Intended Use

The Citizen CH-601A and CH-601B digital wrist sphygmomanometers are intended to be used for the oscillometric measurement of systolic blood pressure and pulse. They are intended to be sold over-the-counter.

Device Story

Handheld digital wrist sphygmomanometer; measures systolic/diastolic blood pressure and pulse via oscillometric method. Input: pressure oscillations detected by wrist cuff during automatic inflation/deflation cycle. Processing: microcomputer-controlled analysis of oscillations. Output: LCD display of blood pressure and pulse values. Used in home/clinical settings by patients or clinicians. CH-601B includes memory function for last reading. Benefits: enables convenient, noninvasive self-monitoring of blood pressure.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Laboratory data submitted to establish accuracy of blood pressure and pulse measurements compared to the Omron predicate device.

Technological Characteristics

Microcomputer-controlled digital wrist sphygmomanometer. Oscillometric sensing principle. Electric pump for auto-inflation; automatic air-release valve for deflation. Hard plastic housing with LCD interface. Wrist cuff (135-195 mm circumference) with velcro adjustment. Powered by two LR03 batteries. Operating range: 50°F to 104°F, 30% to 85% relative humidity.

Indications for Use

Indicated for noninvasive oscillometric measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse from the left wrist in adults. Intended for over-the-counter use.

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.

|----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Common Name: | Wrist Sphygmomanometer (blood pressure meter) |
| Classification Name: | Noninvasive blood pressure measuring system, per 21<br>C.F.R. § 870.1130 |

#### PREDICATE DEVICES

Omron HEM-605 Digital Wrist Sphygmomanometer (1)

#### INTENDED USE

The Citizen CH-601A and CH-601B digital wrist sphygmomanometers are intended to be used for the oscillometric measurement of systolic blood pressure and pulse. They are intended to be sold over-the-counter.

#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Citizen Ch-601A and CH-601B digital wrist sphygmomanometers are small handheld noninvasive blood pressure measurement systems that measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse from the user's left wrist. The units are contained in a hard plastic housing that contains a user interface panel and an adjustable wrist cuff. The user interface panel has a power switch, a start switch, and a liquid crystal display ("LCD") for displaying the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse.

{1}------------------------------------------------

The device measures blood pressure through the use of an automatically-inflating wrist cuff. The cuff automatically deflates during blood pressure measurement. The only difference between the CH-601A and the CH-601B is that the CH-601B has a memory function which displays the last blood pressure readout (but not the last pulse) when the system is turned on.

### TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

Both the Citizen Sphygmomanometers and the Omron predicate device measure the diastolic and systolic blood pressure from the left wrist using oscillometric methods. Both systems are microcomputer controlled, digital, auto-inflate, wrist sphygmomanometers. The Omron predicate device does not have any more memory function.

Like the Omron predicate, the Citizen sphygmomanometers display systolic and diastolic pressure ranges from 0 and 280 mm Hg. Both devices have a blood pressure measurement accuracy of the greater of + 3mm Hg or + 2% of the reading. The pulse measurement range of the Citizen devices and the Omron predicate are also the same, from 40 to 200 pulses/minute. The accuracy of the pulse measurements for both the Citizen devices and the Omron predicate are also the same, from 40 to 200 pulses/minute. The accuracy of the pulse measurements for both the Citizen sphygmomanometers and the Omron predicate device are ± 5% of the measured pulse frequency. Citizen submitted laboratory testing data to establish the accuracy of its Sphygmomanometers for comparison to the Omron predicate device.

Both the Citizen and the Omron devices utilize an auto-inflate wrist cuff system for blood pressure measurement. The Citizen and Omron devices are designed to measure blood pressure and pulse from the left wrist. The wrist cuff for both systems is designed to accommodate wrists with a circumference of between 135 mm and 195 mm. The wrist cuff on the Citizen device and the predicate device are both adjusted by velcro. Inflation of the wrist cuff for the Citizen devices and the Omron predicate are accomplished with an electric pump and pressure is released during deflation by an automatic air-release valve.

The Citizen devices, like the Omron predicate, have a "POWER" switch, a "START" switch, and an LCD display. The operating environment for the Citizen sphygmomanometers and the Omron predicate are also the same: 50°F and 104°F and 30% to 85% relative humidity. Although the Citizen devices use two "LR03" size batteries, the Omron predicate device uses 2 "AAA" batteries. Any minor differences in the appearance, technology, or manufacture of the Citizen devices and the predicate device do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.
