Intended Use

The LuMon™ System is a noninvasive, non-radiation device that provides information on regional impedance variation within a cross-section of a patient's thorax. Graphical and numerical information is presented to the user as an adjunctive tool to other clinical information to support the user to assess a patient's respiratory condition. The LuMon™ System is indicated for neonatal and infant patients with chest circumferences between 16.5 - 50 cm and adolescent through adult patients with chest circumferences between 76 - 128 cm who are breathing spontaneously or require mechanical ventilation in professional healthcare facilities. Impedance-based respiratory rate monitoring is indicated for adults 22 years and older whose chest circumference is above 76 cm only. The LuMon™ System also displays selected physiological and respiratory parameters from supported bedside devices. The LuMon™ System does not measure regional ventilation of the lungs.

Device Story

LuMon™ System is a compact Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) device for noninvasive monitoring of regional thoracic air content/volume variations. Input: electrical potentials measured by 32-electrode conductive textile belts placed on the thorax. Operation: applies weak alternating currents; measures surface potentials to reconstruct images of regional impedance at 50 Hz. Output: real-time EIT images, waveforms, and derived parameters (e.g., EELI, tidal variation, centroid of thorax impedance changes). Used in professional healthcare facilities by clinicians as an adjunctive tool to assess respiratory condition. Integrates one-way data display from bedside ventilators/monitors. Provides visual/numerical data to support clinical assessment of respiratory status; does not measure regional ventilation. Benefits include non-radiation, continuous regional monitoring of aeration/ventilation distribution changes.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical validation included healthy volunteers and ICU patients. Evaluated global volume changes (vs. plethysmography/ventilator flow), regional impedance distribution (vs. predicate), and respiratory rate (vs. EtCO2 capnography). Pre-clinical validation used rabbit/piglet models (19-50 cm circumference) to confirm regional aeration/ventilation distribution evaluation vs. CT imaging (R-squared 0.97-0.98). Bench testing confirmed performance across all belt sizes and clinical conditions.

Technological Characteristics

EIT system using 32-electrode conductive textile belts. Materials: surface contact, intact skin. Sensing: low-current bioimpedance. Connectivity: one-way display of external device data. Dimensions: 30.8 x 21.8 x 10.1 cm; <4 kg. Non-sterile. Software: EIT image reconstruction and parameter calculation. Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and ISO 10993-1.

Indications for Use

Indicated for neonatal/infant patients (16.5-50 cm chest circumference) and adolescent/adult patients (76-128 cm chest circumference) breathing spontaneously or requiring mechanical ventilation in professional healthcare facilities. Impedance-based respiratory rate monitoring indicated for adults 22+ years with chest circumference >76 cm. Contraindicated for patients with active or external pacemakers/defibrillators.

## Device Description

The LuMon™ System is a compact and lightweight Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) system that provides noninvasive monitoring of variations of regional air content/volume within a cross-section of the patient's thorax and patient respiration. It displays the results as real-time EIT images, waveforms, and derived parameters.

The system consists of a controller display unit, signal acquisition connector cable, and patient-applied conductive textile electrode belts. The system can connect to external bedside devices such as ventilators and monitoring devices to display contextual information for interpretation of EIT measurements.

## Principle of Operation

The LuMon™ System is based on the principles of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), where weak alternating currents are applied and travel along the paths of least resistance through an object, and the resulting electrical potentials at the object's surface are continuously measured by an array of electrodes placed on the object. Typically, electrode arrangements are designed to sequentially pick up signals coming from different directions. In this way, the electrical "point of view" is

Indications – Both devices have similar intended uses and indications. The subject device extends to patients with smaller chest circumferences. The subject device measures and displays a few additional parameters derived from the same information presented on both devices.

{6}

K243765

510(k) Summary

Technology and construction – The operating principle and EIT technology are the same for both subject and predicate devices. The subject and reference device share the use of low-current bioimpedance measurement technology, with EIT benefiting from a larger number of electrodes to improve respiratory rate measurements. The predicate device uses integrated spirometry modules for respiratory rate determination but displays and uses the information similarly to the subject device.

Environment of Use – The environment of use for both devices is professional healthcare environments such as the hospital.

Patient Population – The subject device is indicated for both spontaneously breathing patients and those on mechanical ventilation, whereas the predicate is only indicated for mechanically ventilated patients. The submission presents extensive validation in patients without and with various forms of respiratory support, under conditions such as rapid and shallow breathing, irregular breathing, and coughing, and in different patient orientations (supine, prone, lateral) to support the extension to this broader patient group.

The subject device is intended for pre-term neonatal, infant, and adolescent through adult patients matching the available belt circumferences, whereas the predicate is indicated only for pediatric through adult patients. This submission provides bench, pre-clinical, and clinical validation data for regional impedance measurements across the full range of available belt sizes. Respiratory rate indications are available for the adults 22 years and older with a chest circumference greater than 76 cm.

The testing demonstrates that this expanded patient population can use the subject device as intended.

For Drager Infinity® Acute Care System™ (IACS) Monitoring Solution with Infinity® M540 Patient Monitor, as a reference device

Indications – The LuMon™ System provides a subset of the indications, namely for measuring respiration rate via thoracic bioimpedance.

Technology and construction – Both devices present respiratory rate information derived from the impedance plethysmogram. The subject device derives the plethysmogram from 32 electrodes for improved accuracy.

Environment of Use – There is no difference in the environment of use.

Patient Population – The intended patient population for the LuMon™ System, specifically for breathing frequency, is adults 22 years and older with a chest circumference above 76 cm. The reference device also includes neonates.

510(k) Summary

the studies confirmed the ability of the LuMon™ EIT monitor to evaluate regional aeration and ventilation distribution changes. Various clinical conditions and the full range of ventilation settings (PEEP and driving pressure) were assessed. In each case, the corresponding measurements for aeration/recruitment (as assessed via EELI) and ventilation (as assessed with EIT tidal variation images and global TVi) matched the expected changes from established physiology.

The agreement between EIT and CT regional aeration distribution was assessed. Comparisons were performed for the right and ventral lung regions of interest. The R-squared correlation was excellent at 0.98 between right EIT and CT values and 0.97 between ventral EIT and CT values across all subjects. Using Bland-Altman analysis, bias and precision were well within the pre-defined tolerance for right and ventral measurements.

These pre-clinical validation studies confirmed the ability of the LuMon™ EIT monitor to evaluate regional aeration and ventilation distribution changes in a pre-clinical model representing the neonatal/infant patient population for the complete range of belt sizes spanning from 19 cm equivalent to very low birth weight pre-term neonates to 47 cm thorax circumference for infants.

## Clinical testing

Clinical testing was performed to support safety and effectiveness for the proposed population, environments of use, and displayed parameters. This includes the following for both healthy volunteers and patients.

- Global volume measurement
- Regional impedance distribution
- Respiration Rate

Collectively, these multiple lines of evidence validated the ability of LuMon™ System to accurately reflect spatial, relative amplitude, and temporal changes in ventilation as well as respiratory rate to the corresponding reference standards or predicate device (regional distribution).

## Substantial Equivalence Conclusion

The LuMon™ System has the same intended use as the predicate device, and the differences in technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. Any technological differences have been addressed with appropriate bench, performance, clinical, and safety testing to show that the LuMon™ System is at least as safe and effective as the predicate device. Therefore, these devices are substantially equivalent.

| Principle of operation (for respiratory rate measurement) | Respiratory Rate derived from the impedance Plethysmogram (waveform)
Quantified in breaths per minute (bpm). | For respiration monitoring:
A harmless high frequency current is passed between two ECG electrodes on the patient’s chest. Electrical resistance (impedance) between the electrodes varies with the expansion and contraction of the chest during inspiration and expiration. The M540 displays a respiration waveform and respiratory rate value from these impedance changes.

The M540 can use the respiration signal for central apnea monitoring. | Equivalent
