# Device Description
ENVOY is hospital based, multiparameter patient monitor for monitoring physiological patient vital signs.
The ENVOY patient monitor system consists of the following components:
- Main Processing Unit
- Display Unit
- Module Rack
- Vital Signs Plug-in Modules
ENVOY vital signs modules acquire vital signs data from the patient, and display their waveforms and alarms indications on the ENVOY display unit. Vital signs and waveform information are displayed simultaneously on the ENVOY Display Unit. Up to 8 traces can be displayed at any one time.
The vital signs modules interface with readily available physiologic transducers through electrically isolated patient input connections. After amplification, the signals are digitized, analyzed and displayed. All processing and alarm determination for ECG, Respiration and Invasive Blood Pressure is made using proprietary algorithms and software based on previously marketed Mennen Medical monitoring devices tested against well known and accepted data bases that present representative examples of waveform artifact to be encountered in real case conditions. SpO2 and Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Modules use software/hardware from vendors whose products already appearing on the USA market.
Information from each vital sign is presented in a separate portion of the display. Each vital sign is labeled for identification and numeric value. Displayed Vital sign information can include: Primary Vital Sign Name, Waveform, Vital Sign Numeric Value, Alarm Status Message.
Operation of the ENVOY is accomplished by interaction with front panel controls on the main processor unit. A quick-knob control allows direct interaction with displayed menus for direct parameter selection and setup. Where manual entry of alphanumeric information is required, a menu keyboard menu is display.
ENVOY is a reusable, software driven, patient monitor, intended for use as part of a physiological monitoring system in a hospital environment. As such it is not a life supporting, or life sustaining device; nor is it implantable and therefore sterility is not a consideration.
ENVOY complies with IEC 601-1 Medical Electrical Equipment, IEC 601-2-27 Safety of electrocardiographic monitoring, IEC 601-2-30 Requirements for automatic cycling indirect blood pressure monitoring, AAMI/ANSI SP-10 Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers, IEC 601-2-34 Requirements for invasive blood pressure monitoring, AAMI/ANSI ES1 Safe Current Limits for Electromedical Apparatus, and AAMI/ANSI EC13, Cardiac Monitors, Heart Rate Meters and Alarms. ENVOY is not a kit, does not contain any drug or biological products and is not for prescription use.

## Alternative Practices and Procedures:
The information displayed by ENVOY is acquired by similar techniques used by other commercially available equipment within the same product category. Like the referenced predicate products, ENVOY provides vital signs information for a patient. This enables a single operator to monitor several parameters for significant clinical events. Whenever an alarm is detected the parameter and alarm type are identified. Viewing the patient’s current physiological waveforms on ENVOY allows the user to qualify the severity of the alarm condition.
ENVOY integrates the measured vital signs information for a patient into a single display, and provides a uniform method for interaction and comparison.

## Summary of Validation
ENVOY is a physiologic patient monitor. Device validation studies were performed to verify that conditions detected by the “bedside device” were completely and accurately reported and displayed on the ENVOY.
## Validation:
ENVOY was tested against Mennen Medical’s Design Specifications, in accordance with the procedures identified in Part 7 Section 2, with results as presented in Part 7 Section 3.
Simulated inputs were used to test the vital signs monitored by the ENVOY. The objective of this study was to compare the performance of the ENVOY against voluntary industrial standards where appropriate, and Mennen Medical design standards where appropriate, or where industrial standards did not exist.
Software validation was tested against Mennen Medical’s test plan protocol. Simulated patient waveforms were generated using a DNI Navada Inc. 217A Patient simulator and Mennen Medical simulators.
ECG/Heart Rate response was evaluated against the AAMI/ANSI Cardiac Monitors, Heart Rate Meters, and Alarms Standards.
Testing of other Vital signs was performed against Mennen Medical’s Design specifications. Measurements were within published specifications.
Patient safety was confirmed by testing EN60601-1 and AAMI/ANSI Safe Current Limits for Electromedical Apparatus standard.
ENVOY complies with IEC 601-1 requirements for flammability, mechanical abuse, temperature and humidity. Environmental testing was conducted pursuant to IEC-68-2-1 (Cold), IEC-68-2-2 (Dry Heat), IEC-68-2-3 and IEC-68-2-56 (Damp heat steady state), IEC-68-2-13 (Low air pressure), IEC-68-2-6 (Vibration - sinusoidal), IEC-68-2-36 (Random vibration wide band), IEC 68-2-27 (Shock) and MIL-STD-810E.
EMC testing, pursuant to IEC 601-1-2, IEC 801-1/2/3/4 and 5, EN 55011 and CISPR 16 was conducted and compliance verified.
Non-invasive blood pressure was evaluated for IEC601-2-30 Requirements for automatic cycling indirect blood pressure monitoring. The performance of the ENVOY was compared against another automated non-invasive blood pressure device (Mennen Medical HORIZON XL). The study followed the AAMI Electronic or Automate Sphygmomanometers Standard SP-10 (Refer to Part 8 for NIBP clinical trials and results).
Clinical validation studies of the Pulse Oximetry Module are present in Part 8 of the submittal.

## Conclusions Drawn from Validation Studies:
The results of the validation studies indicate that ENVOY is safe, effective and poses no new risks when compared against the Mennen Medical Design Standards, and equipment already in clinical use.
## Software Validation
Software validation verified the functionality of the Mennen Medical ENVOY from a “black box” approach. Validation was performed by a persons other than those involved in the design of the system. This independent audit confirmed that the system (both hardware and software) met the specified requirements.
### Software Validation Plan:
The software validation plan tested the following areas:
- Verified that the system performed according to specified requirements.
- Verified the system by exercising user input and assuring correct output.
- Checked for hidden functionality.
- Verified that the system recovers from errors.
The SOFTWARE VALIDATION PLAN was reviewed and approved by Mennen Medical’s Engineering and Quality Assurance Departments, insuring that the tests were both valid and thorough.
The SOFTWARE VALIDATION PLAN was executed and the results were analyzed by the Quality Assurance and Engineering Departments. The results met expectations and the software was approved for release, pending clearance of the 510(k) process.

Dear Mr. Raichman:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
