## Indications for Use

The intended use statement for the device is to measure heart rate, respiration rate, invasive pressure, non-invasive pressure, arrhythmia(only for adults), temperature, SpO2 and central apnea. The device will produce visual and aural alarms if any of the above parameters vary beyond preset limits and produce timed or alarm recordings.

## Device Story

SC 6000 and SC 6000P are portable bedside patient monitors. Device inputs include ECG signals, impedance pneumography for respiration, absorption-spectrophotometry for SpO2, resistive strain gauge transducers for invasive pressure, and oscillometric sensors for non-invasive blood pressure. Software processes these physiological signals to calculate heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, and temperature. Device provides visual and aural alarms when parameters exceed preset limits and generates recordings. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals. Output allows clinicians to track patient status and make timely clinical decisions. Neonatal enhancement expands patient population to include neonates.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Comparison of performance specifications (ECG, respiration, SpO2, temperature, NBP, IBP) against predicate device demonstrates substantial equivalence. No clinical study data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Portable bedside monitor. Sensing: ECG (leads I, II, III, aVR, aVF, aVL, V), impedance pneumography (respiration), absorption-spectrophotometry (SpO2), oscillometric (NBP), resistive strain gauge (IBP). Connectivity: Integrated module. Software-enhanced for neonatal monitoring. Accuracy: ECG ±5-8%, SpO2 ±2% (70-100%), NBP ±3 mmHg, IBP ±2 mmHg.

## Regulatory Identification

The arrhythmia detector and alarm device monitors an electrocardiogram and is designed to produce a visible or audible signal or alarm when atrial or ventricular arrhythmia, such as premature contraction or ventricular fibrillation, occurs.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Arrhythmia Detector and Alarm” will serve as the special control. See § 870.1 for the availability of this guidance document.

## Predicate Devices

- Siemens SIRECUST 1261 ([K952054](/device/K952054.md))
