Indications for Use

The HANNAH Wireless Vital Signs Monitor is indicated for the continuous monitoring of an infant's heart rate, respiration rate, and occurrences of central apnea in home, hospital and other environments.

Device Story

Infant apnea monitor; provides continuous monitoring of heart rate and respiration. Inputs: 3-lead ECG for heart rate; pressure sensor for respiration. Wireless transmission of data from infant-worn sensors to central unit; eliminates lead wires to reduce strangulation/electrocution risk and motion-related false alarms. Used in home and hospital environments; operated by caregivers/clinicians. Output: real-time vital signs and apnea alerts. Enables clinical decision-making regarding infant respiratory status; benefits patient by reducing false alarms and physical hazards associated with traditional wired monitors.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical study conducted by an independent contract research organization to evaluate performance relative to a legally marketed predicate device. No specific sensitivity, specificity, or p-values provided in the summary.

Technological Characteristics

Wireless infant monitor. Sensing: 3-lead ECG for heart rate; pressure sensor for respiration. Connectivity: Radio frequency transmission from infant-worn sensors to central unit. Standards: Conforms to IEC 601-1, AAMI EC-13, and FDA proposed 'Performance Standard for the Infant Apnea Monitor'.

Indications for Use

Indicated for continuous monitoring of heart rate, respiration rate, and central apnea in infants in home or hospital settings.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An apnea monitor is a complete system intended to alarm primarily upon the cessation of breathing timed from the last detected breath. The apnea monitor also includes indirect methods of apnea detection such as monitoring of heart rate and other physiological parameters linked to the presence or absence of adequate respiration.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Apnea Monitors; Guidance for Industry and FDA.”

### 4. Indications for Use

The HANNAH Wireless Vital Signs Monitor is indicated for the continuous monitoring of an infant's heart rate, respiration rate, and occurrences of central apnea in home, hospital and other environments.

#### 5. Device Description and Substantial Equivalence

The HANNAH system is an infant apnea monitor, which is substantially equivalent to legally marketed devices. The HANNAH system includes features incorporated in legally marketed devices. Like most legally marketed infant apnea monitors, the HANNAH incorporates sensors and alarms for monitoring both breath and heart rate. Like most legally marketed infant apnea monitors, the HANNAH system monitors heart rate using a 3-lead ECG measurement.

The HANNAH system has the same technological characteristics as legally marketed devices. Because lead wires connected to the infant present a documented risk for strangulation and electrocution, and because lead wires are the source of a substantial majority of the false alarms associated with wired monitors, the decision was made to use radio frequencies to transmit the monitoring information from infant-placed sensors to the central unit. Further, since the more common method of monitoring, impedance pneumography, is highly susceptible to false readings due to interference with cardiac signals and motion artifacts, respiration is monitored using a pressure sensor instead.

The manufacture, design and clinical and laboratory testing of the HANNAH system, and the information provided in the 510(k) conformed, where applicable, to FDA guidelines, as well as proposed and recognized standards. In particular, the HANNAH system conforms, where applicable, to FDA's "Performance Standard for the Infant Apnea Monitor" (proposed), FR Tuesday, February 21, 1995, 9762 (vol. 60, no. 34). Further, the device was tested, where applicable, in accordance with IEC 601-1, AAMI EC-13, and other recognized standards. Lastly, a clinical study of the device was conducted by an independent contract research organization in order to evaluate the HANNAH monitor's clinical performance relative to a legally marketed predicate device. The information provided in the 510(k) demonstrates the substantial equivalence of the HANNAH system to legally marketed predicate devices.
