Device Story

Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor measures non-invasive blood pressure, pulse rate, temperature, and SpO2. Inputs include blood pressure cuff pressure, temperature probe data, and red/infrared light absorption via SpO2 sensor (finger, toe, ear, or forehead). Device uses microprocessor to interpret light signals for SpO2 calculation. Outputs displayed on screen or printed via integrated thermal printer. Used in hospitals, clinics, ambulatory centers, and nursing homes by healthcare practitioners. Features programmable alarms and automatic blood pressure cycles. Benefits include flexible, simultaneous multi-parameter monitoring for patient assessment in clinical and transport settings.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Equivalence supported by bench testing, including software system-level functional tests, IEC60601-1-2 electromagnetic compatibility testing, Nellcor-standard compliance testing for the MP506 module, and accuracy/usage validation protocols.

Technological Characteristics

Non-invasive vital signs monitor. SpO2 sensing via red/infrared light absorption. Integrated thermal printer. Rechargeable battery. Mounting accessories. Software-based processing. Complies with IEC60601-1-2.

Indications for Use

Indicated for monitoring blood pressure, pulse rate, temperature, and SpO2 in adult and pediatric patients. Contraindicated for neonates and patients connected to heart/lung machines.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A noninvasive blood pressure measurement system is a device that provides a signal from which systolic, diastolic, mean, or any combination of the three pressures can be derived through the use of tranducers placed on the surface of the body.

F. Description of the Device

The Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor is designed to non-invasively and automaticallymeasure systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, temperature and oxygen saturation (SpO2) for adult and pediatric patients. THE

{1}------------------------------------------------

WELCH ALLYN VITAL SIGNS MONITOR IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED ON NEONATAL PATIENTS. All blood pressure, pulse, temperature and SpO2 values are displayed on large, easy-to-read displays, and may be printed via an integrated thermal printer, as desired.

The rechargeable battery and wide variety of mounting accessories make the Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor convenient for many locations. The operator may choose any combination of simultaneous measurement modalities. This flexibility, combined with features such as programmable alarms and automatic blood pressure cycles, makes the Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor ideal for a wide variety of patient monitoring needs.

The Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor is intended for use in a wide variety of health care settings. This includes hospital departments, as well as patient transport within the hospital environment. The Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor is also intended for use in alternate care settings, such as physician offices, freestanding ambulatory care and surgery centers, health clinics and nursing homes. The Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor may also be used during patient transport within any of these alternate care environments.

The Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor is not intended for the monitoring of patients during transport external to the health care environment (eg. ambulance, helicopter transport). The Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor is not intended for use in environments, which are not supervised by a health care practitioner.

#### H. Intended Use

The Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor is intended for monitoring of blood pressure, pulse rate, temperature and oxygen saturation (SpO2) of adult and pediatric patients. The device is not designed, sold or intended for use except as indicated.

The Welch Allyn Spot Check Device is not designed for use with neonates. To ensure pediatric blood pressure accuracy and safety, note that the Welch Allyn Small Child cuffs are the smallest cuffs approved for use with young children and infants. The circumference of the child's arm must fit within the range markings on the cuff.

#### The Welch Allyn Spot Check Device should not be used on patients who are linked to heart/lung machines.

#### I. Technological Similarities and Differences

The Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor and the Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor with MP506 Pulse Oximeter OEM Module are essentially the same device. Welch Allyn has added the new SpO2 module from Nellcor (The MP506 (same as in the N-595 Pulse Oximeter mad ey Nellcor)) to the Vital Signs Monitor. This is an upgraded SpO2 module that was cleared by the FDA 510(k) K012891. The Vital

{2}------------------------------------------------

Signs Monitor was cleared by the FDA 510(k) K002530.

In regards to the change in the SpO2 module for to the Vital Signs Monitor, the basic fundamental technology is the same. A sensor is placed on the finger, toe, ear lobe. or forehead and a microprocessor interprets the amount of red and infrared light that is passing through the tissue and calculates Specific Oxygen (SpO2) of the blood.

## J. Testing for Equivalence

Equivalence to the legally market predicate device was determine through the means of verification and validation testing. The following testing was conducted on the VSM with MP506:

Verification: 3 test were conducted on the VSM 506

- 1) Software system level functional tests
- 2) Pre-scan IEC60601-1-2 testing at a third party test house
- 3) Nellcor compliance testing (whereby Nellcor tested our VSM with their MP506 to their standards).

The full protocols were tested on the VSM with MP506 and these tested were used to show that Welch Allyn implemented correctly the new MP506 SpO2 module.

Validation: 4 test were conducted on the VSM with MP506

- 1) Software system level functional tests
- 2) Accuracy test
- 3) Usage test
- 4) Basic functional tests

The full protocols were tested on the VSM with MP506 and these tests were used to show that the Welch Allyn VSM meet the customer requirements.

## K. 510(k) Summary Conclusions

Based on the following, it is our conclusion that the new Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor with MP506 Pulse Oximeter OEM module is substantially equivalent to the Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor.

- The features and intended use has not changed ●
- The Vital Signs Monitor with MP506 Pulse Oximeter OEM module has . passed all the safety and effectiveness testing.
- The fundamental technology of the Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor with MP506 Pulse Oximeter OEM module has not changed from that of the Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor cleared under K951193.
