## Indications for Use

The indications for use for the Accutorr Plus include the monitoring of the following human physiological vital signs: - Blood Oxygenation (SpO2) measurement - Temperature measurement - Non Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) measurement - Heart Rate derived from selected source (SpO2, NIBP) The target populations are the adult and pediatric populations. The monitor is intended for use within the health care facility setting.

## Device Story

Accutorr Plus is a multi-parameter patient monitor; inputs include SpO2, temperature, and NIBP sensors. Device processes physiological signals to derive heart rate and vital sign measurements. Output is displayed on monitor for clinical staff in healthcare facilities. Used for continuous or spot-check patient monitoring; assists clinicians in assessing patient status and making diagnostic or therapeutic decisions. Benefits include real-time physiological data tracking.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; device cleared based on substantial equivalence to existing marketed devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Multi-parameter monitor for SpO2, temperature, and NIBP. Includes embedded firmware for signal processing and data display. Designed for clinical healthcare facility environments.

## Regulatory Identification

An oximeter is a device used to transmit radiation at a known wavelength(s) through blood and to measure the blood oxygen saturation based on the amount of reflected or scattered radiation. It may be used alone or in conjunction with a fiberoptic oximeter catheter.

Dear Mr. Casamassina:

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. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
