Intended Use

The BCI Mini-Torr Plus monitor is a portable noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitor for spot checking or monitoring of a patient's systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial (MAP) blood pressures, and pulse rate. Optional oximeter, electronic thermometer and/or inter are available. The device will provide fast, reliable NIBP measurements on patients ranging from children (pediatric) to adults when using the appropriate BCI blood pressure cuff. The oximetry option works with all BCI oximetry probes, providing SpO2 and pulse rate on all patients from neonate to adult. The electronic thermometry option requires Welch Allyn thermometry probes and probe covers. It provides oral or rectal temperature information for patients neonate through adult. The device is intended for use in both clinical and ground EMS environments by health care professionals. It is not intended for home use. The device permits patient monitoring with adjustable alarm limits as well as visible and audible alarm signals for the NIBP and oximetry functions.

Device Story

Portable tabletop NIBP monitor; includes optional SpO2 sensor, electronic thermometer probe, and internal printer. Inputs: NIBP cuff pressure, SpO2 sensor signals, temperature probe data. Operation: processes physiological signals to display systolic/diastolic/MAP, pulse rate, SpO2, and temperature on LED display. Used in clinical/EMS settings by healthcare professionals. Provides real-time monitoring with adjustable audible/visible alarms for NIBP and oximetry. Serial port allows data communication. Benefits: enables rapid, reliable patient assessment in transportable format.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Comparison testing performed using simulators across entire specification range. NIBP/oximetry parameters compared against predicate BCI 6004; temperature performance compared against Welch Allyn 678 in water bath (84-108 °F). Results showed mean differences (e.g., -0.14 mmHg systolic, -0.04 °F temperature) within specified tolerances. No clinical human or animal data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Tabletop NIBP monitor with LED display and keypad. Connectivity: serial port. Power: desktop charger. Sensing: NIBP cuff, SpO2 probes, Welch Allyn thermometry probes. Dimensions: lightweight/transportable. Software: embedded firmware for signal processing and alarm management.

Indications for Use

Indicated for spot checking or monitoring systolic, diastolic, MAP blood pressure, pulse rate, SpO2, and temperature in patients ranging from neonate to adult. Used by healthcare professionals in clinical and ground EMS environments. Not for home 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.

#### New Device Description:

The currently marketed BCI Mini-Torr Plus noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitor with optional oximeter, and printer has been updated to include an additional electronic thermometer option which uses the same technology as existing legally marketed devices. This device is designed to provide full-featured monitoring capabilities in a lightweight, transportable design. The system consists of a small tabletop NIBP monitor with a desktop charger. Features include an NIBP cuff hose connection, an optional SpO2 sensor interface, an optional temperature probe interface and holder, an optional internal printer, display of patient data via an LED display (systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure, interval timer, SpO2, pulse rate, pulse strength, temperature), system status LEDs (battery, sensor, alarm silence, alarm, and alert), and the function keypad area consisting of eleven keys (power, start, cancel, stat, up and down arrows, interval, recall, manual/auto, alarm set, and alarm silence). The monitor has a serial port that is used for data communication.

The BCI Mini-Torr Plus monitor is a portable noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitor for spot checking or monitoring of a patient's systolic, and mean arterial (MAP) blood pressures, and pulse rate. Optional oximeter, electronic thermometer and/or inter are available. The device will provide fast, reliable NIBP measurements on patients ranging from children (pediatric) to adults when using the appropriate BCI blood pressure cuff. The oximetry option works with all BCI oximetry probes, providing SpO2 and pulse rate on all patients from neonate to adult. The electronic thermometry option requires Welch Allyn thermometry probes and probe covers. It provides oral or rectal temperature information for patients neonate through adult.

The device is intended for use in both clinical and ground EMS environments by health care professionals. It is not intended for home use. The device permits patient monitoring with adjustable alarm limits as well as visible and audible alarm signals for the NIBP and oximetry functions.

#### Performance Data:

The design of this device utilizes currently available technology found in many legally marketed devices. Testing was done to ensure that BCI 6004 monitor would perform within the environment(s) for which it is to be marketed. Testing was performed in accordance with the guidelines and standards found in the reviewer's guides for respiratory devices and electronic thermometers. EMC, electrical, mechanical durability, safety (operator and patient), and temperature/humidity testing has been completed. The results demonstrated that the BCI 6004 monitor was in compliance with the guidelines and standards referenced in the reviewer's guides and that it performed within its specifications and functional requirements.

Comparison testing of the new 6004 with temperature option and the predicate 6004 was done to show that the performance of the NIBP and oximetry parameters of the two devices are the same (systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressures, NIBP heart rate, SpO2, and oximetry heart rate). Using simulator s, measurements were made by both devices. The tests were run with simulator settings spanning the 6004's entire specification range. The difference between measurements made by both devices (predicate - new) was calculated. The average difference between readings were -0.14 mmHg for systolic pressure, 0.07 mmHg for diastolic pressure, 0.07 mmHg for MAP, 0 bpm for heart rate measured with the NIBP parameter, 0% for SpO2 and 0 bpm for heart rate measured with the oximetry parameter. All measurements were within the specified tolerances of the monitors and simulators. These data support substantial equivalence of the NIBP and oximetry parameters of the new 6004 monitor to the original 6004 monitor.

Comparison testing of the new 6004 with temperature option and the Welch Allyn 678 SureTemp Thermometer was done to show that the performance of the temperature measurements made by the two devices is the same. Both the BCI 6004 and Welch Allyn 678 monitors were used to simultaneously measure temperature in a water bath over their

{2}------------------------------------------------

entire specified temperature range (84 - 108 °F). The average difference (predicate - new) between measurements made with both monitor was -0.04 °F, which is within the specified tolerance (±0.2 °F).

The testing described above indicate that there is no functional difference between the operation of the new 6004 NIBP monitor with temperature option and the original 6004 NIBP monitor or Welch Allyn 678 SureTemp Thermometer. On the basis of these results, it is our determination that the device is safe, effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed predicate device(s).

This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.92.
