## Intended Use

The Model 510 Series consists of the Model 510 and the Model 511 monitors. These monitors were originally cleared for monitoring respiration, heart rate, optional pulse oximetry and for detecting central apnea in infants in the home and hospital environments. Both monitors are identical in design with the exception that the Model 511 has a numeric display and the Model 510 does not. This submission identifies the additional adult/pediatric monitoring mode.

## Device Story

Corometrics Model 510/511 monitors provide continuous physiological monitoring; inputs include 3-wire ECG for heart rate and transthoracic impedance for respiration; optional pulse oximetry via spectrophotometry/plethysmography using Nellcor N-180 signal processing. Device detects central apnea; provides visual/audible alarms for heart rate, respiration, and apnea. Used in home and hospital settings by clinicians or caregivers. Output displayed on monitor (numeric display on 511). Software update enables adult/pediatric monitoring modes. Data informs clinical decision-making regarding patient stability and respiratory/cardiac status.

## Clinical Evidence

Clinical study assessed respiration detection accuracy in pediatric (1-18 years) and adult (19+ years) populations (n=representative distribution, 62% male/38% female, ages 2-74). Subjects dual-monitored with test device and nasal airflow reference. Results showed correlation between test device and reference consistent with infant-mode predicate findings. Analysis noted variation in true/false positive alarms based on electrode placement.

## Technological Characteristics

3-wire ECG (Lead I) for heart rate; transthoracic impedance for respiration; spectrophotometry/plethysmography for SpO2. Compliance with ANSI/AAMI EC-13:1992. Software-enabled adult/pediatric mode. Model 511 includes numeric display; Model 510 does not.

## Regulatory Identification

A breathing (ventilatory) frequency monitor is a device intended to measure or monitor a patient's respiratory rate. The device may provide an audible or visible alarm when the respiratory rate, averaged over time, is outside operator settable alarm limits. This device does not include the apnea monitor classified in § 868.2377.

### [21 CFR § 807.92(a)6] Predicate Device Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The predicate Model 510 Series (Infant Mode) and the proposed Model 510 Series (with Adult/Pediatric Mode enable) uses the same technology for detecting, measuring, and displaying heart rate and respiration rate (including the detection of central apnea). The Model 510 Series measures heart rate based on a three wire electrocardiograph (ECG). The heart rate is calculated from the lead I signal using the R-R interval on a beat-to-beat basis. The respiration method utilized is transthoracic impedance, using the same three wires as the ECG component. This technology is the same as that of the EdenTec predicate device, for both patient populations.

The pulse oximetry mode is based on spectrophotometry and plethysmography techniques developed by Nellcor Puritan Bennett (NPB). Specifically, the Model 510 Series utilizes the same signal processing board and patient accessories as the NPB N-180 Pulse Oximeter.

### [21 CFR § 807.92(b)1] Brief discussion of nonclinical tests

Nonclinical testing that was required to demonstrate substantial equivalence focused on the device changes that were the subject of this 510(k) submission: enabling the adult/pediatric mode via a software change. This software change did not affect the mechanical or electrical performance of the monitor; thus electrical and mechanical testing was required to be retested. Nonclinical testing consisted of: (a) validation of the software change and regression testing of applicable monitor functions/operations; and (b) verification of compliance with applicable requirements of ANSI/AAMI EC-13:1992.

The accuracy of heart rate, respiration rate and percent $\mathrm{SpO}_2$ were verified in the validation and verification phase through the use of a patient simulator. The visual and audible alarm functions (e.g. apnea, heart rate, respiration rate, etc.) were repeatedly verified with pre-defined and random selected limits. Vital operations such as Self-Test functions were also verified. A software Validation Test Plan, derived from the overall system specifications was used to challenge the various system capabilities.

The monitor was tested and found to be in compliance to applicable requirements of ANSI/AAMI EC-13:1992. The applicable requirements to which the monitor was tested include: 3.2.1 Operating Condition, 3.2.2 Overload Protection, 3.2.3 Risk Current (isolated patient connection), 3.2.4 Auxiliary Output Risk Current (isolated patient connection), 3.2.5 Respiration Lead-Off Sensing and Active Noise Suppression Risk Current, 3.2.6 QRS Detection, 3.2.7 Range/Accuracy of Heart Rate Meter, 3.2.8 Alarm System, Alarm Limit Range.

### 807.92(b)2 Brief discussion of clinical tests

Clinical testing of the adult/pediatric mode was performed as additional verification of the monitor performance in a clinical setting. The primary objective was to assess the accuracy of respiration detection. Subjects monitored in the study were divided into two groups: Group 1 (Pediatric, age 1 - 18 years) or Group 2 (Adult; age 19 years and older). Each patient was dual monitored with the test device and a reference monitor (i.e. nasal airflow). Recordings were independently scored by the principal investigator. Evaluation of the collected data included: comparison of the respiratory rate detection (510 Series vs. nasal airflow); and visual comparison

of cardiac, respiratory and airflow waveforms. An analysis of the results demonstrated that the % true and false positive alarms had considerable variation in relation to the electrode placement. The study population consisted of a representative distribution (62% male, 38% female with ages ranging from 2 to 74 years of age). The correlation between the study monitor and the reference device was consistent with previous findings for the predicate Model 510 Series (infant mode).

## 807.92(b)3 Conclusions drawn from 807.92(b)1,2

New device testing focused on the software changes required to enable the Adult/Pediatric mode. The specific changes identified in this submission regarded only software and associated labeling changes. It was determined that these changes did not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the monitor. The original electrical and mechanical performance testing that was submitted with the infant 510(k) submission still applied, and was therefore not repeated.

In summary, the monitor was found to comply with the requirements of the Validation Test Plan and product system specifications. Verification of the monitor performance in clinical testing showed that the correlation between the 510 Series to nasal airflow remain consistent with previous findings for the predicate Model 510 Series (i.e. with infant mode enabled only). These test results along with the labeling and the predicate device comparison of device specifications demonstrate that the modified 510 Series is substantially equivalent to its listed predicate devices.
