Device Compared to the Predicate Device.
The MTS Option for the ESCORT® II Monitor is substantially equivalent to the MDE ESCORT® II Series 300 Monitor and the ESCORT® II+ 400 Series Monitor. The main difference between the ESCORT® with MTS Option Monitor and the current ESCORT® Series Monitors is the addition of a new multiparameter module (MPM) that can be communicate via hardwired or wireless connection. The wireless option will be configured to monitor ECG and oxygen saturation via pulse oximetry.
8. Device Testing:
The MTS Monitor is designed to meet established standards as follows:
- Reviewer Guidance for Premarket Notification Submissions, Anesthesiology and Respiratory Devices Branch; Division of Cardiovascular, Respiratory and Neurological Devices; November, 1993;
- Reviewer Guidance for Computer Controlled Medical Devices Undergoing 510(k) Review; Office of Device Evaluation, August, 1991.
- ANSI/AAMI EC-13: 1992, Cardiac monitors, heart rate meters, and alarms, 2nd edition
- ASTM F 1415 - 92, Standard Specification for Pulse Oximeters
{3}
Tests demonstrating consideration of and mitigation of hazards identified as having potentially arisen as the result of the modifications described were developed. Conformance to product development procedures and plans is assured by application of comprehensive bench testing and product verification and validation studies.
9. Test Conclusions:
The MTS Option for the ESCORT® II Monitor is shown by performance testing to be a safe, effective portable patient monitor. The MTS Monitor is substantially equivalent to the MDE ESCORT® II 300 Series and the MDE ESCORT® II+ 400 Series Monitors.
