Description:
## System
The DS-5100E Patient Monitor System is a pre-configured monitor meant to acquire and monitor physiological signals from patients. The system is designed to be used in an ICU, CCU, OR, ER, or Recovery areas of a hospital or clinic. Battery operation allows the DS-5100E to be used to monitor patients being transported within the healthcare facility. Patient ages from neonates to adults can all be monitored. Waveforms, numeric, and trend data from these patients are available to the clinician on the system’s display or it may be printed on the system’s recorder.
The Fukuda Denshi model DS-5100E Portable Patient Monitoring system consists of a main unit and a power unit.
The main unit of the system can be remotely located from the power unit and connected via a cable to provide continuous AC power. Batteries are installed into the main unit and the power unit to allow both parts to be disconnected from AC power and still function. The main unit may also be disconnected from the power unit and function independently on battery power.
Small, lightweight, but powerful in its application of technology, the DS-5100E system is portable and extremely easy to use.
High speed RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) microprocessors, along with a high resolution color display and touch screen technology has made the DS-5100E a unique and intuitive patient monitor.
Upgrade capability has been made simple and quick through the use of high speed flash memory.
A Recorder module (HR-500), a multi-parameter telemetry transmitter (HLX-501), and an IC memory card are available as options.
## Features
A 6 inch diagonal, active matrix TFT color display provides sharp, crisp waveforms and numerics.
A high quality, clear touch screen provides user interface that is simple and easy to use.
Up to 4 color waveforms can be displayed, measured and three can be recorded simultaneously on the optional HR-500 recorder.

# Comparison to Predicate Device
In summary, the DS-5100E system is pre-configured and smaller version of the DS-5300 patient monitor. Changes to the system include a reduction in size and weight, pre-configured parameters, battery operation, and simplification of the display. A single, identical central processing unit simplifies the design while allowing the majority of the DS-5300 software to be used without modification. The majority of the changes can be summarized as pre-configured, smaller, and battery powered.
# Technological Characteristics
The DS-5100E utilizes a 6 inch TFT color LCD display with a high quality, analog touch screen. Physiological information is acquired through pre-configured inputs in a similar manner to the predicate device. A PCMCIA card interface provides a means to temporarily store data or to update the system's flash memory.
The pulse oximetry design is licensed from Nellcor Puritan Bennett and is the same as the Nellcor design used in the predicate device.
These technological differences do not affect the safety or efficacy of the device. Any safety issues that may be raised by a software controlled medical device are the same issues already addressed by the predicate device and are addressed in the systems hazard analysis and in the system validation.
# Testing:
Laboratory testing was conducted to validate and verify that the Fukuda Denshi model DS-5100E Portable Patient Monitor met all design specifications and was substantially equivalent to the FUKUDA DENSHI model DS-5300. This testing consisted of all environmental testing identified in the FDA's DCRND November 1993 "Reviewer Guidance Document for Premarket notification Submissions" Draft Guidance Document. Additional testing was performed to demonstrate compliance with the ANSI/AAMI standards ES1-1993, "Safe current limits for electromedical apparatus"; EC11-1991, "Diagnostic electrocardiographic devices"; and EC13-1992, "Cardiac monitors, heart rate meters, and alarms." Finally, a hazard analysis of the system and its software was performed and testing was conducted to validate the systems overall operation.

Testing of the non-invasive blood pressure portion of the DS-5000 series' system was conducted according to the requirements outlined in the ANSI/AAMI standards SP10-1992, "Electronic or automated sphygmomanometers." The results of this testing has been reviewed as part of the DS-5300's 510(k), K964187. Data presented here demonstrates that the DS-5100E system performs at least as well as the model DS-5300.
Testing of the pulse oximetry portion of the DS-5000 series' system was conducted according to Nellcor Puritan Bennett's testing protocol. The results of this testing has been reviewed as part of the DS-5300's 510(k), K964187. Data presented here demonstrates that the DS-5100E system performs at least as well as the model DS-5300.
Testing of the arrhythmia and ST Level portions of the DS-5000 series' system were conducted according to AAMI Recommended Practice ECAR-1987, "Recommended Practice for Testing and Reporting Performance Results of Ventricular Arrhythmia Detection Algorithms. The results of this testing has been reviewed as part of the DS-5300's 510(k), K964187. The data is reproduced in tabular format in the appendix.
Although the device is neither life supporting nor life sustaining, diagnostic information derived from the use of the device and alarms generated by the device may be critical to the proper management of the patient.
So, the areas of risk for this device are the same as the predicate device and other devices in this class, and are the following:
- Electrical shock
Excessive electrical chassis leakage current can disturb the normal electrophysiology of the heart, and possibly leading to the onset of cardiac arrhythmias.
- Misdiagnosis
- Inadequate design of the signal processing and measurement circuitry or program can lead to generation of inaccurate diagnostic data. If inaccurate diagnostic data are used in managing the patient, the physician may prescribe a course of treatment that places the patient at risk unnecessarily.
- Inadequate design of the device's software, used to make various measurements, can lead to generation of inaccurate diagnostic data. If inaccurate diagnostic data are used in managing the patient, the physician may prescribe a course of treatment that places the patient at risk unnecessarily.

{5}
- Inadequate design of the systems ability to alert the users through audible and visual indicators, can lead to user mistrust and/or inadequate response to the patient's condition. If an inadequate response to the patient's condition should occur the patient may unnecessarily be placed at risk.
The design of the DS-5100E has taken into account all the above. The device is designed to meet UL 601, CSA 22.2 and AAMI standards for electrical safety for medical equipment to prevent the possibility of excessive electrical leakage current to the patient.
## Conclusion:
The conclusions drawn from clinical and laboratory testing of the Fukuda Denshi model DS-5100E Portable Patient Monitor demonstrates that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device, the Fukuda Denshi model DS-5300 Patient Monitoring System.
