## Indications for Use

The device is intended to monitor, display and record physiological data to provide cardiac and vital signs monitoring within a medical facility. The device is intended to monitor the electrocardiogram to generate audible and/or visible alarms when an arrhythmia exists. The device is also intended to monitor heart rate, pulse rate, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) invasive blood pressure (IBP), body temperature, carbon dioxide concentration (CO2 and EtCO2), and respiratory rate. The device may generate an audible and/or visual alarm when a measured rate falls outside preset limits. The device may also condition and transmit physiological signals via radio frequency. The device will be available for use by medical personnel on all patient populations.

## Device Story

BSM-2300A Series Bedside Monitor is a multi-parameter patient monitor for clinical use by medical personnel. Device inputs include physiological signals (ECG, SpO2, NIBP, IBP, temperature, CO2, respiratory rate) via patient-connected sensors/cables. System processes these inputs to display waveforms and numerics on a color LCD touchscreen; provides arrhythmia detection and alarm generation for out-of-limit parameters. Features include optional thermal array printer, network communication, and RF signal transmission. Output allows clinicians to observe real-time patient status, facilitating timely clinical intervention. Benefits include continuous patient surveillance and automated alerting for critical physiological changes.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Device performance verified through environmental stress testing (temperature/humidity), electromagnetic interference/compatibility (EMC) testing, and safety standards testing (IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-2-30, 60601-2-34). Software validation confirmed operation within specifications.

## Technological Characteristics

Multi-parameter bedside monitor with color LCD touchscreen. Includes thermal array printer, battery pack, and RF transmission capability. Complies with IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-2-30, 60601-2-34, and CISPR11. Patient-contacting accessories (e.g., SpO2 probes) utilize materials tested per ISO 10993. Software-driven system for signal processing and alarm management.

## 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.

 The device complies with IEC 601-1 subclause 56.3(c) implemented by 21 CFR Part 898 1 The donion of the read on " Sead Wires and Patient Cables. To date, no other special controls r enomance olandards are known or established for this device. The device is designed to comply or performance candards and the standards: IEC 60601-1 (1988-12), Amendment 1 (1991-11), Amendment 2 (1995-03), IEC 60601-1-1 (1992-06), IEC 60601-1-2 (1993-05), CISPR11 Group 1, Allianonent = (1000-00), 12-27 (1994), JEC 60601-2-30 (1995-03), IEC 60601-2-34 (1994-12)
- The device is not sterile. 트
- The device does not directly contact patients. Accessories that contact patients, such as probes and ■ The device are the same accessories as used with other legally marketed products or are comprised of the same component materials as the predicate accessories except as noted below. The disposable SpO2 probes include No.1776 3M Nonwoven Medical Tape which may contact the surface of intact skin. According to the manufacturer, 3M, the material was tested in accordance with ISO 10993 and Good Aooorang to the manafactively of adhesive materials within historically acceptable levels.
- The device was subjected to environmental testing including temperature/humidity stress testing, . electromagnetic interference / electromagnetic compatibility testing and safety standards testing and performance testing procedures. Test criteria is established prior to testing based upon product specifications and applicable standards. The completed testing showed that the device met its product specifications and verified conformance to safety, reliability, and applicable standards. product operification and validation tested the operation of the software functions of the device. The results confirmed that the device performed within specifications.

There are no significant changes in function, biocompatibility, performance or manufacturability compared to the predicate device that would affect the safety and effectiveness of the device as intended for use. Therefore, Nihon Kohden believes that the new BSM-2300 Series, is substantially equivalent to the predicate BSM-4100A Series Bedside Monitor.
